Awesome work. Even though I like and used to Fedora, but the will be useful never the less.

To all people who are complaining, have you ever developed any thing? Do you know that HTC HD2 which a windows phone runs android smoothly now, and many people are using it instead of the built-in windows. Do you think it started like copy android from another phone, done! NO... It went through many baby steps where almost non of the phones functionally was there however, developers did not listen to people like you and kept working on it until they now have a fully working android system. Even the GPS on the device works better that my Vibrant!

So to all devs, please keep up the good work, it will never be useless.
[Vibrant Android Development] slc334:
This is all REALLY amazing! Keep up the good work people, I love to see things being pushed to the limit! Although this may not be super useful for me on my Galaxy S, I would love to have this on something like a Galaxy Tab!
[Vibrant Android Development] prudviraj:
yes i did.. still couldn't get it to work
[Vibrant Android Development] billydroid:
So I got this up and running and its seems quite good so far. But how do you toggle soft keyboard? I installed from the epic thread linked in the op. But the epic has a physical keyboard. I can't find an option to get it up.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Sorry to ressurect such an "old" topic but I've got to ask: Does this version of ubuntu (running on Vibrant) recognizes all the phone modules? Especially the phone's bluetooth and wifi modules.

I was thinking of running this via TV-out using my Logitech's Bluetooth KB effectively turning the phone into a mobile PC tower. By doing so I'd be able to turn every Monitor into a full fledged computer terminal - at will.

Ubuntu v9.0.4 runs my Logitech Keyboard no probl, I would expect this distro would as well, as long as it recognizes the phone's bluetooth module...
[Vibrant Android Development] agsded:
I'd like to see/expect to see, within the next year to two tops, a single device you carry in your pocket, like my fascinate, that runs a multipurpose os that I can dock with storage/display/keyboard/mouse at home or work and use as a computer, keep in my pocket on the go and use it as a small form factor device as my fascinate is now. Basically alleviating the need for multiple devices altogether. It'd be so neat to not have to move things back and forth between one device or the other, or have different application/os setups to maintain/deal with.

Apple isn't far off from this, if they implement a full blown osx implementation on their devices, say add hdmi or dvi out and a couple usb ports on ipad, they'll basically be there.

We're soooo close to this level of functionality now. Phones have 1ghz cpus and are pushing 1gb of RAM now, which is more than adequate to boot and actually use Windows XP, albeit not well suited for gaming/graphics, but still...the POTENTIAL is there.
[Vibrant Android Development] frozenfoxx:
It's called an N900: http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/
[Vibrant Android Development] agsded:
Yeah, that's not as powerful as my phone, and definitely not what I'm talking about..... pointless having a physical keyboard on the device... it makes it too cluncky and is practically useless for true touch typing
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
It's not 1GB of RAM, it's 256MB with 768MB of Virtual Memory, and only a 600mhz processor. Not quite...
[Vibrant Android Development] frozenfoxx:
Yeah, complete with the ability to do TV-out with reasonable resolution, BlueTooth for keyboard/mice interface devices, a complete Linux OS, and can even play Quake. There's almost no day-to-day tasks you cannot accomplish with it (and with some work you can probably cram some even larger applications onto it).

Yeah, actually, that *is* what you're thinking about, it just doesn't have epeen numbers.
[Vibrant Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Actually I believe we're already there. My (o/c'd) Vibrant runs Ubuntu without a hitch. I upscale the 480p signal through a box so I can make the resolution tolerable and voila I have a mini-tower carrying with me. Only downsides is that the (above) distro does not run natively on the ARM processor so things like flash cannot be installed, also the low resolution is a bit of a turn off.

But even if it is to be said that we're not there yet, we're a hair away. The new Tegra 2 machines have dual core processors, mini HDMI and I'm sure making them run a Native Linux distro won't be that hard. Those machines would *actually* be faster than certain Netbooks. In fact if the phones were carrying mini projectors next to their camera (like certain camcoders do), one would *also* carry the SCREEN with it/them.

So in a few months it would be technically possible to project an 720p full fledged OS whenever you need-it, wherever you go. Along with 3G connectivity Internet would be always on, everything will be at one's fingertips in ONE device. Micro-devices have gone far indeed...

edit: I have a 32GB sd installed on my Vibrant (48gigs total) making me have little to no disk constraints, that helps also for desktop use...

How related is this post over in the Nexus S section that just got noticed by PC World:

Looks like he actually boots a GUI as opposed to VNCing into one. Would this method work on our Vibrants?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
do we have fastboot?

:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] wajanus:
That's amazing. I'd love for that to work on the vibrant. I just saw the 2D Unity interface for netbooks surface. I think that'd be a great light-weight interface for the Vibrant (plus, Vibrant is as powerful as netbooks).

Also, I'd like to report back that my Ubuntu no longer boots on my phone. It worked fine last week (or whenever I made the post about it working) but now, it's completely dead and doesn't work (can't find chroot etc., regular bs).
[Vibrant Android Development] stew1411:
So I am trying to install this on my Galaxy Tab. There is a forum for it, and it just uses the same exact instructions as the Vibrant. I figured I would post here since this is the original post with the dev. I don't think the install is working. Here is the complete cmd screen from windows.

It looks as if it is messing up right when I type sh ./ubuntu.sh. So when I type bootlinux it fails since the install went wrong. Where am I going wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Going to try..
[HD2 General] kabuk1:
Since May, I've been having this persistent issue with my data not connecting. At least 5-10 times a day, I will have to either reset my phone, attempt to connect the data several times, or turn the radio off & on to get it to connect to data. I have flashed several different radios, the most current one being the 2.12.50.02.2 radio, all to no avail. Things will be fine for a while, but invariably I will start getting connection errors again.

Then, after trying Android, I noticed something- I got ZERO data errors while running Android. Same data speeds, same radio, etc. But NO errors until I booted back to WM, which leads me to believe that my ROM is the problem. I'm using the stock T-Mo 2.10 ROM, simply because I find it to be stable, quick, and perfect for my use(2.13 sucks). But it is apparently the cause of the data errors, so I'm going to flash something else tomorrow & see what happens. I'm not ready to make Android my full-time OS yet, not until it's perfected, so I'm gonna try the VBN ROM first since it's supposed to be good on battery.

Just thought I'd post, just to see if anyone else has noticed this.

P.S. can anyone recommend a good total backup program that can back up all my settings & reg edits & whatnot? I've tried Sashimi but it always crashes out when I try to backup my registry & settings.

ok so we all know that the htc leo has alot of cool features you can use on it and alot of its qaulity is unique. but unfortunatly it has lots of problems too. i so far has gotten 4 brand new htc hd2's and they all have bugs and problems within them like restarting by itself many times and freezes. tell me what u think?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
I love the phone. But I also have very few freezes and have never had the phone reset itself.

I've never had a defective phone. I think a lot of it is things we do to them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp-x1:
Same here. The only time I get lockups or slow-downs are after I install certain apps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
Same here..............

Had mine since November and the only problems have been ones that Ive caused through too much tweaking.....

And a problem with T Mobiles original stock rom but that was T Mobiles fault not the HD2.......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zivsal:
The HD2 is a wonderful machine that gives you best performance and wonderful features.

Especially when u compares it to competitive products or the price paid.

I have HD2 , T-8585, since January and never had any freeze or self restart.

All problems I had never cased from the HD2 itself. They cased from installing soft wares which sometimes do not work properly with other soft wares. That was easily recovered with the assistance of nice guys here.

Some problems occurred from defective accessories such as croppy cheap usb-micro cable.

The HD2 is wonderful machine that can be easily converted and modified according to your needs and imagination.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiL xSOULJAx:
Thanks for the great answers ! I think its just the T-Mobile Rom thats a complete piece of crap. Because I didnt even add anything or tweaked the first 2 phones i got and they still caused many problems within the first day no B/S. Another quick question dough, how much would it cost to buy and repair an htc hd2 LCD screen, because one of my phones screen cracked. Its not the glass outer part that broke but the inner screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert A:
I am agree with you all, it's a great phone fast-big screen-cool design, but....

It's worth to pay 450 euro for this phone now (AUG)?? I mean I can wait for the next generation (mabe hd3/NOV or DECEMBER) thaat will have more features like an S-AMOLED and mabe a hdmi cable, and all of that with +50 euro.

Do you know anything about new HTC phones that will be released and when, and it is worth to wait more??? Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontw:
I believe the hd2 is one of the best devices on the market. It's fast, it has wonderful features, and now it is capable of running more then one os. Even the stock winmo isn't bad if yu change the rom and don't care about downloading apps. I believe for tmo usa, the hd2 is hands down the best phone they have, other then the n1. And yes better then the samsung vibrant, which is supposed to b upgrade but doesn't even have a camera flash.my experience with samsung phones has been horrible. I don't even think froyo has been released for it. Even tho it's ported, I've been running froyo on my hd2 since late july. As for up coming phones, google htc vision aka g1 blaze. 1GHz processor, medium sized screen, slide out keyboard and android. Basically the first legit replacement for the original g1. Much better then that mediocre mytouch slide 3g. The choice is yours.personally I love my hd2, but yu might just want to wait alittle while longer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontw:
Btw the htc vision should b coming out before the years end. Also there is a rumored hd3 coming soon that is supposed to run wimo7. Decision, decisions lol best thing about the hd2, runs winmo 6.xx, runs linux, runs android, and most likely will run winmo7(I'm sure someone will figure out how to port it) what other phone can do that! Lol decisions decisions

i think its a Great phone, i love everything about it slim design customisation element big screen but unfortunately it does have its flaws eg battery life occasional freezing to name a few plus no further windows upgrade officially it looks like a dying breed imo but without the chefs on here this handset will be resurrected with android port coming through and presumably windows 7 the futures look good
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiL xSOULJAx:
I do love the phone alot and i do think its the best phone on the market but im just highly upset with its problems. My bad luck i guess hehe . I have another question dough.

What does the red or yellow dots on the back of the phone next to the battery on the lower left mean? I got a 3 phones with red dots but 1 with a yellos dot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
all that is a reset button. First it was red, then on the newer batch, it was changed to yellow.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enyaj:
For me, its the best windows phone I have ever used. Although if I was thinking of buying a new phone at this stage of the year, I think I would wait till around Oct-Nov or at least i'll wai for the first release of W7 and see if it is worth the wait. But the HD2's built I think is almost perfect(virtual keys at the bottom would have made it perfect for me).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiL xSOULJAx:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FenderGuy:
Coming from a google phone for the past 2 years and then going back to Windows I was amazed how easy it was to deal with the phone.

The issues are the same as the others freezing, lag, etc. I think its the stock ROM itself, but I wonder? Sometimes it acts like my old dash and when you have to close the tasks and use a program to clear up ram space, it annoys me.

I don't like the windows market place, in google certain programs are free, but in windows you have to pay to use features? F-that.

I awating till they perfect a andriod rom to be put in the HD2 with no issues.

The good points of the phone is that it syncs to my outlook with ease..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiL xSOULJAx:
So does this mean that no matter what rom i put into the phone, it will always be lagging and freezing as it normally would?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FenderGuy:
I wouldnt say that since most of the roms here seem to make it run better, but Windows mobile is crap compared to Linux.

The HD2 has the same features as my Andriod phone Google maps, You Tube, Google Browser, yet run like crap on the windows mobile phone. GPS take forever to lock on and the maps just has a differnet feel to it..Youtube runs differnet and the browser is crap

Does this phone really have a 1 ghz processor? It feels like my a phone is on 450ghz at times, again maybe window mobile requires too much?

I'm going to flash a rom on the phone since I am tired of the battery drain which is annoying
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
I have a Nexus One that I am in the process of selling since I like the Hd2 alot more.

The Hd2 does everything I could ever ask of a smartphone and more:

- Free turn by turn GPS directions

- Emulator gaming

- Word/Excel documents

- Bluetooth keyboard support (Android cant do this at all)

- Voice recorder

- Gorgeous 4.3' monster screen

- Tethering

I haven't had any problems with my Hd2 whatsoever. If anything Android gave me more problems than Windows Mobile. The only reason you hear about Android more is it's newer and the media want's to push it as hard as they do with Apple stuff for ratings...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enyaj:
I'm bored with my HD2. Because its working perfectly. I guess I need a new phone with lots of problems :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spireite_uk:
I love the phone. It's design is great, the screen is amazing and the hardware is beefy. What really makes the phone though is the community and chefs here at XDA. I lose count of the amount of times I have reflashed my phone. With different ROMS, experimenting and messing around. It's a great device if you like doing that. It makes you pity the iSheep followers, really..

However, my main 2 drawbacks are this: 1) The battery life is poor.. although that is understandable with the screen and hardware it's got to supply. 2) the fact that HTC have confirmed that they will not be supporting/supplying WinMo 7 for the device. However, I hold out hope that will not be a problem for the clever guys here at XDA :D.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiL xSOULJAx:

Id say the phone picks up traits from its owner. Sorry if yours turned out bad ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3PH:
Agreed. i love mine to the point where i have actally taken to ribbing all my friends that have an iPhone4 with the words "So is your phone really slow? oh, wait, yeah it is! Does it have a 1GHz processor or 576MB of ram. No! Unlucky, Loser!"

Seriously, though, i love the fact it is so customisable and so god damn fast. I love the fact that i can write cab files for it to make it faster or automatically configure it everytime i do an rom update. I love the fact that, at the end of the day, i paid the cash for the best device on the market and i'm not forced into using some piece of proprietry software just to get my apps installed, so i don't have to lug my laptop or pc around with me if i have to hard rest it (which is never). I also love that my windows mobile device offers direct and complete MS exchange 2003/2007/2010 intregration.

I love my phone!

If you hate yours then it's your loss and if you want to sell it, i know a bunch of iphone4 users that will kill to get a nearly new HD2 in there pockets for that price. It's just a shame you didn't have the commitment to learn something new and different.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enyaj:
I think for every WM phone(especially HD2) that is on sale, WM 6.5 or lower at least, there should be a disclaimer that writes something like "If you are STUPID, RUNAWAY from this phone because it can kill you". This is only for intelligent Beings.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuzibri:
I love my HD2 also very much. This device succeeded in surviving for more than 9 months now with me. Usually I trade my devices in after three or four months because I got bored with them or they had too many flaws. Certainly when I discovered Artemis ROM's, my HD2 is faster than ever with even more possibilities than Stock ROM and it's even more stable. So if you want to turn on the turbo of your HD2 and all of its capabilities, try our Artemis ROM (now on version V32): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=612580.

Has anyone got one of the cases Samsung is offering on there site?

Apparently I'm too new to post a URL here, but basically if you go to Samsung's website and look at their accessories for the Vibrant you can see them.

Just wondering if they were worth the hefty price tag. Also would be nice to have one that didn't cover the volume and lock buttons like the gel case that tmo sells does.
[Vibrant Accessories] biggahboy:
Nah I think they are too expensive and besides they are gel and will probably stick in your pocket. I went with a rubberized, plastic cover from ebay..

If im understanding you correctly you have to reinstall the app , do the setup and then when you are ready to uninstall the app . Go back into Juice Defender and disable the app from its setting then uninstall . I ran into a similar issue when I tried it out . I got a whopping 1.16 battery life ROFL . Personally I think it drained more battery then it saved but thats just my own opinion.
