You can get free apps without any card details. You can also setup to pay via paypal if thats what you want?

thanks looks like free apps only for me as i dont use paypal

You can download free apps without a card and there are lots of them. Purchases for paid apps are made using Google Checkout which uses a debit or credit card, but you could check if there are any other funding options.

Yes, so long as people do not post Warez links (ie links to cracked/or serial code supplied software that should normally be paid for).
Asking for PMs suggests Warez is what you are looking for, this is NOT permitted here!!

Windows 7 on HTC desire

Probably a very silly question but I have to ask ;-)
Will Windows 7 ever be able to run on a rooted HTC desire ?
If so who's gonna have a go ...

one word WHY!! I can cope without another device showing a blue screen of death!!

No, Windows is closed source so making it work is difficult and probably illegal too.

@OP: That's a joke right? ..... right??

Because you can is the obvious answer, but you can't so erm....

Who needs to have Windows 7 if you can have Windows 95 ?

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Windows 7 is x86 if not x64 architecture and will not run on ARM based Systems.
And since its closed source nobody will bother.
So its not gonna happen.
If you like closed source buy Apple

More to the point, if you want windows mobile, buy an HD2.
And how about using the search button? This gets asked EVERY week.

Always someone moans about using the search button ... if you know the answer don't read the thread.
Ofcourse I don't want a HD2 otherwise my signature would say sent from hd2 all I wanted to.know is whether anyone would be able to get 7 to.run on the desire regardless of who likes it or what platform its meant for

My point is if you used the search button we would not be having this pointless discussion, these threads are very repetitive to regulars and just add more clutter to the rom development section.

That is indeed the most silly quesition u could come up with..
Are u one of the boys who want to brag around saying their phone is like the best, because its an android phone but it can also run other devices OS meaning u got like 2 or 3 phones in one??
I mean thats pretty lame. Go buy an HD2 and run android on it, or flash a rom stuffed with galaxy S wallpapers and themes and stuff.
You bought a desire.. thats like the ultimate gadget out there.. and ur still not happy with it? Go ask ur mommy and daddy to break the piggy bank, and post a thread saying "i'll pay 1500€ per developer, who will join the team in making win7 flashable on desire"
that should answer your "silly" question about IF and WHEN as well as WHO.
Sry but posts like this just piss me off.. WHY would you want a regular interior of VW Golf 1,9 TDI in a freaking Ferrari???
Thats what u wanna have with asking for win7 on a desire!

Ofcourse we freakin' moan. We frequent XDA visitors see the same question posted over and over again by people who don't search.
If you had searched, you would also know the answer, just like those who read the rules when they sign up for XDA-Dev forums.
In the top of this very forum there is a simple thread called "Forum & Marketplace Rules".
And the first rule, to rule all the rest is:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

I'm pretty sure the "likely someone already asked that question" applies here.

You're not alone. Nobody seems to bother using search. Wish we had more mods. And mods that remind people about the rules. Three warnings and you're out would be nice.

I cant understand why to buy an Android Phone when i need/like Winmob Features! Android is what it is not more not less! It do what it do if it not do what you want dont buy it!

As are these sorts of posts moaning about search buttons. Ironic eh?

there are 2 main points that make this thread pointless!!!
1) porting windows mobile is not possible on an android phone!
2) (and the most important) even if it was possible, windows mobile isnt open source, none of us own a licence for windows phone 7, that would make it piracy and therefore illegal

Hold on a min folks!!
CountryMous3 asked a simple question wherther you think it stupid or not.
All you folk need to say is yes or no-go! There is absolutely no need to get all hotted up about someone asking what you feel is a stupid question.
Yes remind them of the search function, but hey were you born with the knowledge you now have??
@Daelyn
Are you suggesting the mods are not doing their job to your satisfaction? If the mods you talk about are to deal with noobs as harshly as you believe they should for failing to observe correct forum etiquette, then how much more should you and those who have treated a noobie as if they were a moron, be altogehter FORCEFULLY EJECTED from the site..knowledge and all! Y'all should know better!! It takes so-called 'stupid ' questions from a brave heart to carve new parts in uncharted territory!
Chew on that then flame me too if you must but you know you're all being unsavoury.

[Q] ...How Do I root it?

Maybe I'm blind, but I'm searching all over the dev forum for the incredible 2, there are no official links that explain how to root the phone. Please help, thank you.

I would think that if have been searching you would have read that there is no way to do a software root. You probably would have also read that you can buy an XTC clip to achieve S=Off.

Is this just temporary or will there be a way to software s-off? I'm sorry I have been searching and reading I just don't understand I'm a noob the original incredible was easy to do cause I used unrevoked

Again, if you had been reading, you might have come across a thread that discusses the software method of S=Off.

link me please?

to answer your question... no there is no software unlock yet. It is coming, it has been verified to work and has been done to a few testers.
there is no ETA.
if you need it now, buy an xtc clip and you can unlock it immediately.
lastly, this should be in general, not development.

thanks brah

Sit tight bro. Root will be here soon enough. Add the the thread to your favorites this way you can stay up to date on any news. As for being a noob don't let some of these cats intimidate you with there snooty replies. I'm sure they were never noobs.

There is life beyond the message board, you might want to have a look.

I understand that this is a matter of semantics, but the I2 was rooted long ago...with software. What we're lacking is an unlock to allow root to be permanent (persistent through reboots). You can root now and gain many of the benefits (and problems) of root if you really want to without paying a dime.
Now if you want to use custom firmwares, that requires unlocking. This can be done with a piece of hardware that is available now, or a piece of software that everyone is still waiting on.

I have done some searching and have found two possible routes. One is AlpharevX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132920&page=40) and the other is with the Rebel XTC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156534&page=5).
The sites are http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/, and http://www.xtcclip.com/.
AlphaRev is still beta though they claim no bricks reported so far. Since it is Beta you are supposed to interactively get a Beta key from their site to activate the software. This key is generated only if it 'likes' the serial number. The latter by the looks of it is a hardware tool which loads on your sd-card. If you go the alpha route then you must manually download and install the viow version of CWM! Still waiting for Unrevoked!

[Q] Unlocking HTC Wildfire S (Sim Free) HELP

Hi, I have been looking for this thread but I haven't found it, can anyone help me? how can I unlock HTC Wildfire S? (in a free way of course)
thanks

You haven't seen the many, many threads of people asking the same question?
The answer is always the same:
You need to either buy a XTC Clip or go to a phone unlocking shop that uses XTC Clips.

Hi there.
I have been looking for the exact same answer. I bought my HTC in the Netherlands and need to put in a sim card from Germany. I even bought an unlocking code from the official HTC website but they were useless, the code didn't work and they didn't respond to any of my emails. There are so many reviews with people thanking the company for unlocking the phone and their great service. I didn't experience either of these services and don't understand what I am doing wrong. I am no a techno genius and everyone is quick to say it works but no one explains to people like me the simple steps.
I have heard about the clip and will give it a try. Hopefully this will work. I will report back on the results.

ATTENTION NEWBIES!! READ THIS POST COMPLETELY
Seems like you are new to Vbulliten forums.....if you are not,let me remind you
There are some topics in the threads called stickies......they are the first topics you see and always remain the first ones....In the Wildfire S General section there is a topic named Frequently Asked Questions.....first check that out first and then post.....
It is for the better because it will save you from being getting shouted/abused at....
And to be strictly clear....
1.S-OFF/UNLOCKING- CAN BE DONE ONLY WITH XTC-CLIP(CAN BE BOUGHT ONLINE)
2.UNLOCK WITHOUT AN XTC-CLIP IS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS.....MANY OF THE DEVS ARE WORKING ON IT
3.READ THE F.A.Q. BEFORE POSTING
4.MANY PEOPLE ARE HERE FOR A LONG TIME AND HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS THREADS LIKE THIS.....SO PLEASE......TAKE SOMETIME FROM YOUR BUSY LIVES AND LOOK AROUND BEFORE POSTING TO AVOID ANY HARSH LANGUAGE ON YOU

The XTC clip sim unlocks as well? I might be getting one soon, so I'm just wondering.

The XTC-CLIP unlocks EVERYTHING.....that includes radio,bootloader & simlock

clip is NOT the ONLY way to unlock a wildfire s.. i've just unlocked one with a riffbox.. granted that not everybody has this box but stating that a particular method is the only way leads to confusion.. i'm also pretty sure that the guys on this forum will eventually pull a free unlock app out of the bag at some point as there are some pretty hardcore tinkerers on here..

Love how all the big brains say "search before post"
Some of us have busy lives and done play WOW in moms basement 24/7. What people like us do however is actually donatate to xda because rather than searching first we were making a living. Linux/android as I see it along with the awesome developers and contributers at xda is the only hope for our rights as consumers not to get abused in the future by apple and Microsoft.
I have learned so much here, but could have used a little less from the "find it cause I did" crowd.
I'm not trying to insult folks, just appealing to them to be more understanding to the PEBCAK crowd ( problem exists between chair and keyboard).
We don't need them buying iPhone's out of frustration. Cut and paste a link and pm it, easier and moves mission forward.
Lawyers from apple are preparing for final assault and with back room deals and hundreds of lobbyists looks like they got a chance to enslave us once again. Especially now after apple vs HTC ruling.
Since I found xda:
Realized the business phone systems my company sells from multiple manufacturers are all Linux and asterisk based and probably bound to open licence agreement's which never get enforced
My 4 and 6 yo are learning Linux with me now.
I tell everyone not to be afraid of the terms used, its easy if you can read and pay attention. Words like root, kernal, bootloader locked or not, dba, cmod.... list goes on forever and can be intimidating.
So us noobs will give cash to those that will serve us info we need, we go out w friends and joke how even a noob can do it with ease..... well you get how it can snowball.
Maybe I'm over sensitive today about latest ruling, and the way it stinks of deception, but it means alot to me.
My kids friend doesn't have internet cause parents can't afford it. Chances are that child won't do as well as mine simply because playing field isn't even. Why because of comcast lobbyists keep low cost internet from them through bribes done right in open.
Its all around us now, we need our devs, the accountants, housewives, and even long winded folks like myself.
Hope apple lawyers get aids from the tranny hookers they hired for the celebration of last ruling.
Peace and love to everyone else.
Ps: One last note to the "search for it" guys, I know this is the wrong thread! Go slam another code red and jack like a lab monkey to vids of chicks I actually can get. And my bots can beat up yours.

Where I do see your point in that well crafted reply I'm simply stating that not everyone is created equally.
An example would be me being able to search Google with faster with better results than most of my colleuges. Rather than use the "all capital shout" and make them feel stupid I would just forward the link to Google bolean algorithm tutorial.

already found it last night, after 20 minutes of manual searching each posts. I already did what you all said and suggested, even using google. everytime i searched it always show s-off without xtc clip, or wildfire, not wildfire s, so if you have a brain and think for a sec why would this dude ask for help, then maybe you would have found out that it was not easy to look for some specific answer to your question. Not one of you did even posted a link, which you were saying was easy to find.

you don't root using XTC clip, you S-off your phone with your XTC clip...
once you're S-Off you can root it using the tutorial you can find easily here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325730

here's a pictorial guide for xtc clip
For s-off with xtc clip... Lots of them out there... Here's one I found.
For rooting... I use an app called un-rooting from the market. It's quick, fast and allows you to unroot as well.
