I have seen they are working on this on a few different sites. Does anyone here no anything about it yet? I figure if anyone is going to do it, it woll be someone here..Here is a link of someone doing it on a mda 3.

From what I understood of what I read, it's technically not running it on a smartphone. You run a VNC Viewer on your phone (normally, VNC is software used to remotely control your PC), then setup your PC to feed the Android display to your phone.
So what's basically happening is Android runs in an emulator on your PC, but shows up on your phone.
Because of the nature of the VNC, however, this makes for a very slowly system and means you really can't make phone calls using it.
Oh...is that what they are doing there? I guess I didn't read closely enough. Thanks for the update. I was hoping to flash my Wizard with some mystical android rom at some point....I know............. I'm dreaming......but it would be cool..

Agree... it would be cool. In the mean time, if you haven't already, check out PointUI. I expect it to progress into something really sick (it's pretty cool already).
Oh it'll most likely happen sooner or later...especially considering HTC is planning to release an Android device, which means possibly similar hardware, but it's still too early...

Not sure if this thread is up yet but reports all over the web saying that
T-Mobile has delayed the release of the 1.5 Cupcake until June.
What a bummer!
Fresh as a Foghat concert.
Or a Clueless quote.
Why is this such surprise? It's been delayed for how long now?
Yup been reading about it. Delayed again.

About a week, right? Or are you referring to the numerous rumors on random unofficial blogs? T-mobile US officially announced it and then said it would be delayed about a week. I would say its not that long of a wait.

I am sure I am thinking about the rumors. However, it seems like there is always some delay.

With software you can never be 100% sure it will be on time. Most companies would rather delay the launch of software then put out a buggy one. Besides why are we complaining here, we have had cupcake for a while now.
I guess I should have added some sarcasm tags ( /sarcasm ) to my first post.

1.5 cupcake is old news. Where's my Hero cupcake?!
I guess I'm glad I wiped my phone and went JF 1.5 last night. It wasn't my plan to, but the no wipe upgrade to 1.42 didn't work. unionfs app2sd seems ok, knock on wood.

Stop with the cupcake threads. You don't need to create a new one for each hissy fit you have.
I haven't posted a question thread in a while, but I think the time has come again xD
1. Is there a Window's Mobile ROM for the HTC Dream? I don't really care for android, even though I would probably use it for a bit.
2. Is the Touch Pro 2 available from any carriers in the US?
3. Is there any kind of development of a custom ROM for the Samsung Eternity, or is there an update coming out in the near future. My wife has one, stopped using it for a while until she broke her iPhone (water damaged like CRAZY), and is now using it again.
4. ...I thought I had more, but I guess I'll ask more later.

I was wondering these few days that whether HTC or Google itself will release Enclair for our Magics or not. Seriously, i was so excited after i watch the google nav beta vid. Enclair seem to work flawlessly. what do you all think about?
I'm excited for one.
I think before we see custom ROM's on 2.0 HTC has to release their own so dev's can start working.

You do know google navigator will only work for the US right?

Nah, only at first.
As time goes by and the maps have been re-written, they will come out everywhere else also.
What good is US-only navigation on a cell phone? No good if you ask me.
oh that's a shame I didnt' realise it wasn't available outside of USA...... same with Google Voice :*(

agreed what he said, whats the point if the service is only meant for the US? what about other countries?

Must be the next update Enclair

why is this thread not locked yet
Guys,
why there are no 2.0 unofficial ROM yet?
I remember long time before 1.5 was released for common users, It was possible to compile and install it from source.

Google hasn't released their source and the devs are hard at work trying to fix the million bugs while porting it. Fix one, 5 more appear.
yeah, we still need to wait for the original htc source b4 we can do anything stupid

I've thought that Motorola (which was released last Friday) supposed to have the 2.0. So why google still hiding the sources?

with as much as vz has been advertising its the first phone with android 2.0, im sure they paid a good amt. of money to keep it on lock. follow some of the devs on twitter, you will be able to get a good understanding of how its going. thats for eclair at least..........

It's already begun. This is a Desire HD. There is plenty already available, including CM7.
what doesnt work on cm7 for it?
Well the thing is, we have to wait n see what bootloader it has, if it the old one or the one that we can downgrade, then we can root, and if we can root, ummm im pretty positive we can flash any rom from the Desire HD rom section.

I already have a root procedure in mind that I think will work. The HBOOT doesn't matter - the exploit in the newer HTC devices was not in the HBOOT. But the radio version does.

I take it you will be laying down the aria to play with your new Inspire?

Momentarily. The Aria will still need support for CM. I'm it. This device is established and has good support already. We just need to document the procedure to root and get custom recovery on it, which will be a little more complex than the Euro DHD.
regoice, the great and mighty attn1 has come to the inspire, not sure if its a good thing or not as i still am using my aria but.... oh well.
I will have this phone when it comes out on the 13th, looking forward to some modding. I'm coming from an iphone, JB, customized etc, it's no longer any fun. Hope the roms work and the root is easily attainable, I will be back in here when i get the phone....5 days
I will be getting one of these on launch, though I'm not sure if stores are going to have the phone for a more expensive price than what's shown online. I'm coming from an HTC Fuze and this will be a big improvement for me....now I'll have a nice shiny new gadget to sleep with.
I'm hoping that by some stroke of luck I'll get one that allows sideloading but if not, there are ways around that....I don't like my devices being locked in any way. How long does it generally take to root new phones when they're out? I'm new to Android (been a WM person for quite a few years now) so I'm still trying to read as much as I possibly can about the OS and how it works.

I was a WM user for a long time as well.
Once I owned Android Id never go back to anything else.
The complexity of rooting is dependent on the device.
Some phones are rooted even before launch day, hahaha.

Also a long time WM user, first Raphael, currently Rhodium. I love HTC devices.
Looking forward to getting the Inspire as well, really thinking that I'll get one at launch. From all indication this should be very similar to DHD. Hopefully the device will be rooted very quick.
I seriously hope we have a root on launch day lol, i mean stock sense is ok but I can only deal w it for so long.

Thanks for the information! Yeah I'm looking forward to this Sunday - I'm probably going to just go in the store when it opens and grab one up then waste the ENTIRE DAY tinkering with it and giggling like a baby with candy.
One thing I didn't see in those articles was the radio firmware for the phone. I've installed and tested... quite a few radios on my Fuze in order to achieve the best possible phone and GPS signal I can get. Is this possible once the phone is rooted?

Looks like the Canadian version from the carrier Telus launched today. From what I've read we should be able to flash that modems soft/firmware and get the full advantage of functioning hsupa. I also will be wasting my entire day in tinkertown lol.

All signs point to yes, undoubtedly we are going to blow this Inspire 4G up with root goodness, then once we get a custom recovery BAM! custom roms are soon to come after that. Overclocking the phone will yield results similar to Dual Core devices as posted by me in another thread.
The real power of this phone will shine brightly after all the above

As rwon said our Canadian friends have the Inspire / Desire HD now too, the dev ezterry that brought and continues to provide so much to the HTC Dream / G1 community is from there so the talent is definitely of high caliber up north from us.
The MotoDur Atrix to me is seeming to be a bad product already and it hasn't even launched yet, hahaha
So is it safe to go buy the dhd right now? Think there will be root forthe telus desire hd? I can get contract price out of contract today
