WM6.5 - Will we have it on the Snap?

Are there any plans for this from HTC?
Will we be able to upgrade the rom?

Probably not from HTC.. but thats what XDA is for!
Once people start buying the Maple in the U.S. (its going to be on practically every carrier) then you won't have to worry about HTC's ROM updates.
I'm sure someone will cook up a great ROM for the Maple once the device becomes popular- and it will.

maybe u can help us find a stock rom.
i already sent out the word to NRZ..he's gonna look into it
and mbavarian already took interest in the device. he made a thread about it..check it out!

You never know. When the original Dash came out we got an official upgrade from WinMo 5 to 6 a few months later. Maybe they will do the same for the Dash 3G from 6.1 to 6.5. Talking about the T-Mobile versions of course.

I have an actual HTC Rep through my Sprint Sales rep here in the US. We'll name him DP. I have access to HTCChampions.com and have yet to find any indication of this, i've requested the information from DP himself, and hope to hear back soon.
*Edit:
I just received a call, he said the only phone slatted for the Windows Mobile 6.5 Upgrade that he's aware of is the TouchPro2. Truthfully it sounded like he didn't know himself, he stated that the version of Windows 6.5 only brought a second browser (Opera) to avoid the "Anti-Trust" issues Micro$oft has been facing. He said that he has spoke to Sprint Corp and they've decided to hold of till Windows 7 before making any large changes.
PS, he called back with the information, and i was unable to get it recorded
Believe what you will, but between the HTC Site and his comments the only versions of 6.5 will be those that are cooked here.

dont try so hard, it really isnt that serious..LOL!
and "HTCCHampions" is a great site but "wmpoweruser" gets the job done, ALWAYS
heres hard facts to show that we will be getting an upgrade sometime in the near future, aside from what we produce here on xda but an ACTUAL release.

Is there any tool or app could improve the touch feel for HD2 like iphone?

, anyone could help on this?

are you serious??
there are tweaks to decrease the sensibility of the touchscreen of HD2 Leo, 'cause in some cases it's too sensible!

I hate it when people say "Can you make it do x like iPhone".
Why does no-one ever ask if it can make coffee like my coffee maker? COS IT'S NOT A COFFEE MAKER!!! lol

Yes, it is called ,,Sell your HD2 and buy an iPhone App,, ... mainly you can find the cracked version over ebay (i won.t post it here ... no warez you know ... rules pff )

In fairness, if you explain your request, as it doesn't currently make any sense, you'll get some sensible responses that will probably help. Just give us some info.

Buy an Iphone......

If you mean improve by making it not too sensitive, there a cab ( not sure where ) that will make it less sensitive. Search for it.

sell yours and buy a iphone sorted

I'm not sure what he means, but I personally am quite frucstrated by HD2's screen responsiveness and accuracy.
Sometimes the screen behaves strangely, like it presses or slides all by itself. Not to mention that typing is a big problem. Is it only a "too-responsive" problem?

The best thing and actually the only thing that made the iPhone a success "NOT", was the capacitive screen.. If hTC/WinMo used this method before, there would be no iPhone since Capacitive screen really helps with the graphics movements and catches the eyes of the Lame iPhone huggers..
But i think its all written, hTC/WM were behind with the screen technology so that no loser would buy a kick ass WinMo device and fall for the incredibly overrated iPhone..

Rotary Dialer App

Is there any similar rotary dialer app for HD2? Kind of cool haven't used this kind of dial for at least 30 years!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anuZiwt_Bvg&feature=related

Isn't it funny you buy the latest technology only to make it sound and look like an old phone.
Pretty cool!!

And another vote from me for this app. Would love to see it too

Of course! Sell the HD2 and buy iPhone! I will never understand why people keeps on buying a REAL SERIOUS device (HD2) and want it to work like a status-simbol-toy (iPhone)...

There's already such an app for WinMo: Pocket Kai Old Phone.Net 1.2!
http://www.mobile2day.com/en/Kais-Old-Phone-Net/product_1082121_details.html
EDIT:
But it isn't so cool like this iPhone app, you can't rotate the rotary dialer by yourself!

so you want someones thread for a request closed because you and a few others think a certain app is not worthy of the great hd2......if this app doesnt interest you just move onto the next thread. some of us actually like fun/useless apps to mess about with now an again. really cant see the problem. thats all im gonna say, have a good day now.........

I don't know why lots of people on XDA Devs are such downers. He just asked for an interesting app and everyone comes and flames him because he's not "serious" enough or whatever the flying heck that means.
I've seriously seen some people asking for some help on the HD2 and when no one can help him, he gets criticized for being an iPhone sympathizer and turned away.
If some people want a rotary app you just say if you can help or turn away, don't leave a jerk comment, and close the thread. No need to be rude, witty or worse.

The iPhone has some great apps. It would be nice if they worked on the HD2. But they don't. But when people ask if there's a comparable app, I don't see a problem with it. I myself am one of your "Serious Users," and I wish there were more of the little fun apps for the HD2.
Serious users does not equal users who don't like fun little toy apps.

the funny thing is, i guess that no one would have been upset about this request/thread if there wasn't such an app for the iphone

Ok so here is the curveball i am not being obnoxious and i am sorry if i came across as such, i guess i just am a little sore as i guess many other people are that the windows market place is no where and probably never will be close to the App store, so it is just something i have come to accept. I may have bitten yesterday but it just seems to be so frequesnt people wanting the HD2 like the iphone which it will never be. I am always the first to jump at a new app and still am.

Android 2.2 on hd2

hi. how can we install the original Android 2.2 on this device?
thanks

you have to buy a DMC DeLorean, change some parts and drive 88 mph., if you set it right you might get into the future where you can download the android on windows mobile installer....

Yeah i know, people have been asking this for a long time now. But the thing is, if they wanted Android, i wonder why did they buy a HD2 in first place? haha
I, too, came from android, but I wanted to try winmo that's why i went with Hd2 instead of nexus one. Although i miss android, I don't think the Hd2 needs Android. I love it so far. just hoped sling player worked on it. otherwise, phone is great.
to the OP:
i would suggest looking into evo or something else, if u want android man. Don't hope everything can be ported these days. Porting a mobile OS is a pain in the you know what. And these devs who doesn't get paid to port, won't port it unless they really want to sacrifice precious time of their lives.

Its cause when I suggest HD2 being great hardware but the software is crap people just believe the hype... In my store we reset the phones at least 2 a week because it crashes...

ive buyed hd2 because of the good hardware. but i thik android its better than WM 6.5.
thanks

It's quite obvious that this thread is useless and against the rules.
To answer your question:
There is no Android available at all for the HD2 at this moment.
Please refer to the thread; remember to only post when necessary.
Next time, please make use of the Q&A section to get your question answered, and make sure to search first before asking.

ok thanks.

Android vs WM6.5 HD2
I will agree with everyone that Android Market vs WM Market has more free Apps. I will love to see more developers create apps for WM or create a cooked room for HD2 with The android App

hey if u really want android on your HD2 i would sell that HD2 to the highest bidder and switch to Sprint and buy the amazing EVO

[APP] Android finally has Pocket God!!!

I just found it this morning. Suck on this apple we can do Pocket God too!! Finally the android market is catching up to Iphone Market.
The game is supper buggy like all of the other apple to android apps.
Its also freaking massive without a to SD option. Which kinda sucks.
I played it for like 20 minutes and I noticed that every once in a while my islanders would spontaneously turn into massive random pixel boxes.
Oh and if you have a lower end phone good luck. My Evo ran this just fine but my old Hero was crazy slow. So snapdragon devices should be fine as far as I can tell.
I'm not trying to advertise I promise. I just wanted people to know what I found.

It is running against the non commercial, open philosophy of xda-developers.
But you are right, it is a good question. But a very difficult one. How do you keep a forum open for development, knowledge sharing etc. and at the same time allow commercial activities. Hard one. Think of Apple and Microsoft together on one forum "sharing" some knowledge and experience. You gonna love that.

@OP
If there was a free version, that would be ok. However, this is a paid app and as such, that is why appelflap called you on the non-commercial rules of XDA (namely Rules 7 and 11). I know that you posted without the intent of selling this, but rules are rules and we cannot allow commercial links in here. If the devs of the game feel like they can offer a free version (much like the good boys at Rovio did with Angry Birds), then they can bring it here. Until then, I will have to edit your first post to remove the market references. This will be left open for discussion purposes only.

Love it
I have been waiting for this to come to android before I even bought my phone lol.
it works great on my Incredible, no lag or F/Cs so far.

Force close on Galaxy S too. Not a lot of good if it isn't going to work on some of the best selling droid handsets but I'll wait for an update before passing judgement.
