[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxawesome:
Ok, in that case, what about dual-booting an Android phone to run WinMo 6.5?

I've seen articles on some bootloader that will let you dual boot WinMo 6.5 and Android from a WinMo phone. Is it possible to do the same on an Android handset?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meltus:
It's a hell of a lot easier to port Android to a WinMo phone due to the fact that it's open source (hell, it's even been ported to iphone).

Getting any version of WinMo ported to Android would probably be possible, but incredibly difficult.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxawesome:
Ah, good point I hadn't thought of. I guess I just figured that even though WinMo isn't open source, enough of the hardware is common between devices these days so that drivers baked into WinMo would just work. Showing my novice, obviously.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sui Generis:
I own a Samsung Galaxy SII T-989 and, because I come from the "Windows" side rather than Linux or Apple, I would like to be able to completely wipe out the Gingerbred ROM that came with the phone and install a "cooked" ROM based on Windows Mobile 7 or, at least Windows Mobile 6.5.

I am hoping that, all those great developers connected to this site and spending so much time on cooking roms and rooting android phones, maybe one day they would look into this project that will become, I am sure, the greatest challenge, the pinnacle of all great things ever accomplished and recorded on this amazing forum.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I'm sure that nobody will bother:

1) It's going to prove VERY complicated, to say the least. Without "inside job" with the drivers, just plain impossible.

2) It's useless. If you're after Windows Phone 7 phones - just go and buy yourself one. Installing Android on it will be much easier than the other way around, and most probably it was already done.

Because of both of the points, it won't happen. There are reasonable challenges, and there are oh-so-stupid ones. And people mostly have lives. So if I were you, I wouldn't hold on to the hope, and would just go out and buy WinPhone 7.

Specifically for point 1: Microsoft certifies all the HW that is licensed to work with their OS, and all the drivers are made ONLY for this HW, and not for anything else. VERY CPU- and board-specific. Seeing that you have a Samsung phone, which doesn't have this HW or anything like it, I'd say that the chances of hell freezing over are higher than your phone getting Win7 port. Well, at least until your specific CPU (which happens, unlike most other SGS2 ones, to be of the "right" brand for Win7 phones) and phone motherboard (which might never become a base for Win7 phone) gets certified and has drivers done for it - happens only if exactly the same base will be used for Win7 phone - and Microsoft outsourcing them. I'd bet my money on hell freezing over :)

Basically i desided i would give the Rom manger and Clock Work Recovery a try, So i downloaded the App from the market and installed it then used it to flash the recovery. However now when i try to boot into recovery it just hangs at the Vodafone Screen at boot up.

I tried to reflash RA Recovery however if i do it within the Rom Manager it does the same and hangs when trying to boot to recovery mode. I tried flashing it by the terminal but that did work either.

So does anyone know what i should do!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
try flashing via fastboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] devwithzachary:
how do i use fastboot? when i boot to fast boot the only options i have are

HBoot Mode

Reset device

Restart to HBoot

Power down
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] devwithzachary:
OK i tried flashing using fastboot but i got an error 'FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)'
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jonahchavarria:
same problem

i got the saame problem as youu!

Damn rom manager killd my recovery , not even the clockwork recovery will boot up! which sucks because now im stuck on superbad 1.3, i want to go back to cynagoen !!!:mad:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] devwithzachary:
I have been able to fix my problem hope this helps for you to!

i downloaded Amon_RA's recovery and trying installing using the terminal method. I got memory errors saying i was out of memory etc. so i turned SWAP on with 128mb and then swappyness to 60 an tried again, and this time it worked!

Couldnt be complete luck but i would give it a try if i was you
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Jimmy Conley:
What worked for me.

I had this same problem. I spent hours and hours trying everything under the sun. This happened to me on Cyanogen 5.0.7 DStest7. I notice a lot of people on the cyanogen forum claiming that's what they use. I purchased the pro version and installed clockwork recovery through the app. I tried a lot of things and they all failed. I tried droid explorer exe to flash the recovery, fastboot method, I tried reflashing clockwork, terminal with and with out memory managers running. Finally, I tried flashing the Amon 1.6.2 recovery 3 times in a row with the clockwork app. I did a reboot every time. The last one took and I uninstalled clockwork. I'll probably never change it. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pixelkiller:
it has only killed your recovery because you selected the wrong option, you must flash the first option (Ion/MyTouch 3G) this is the version for the vodafone 32B handset

I was also frustrated when i chose the HTC Magic option and it hanging on the red voda splash screen

Hope i helped
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] fahad123:
please somebody helps me with the recovery as well..

im using motorola milestone..

i rooted my phone using UNIVERSAL ANDROOT.. the rooting went fine... plus flashing the clockwork recovery via rom manager went fine.. but everytime i reboot into recovery the recovery triangle logo just blinks for a second and my phone reboots and comes back normally to the homescreen.. how to ablolish this problem?

Best Regards.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
I too am experiencing this problem. Flashed CWM Recovery today, then later flashed amon ra. Got into amon ra and successfully did a nand backup, then left it for a few hours. Just now tried to boot into recovery and got the oem android recovery 2e. Wtf is that about??
[HD2 General] MikeASU09:
This is for those who don't feel comfortable upgrading to a cooked ROM and want to preserve their warranties. If this has been mentioned, mods, feel free to delete thread.

So when Swype is used to create text messages, it needs all messages from that contact to load prior to being used. Any contact conversation that has over ~100 texts (inbound/outbound) will require a dumb amount of time to load prior to you using Swype. I absolutely love Swype and all qwerty methods of input seem ancient and insufficient after using it.

So, since I realized the loading of messages was the culprit, I simply switched over to traditional mode. When you receive a text, click the messaging home screen tab, go "All Messages", "Menu", "Settings" and choose "Traditional Mode". I'm sure many of you are aware that it exists and have been using it. So, when replying, I tap the messaging home screen tab, go to "All Messages", "Inbox", tap on the new text, "Menu" and "Reply". This allows Swype to only load that specific text, eliminating the lag or wait time typically needed in "Conversational Mode". I am now using Swype with contacts who have +1,000 messages with zero lag.

This may seem like a few extra steps just to reply to a text, but ultimately, it comes down to what you want out of it. I tend to be a rather lengthy text messenger and can fly with Swype, so the time it takes to navigate to a reply is far less than the time it would take to type out a message using an input method other than Swype.

This thread is only for those who are waiting for a firmware/Sense UI fix from HTC TMOUS and I don't deem this any type of permanent solution. I apologize if this has already been mentioned and if so, as previously stated, mods please delete/lock. Hopefully this sheds some relief to those of you irritated with Swype and the fact that it takes so long to load in "Conversational Mode".
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
If you want to keep conversation mode.

When you go to your messages and it is starting load, quickly hit send then say no to sending a blank sms message. Amazingly it has been completely loaded.
[HD2 General] MikeASU09:
Hmm. I have heard of that method as well, but didn't seem to work for me. Hopefully others will find either way useful.
[HD2 General] admfrlnd55:
It works for me but I've noticed that the more messages you have in a thread, you have to do it more than once to get all the texts to load. I just really hate the traditional mode. What I really dont get is if we have a workaround for this then why cant the app do it automaticaly?! Maybe someone can or already did discover a reg tweak to change this! Time to search the forums!!
[Desire General] harryc88:
how is the battery life compared to the nexus one??
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Never owned a Nexus One, but according to the statistics...

Both use similar 1400 mAH capactity batteries, the Desire's battery may have a longer stand-by time (340 vs. 290 hours), and the Nexus One in terms of talk time, has 10 hours on 2G versus 6 hours and 40 minutes on the HTC device.

It also depends on general usage of the phone aswell.
[XPERIA X10 General] bronsonb:
I know most will think this is a stupid question probably because it is lol, but the x10 is my first android phone, of which I love coming from the HTC diamond, but what does 'rooting' mean? Is it like jailbreaking an iPhone or is it much more difficult? Thanks :-)

Just wanted to say thanks to all the great Chefs (mkucuksari, yozgatg, duttythroy, shaks1979, panosha, tomal to name a few) who have cooked so many great ROMS and helped me stay sane when fighting against the pig that is Windows Mobile over the last years via my SPV, Exec and Diamond phones.

If you have the chance to get the Desire just do it as the difference between the Diamond and the Desire and especially Windows Mobile and Android (Apps, modern interface etc) is like night and day.

Also with 12 month deals here in the UK including 300 mins, 3000 texts and inclusive internet e.g. http://google-phonedeals.com/buy/HTC-Desire/ there is no reason to keep fighting the losing battle that is putting up with Windows Mobile.

Anyways Adios, Auf Wiedersen, Au Revoir and hopefully see some of you on the other side :)

You must be using Haret to run Android. Haret reboots your phone into Android, which is on your SD card. It won't replace your Windows Mobile installation, cause it doesn't touch your NAND memory.

If you want Android permanently you'll have to flash your NAND.

Do this to mount it in windooze:

1. Boot into android, when the press central dpad to enter the installer or similar, do so.

2. Select recovery mode.

3. WHen it say press ok to exit recovery mode, plug the usb cable in.

4. Press ok, exit and let it boot.

After a while, the android phone will mount.

For SD Card Mounting, PM me for the link to the file(its warez). About GPS and wifi, you have to use a compatible build such as warm donut, super eclair, cm 5.0.7 test 3 port and SUper Hero that have wifi built in or as a wifi update.

Hey bro,

You got some nice screen shots.

Could you tell me what cab you use to get the clock/battery combo? I use Dutty's ROM and I would like to remove the clock from the right corner of the taskbar, and get the clock/battery combo. That looks nice.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
I use battclock, here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=612083

It is great (especially since it is freeware!) but just a heads up, the battery and clock has a solid background color (not transparent). So if you have a fancy taskbar background with glossy effect or something, the battclock cannot blend in. Also, the lines that you see is part of the battclock cab. The colors can be modified to match your theme if you don't like the default R, Y, G colors.

The dreaded message for not much space left. I've recently been testing out a few apps to suit my needs. And I've bumped into the message that shows the limitations of the eminently custmisable Android. And I haven't even downloaded one game!!!

I'm really hoping Froyo 2.2 (if that is what it will be called) will sort this out.

Pleeeeeeeease Google. Do us all a favour. Give us some room to maneuver.

I hope it gets sorted soon too. But as has been mentioned previously, HTC could have easily put 4-8gb onboard, plenty of space to install apps.
[Desire General] Phil750123:
Google are adressing the issue, just have no idea when!
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Re: Oh boy. "Phone storage space is getting low." Google, please sort it out.

Interestingly, I was thinking that the manufacturers of Android devices must know something because all the current crop of high end devices don't really have more than 1gig of memory. RAM or ROM. The Incredible being the exception. This was more nailed home when the Dell future devices (Thunder, Lightning, Flash, etc) came on the news feeds. The devices had no more on board memory than what we have now. And they are scheduled for release in 2011!

We all know Google is aware of tje issue. But what and when they are going to do is anyones guess. Amd why manufactures haven't been releasing devices with increasing on biard memory is perhaps telling.

I thought it was a battery life issue? that larger on board storage tended to lead to battery life being very short. What they need is a secure version of app2sd that's official and doesn't lead to piracy. Hopefully 2.2 will contain this.
