Being a complete noob in the smartphone arena, I would like to know what ROM's? are compatible with my phone.
I was parusing the site and ran this one (see link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380991&highlight=pantech
Is this compatible with my pantech duo c810?
If not, how about pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks
Unfortunately, none of the ROMs you'll find here will work on the Pantech C810, or any Pantech phone for that matter. Problem is, they havent found a way to allow the phone to load any ROMs other than the ones that come from either Pantech or AT&T. What you can do is customize the hell outa the phone by hand, but it isn't easy. Hopefully, someone will find out how to bust open the phone and we can have our way with the ROMs, but until then, its hand fixes for those of us who still have too much student loan debt to afford awesome phones.
I bought this phone for my sister a few months back thinking that I would have been able to tweak it like i do my kaiser. Hope they finally do crack this thing, its actually a pretty kickass phone. Dont be ashamed, its still better than a razr...
In your opinion (keep it short please) what is the difference between win mobile and android and pros and cons please?
Thanks
George
Android pros:
Open source
Huge market proliferation (ensuring compatability and development)
Huge app market
Stable faster linux kernel
Winmobile pro:
More compatable with windows
Wifi router (until froyo)

I have 2 Windows phones and 2 Android phones and I can't think of a single thing the Windows phones do better than the Android phones.
Well, when I got my phone at T mobile today (I was tired of att and verizon, long story..) I asked for an android phone and I get home and see it's a windows phone...?
Mind you, I'm not surprised considering they didn't even know what GSM is when I asked if t mobile was gsm.
I LIKE the fact that it acts as a hot spot so what is FROYO?
I also thing I'l like droid better so here's the question, do they make the HD2 for android and is it available for t mobile?
Also, the navigation on the windows hd2 I have seems totally retarded...
Yes, the droid (I had the 8183) was much better.
Does it mean I liked the 8183? Nope and whoever the idiot is that wrote the software that only lets you use a FRACTION of the big a$$ screen to display info, phone numbers, names and such should be shot, SLOWLY!
You guys have NO idea how many countless hours I've spent in frustration, trying to find a way to SEE things on the screen with my $hitty eyesight and all because some moron is too stupid to figure out that MAYBE they should start with making the BASICS work on the phone.
You know, kinda like the iPhone. It was great, EXCEPT at being a friggin' PHONE! Let's see, iPHONE, what part of phone didn't you understand?
Sadly enough, ALL these idiots make more money at what they do than I do
Thanks

Well, I loved MyPhone on Windows Mobile. And I just have my Android for 3 days, but I haven't found something as good and for free yet.
Next to that, I can't think of anything I missed yet. Even eBuddy managed to easily fulfill my needs of MSN/WLM. Even with offline messaging.
There are two things i don't like about android:
First, there isn't only one good videoplayer(ffmpeg is a must have!) EDIT: Rockplayer is a nice start, but the fps is ~100% lower than the ones i get with coreplayer
And i havent found something like Audiobooster.
Try both and take the OS which you prefer
Android Cons:
None
Windows Mobile Cons (based on my experience with 6.1 Buisness):
Too hard to install games and apps
Not enough games and apps
Not user friendly
Too slow response
Android pros:
huge application
Google serious to maintain the android development
Android Cons:
No Wifi proxy support
hard to copy paste beetwen app
Winmobile cons:
too late microsoft your windows mobile is dying. your development team is slow
Old win 6.5 kernel..
windows phone 7 is too late to release...your market app is not working...
all developer moving to another platform
No multitasking support for windows 7...thats shame
Search for rockbase player for videos. Funambol or mybackup pro for closest to myphone off the top of my head.

there's a lot of things to look at but the best way to choose is this.
if you are running an app and it has issues or require a bit of memory, window will lock up and then you have to reset the phone.
with android you'll get a force close notification which you just ok it and keep using it with out having to reset.
Android FTW
Android:
Fast
User friendly
great multitasking
many apps and great games
works better on slow phones
user driven market
WM:
horrible performance, only WM phone with good performance is the hd2
bad multitasking, but happily arkswitch makes it easier
almost no 3d games, marketplace is not worth a ****
OK, As a windows Fanboy turned android here is the main thing Windows does better than android: Multimedia!!
Android is still new to the game and in my opinion hasn't really got a good video and music player. There are some ones that can pass but compared to Windows and iphone they are not that great. On the flip side I plan on developing my own music player which counts for the openness of android. WinMo is arguably just as open BUT with them going a different direction with WM7 I had to jump ship. As for Androids advantages......everything else is just as good if not better than windows (except how they manage the SD card)
Well, the few minutes I've spent with the windows platform already makes me hate it. Whoever did the software for the HD2 is totally retarded. I couldn't even get myself out of whatever app happened to come on last night and I was about ready to throw this big piece of $hit out the window.
I now know what Froyo is and if I'm not mistaken, it'll have a wifi proxy which I guess it to be is that it acts like a hot spot which should put a damper on some of the greedy phone companies (IF it is released on their phones) like ATT who charges you another 30 bucks extra for connecting to your laptop.
That to me is bull**** and greed and IS costing them customers.
Verizon is better with that but I hate their support AND I think their coverage in my area is worse. The support is TOTALLY useless and I left them once because of it and I will AGAIN leave them I think and yes, mainly because of it.
I'll try the t mobile service out for a week or so and if the coverage is good, I'll return this locked piece of $hit and get me one of the unlocked phones from NEgri Electronics. If anyone hasn't heard of them yet (which kinda would surprise me) here they are...
I mean, seriously, in order NOT to pay the full price at t mobile, I have to sign up for two years AND the phone is locked which means I can't use proggies like this one which I NEED! http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-pbxes-fontsize-BiEA.aspx
For a buck fitty (not fifty, fitty, like fitty cents) I can get this proggy which could fix my problem but I can't do it on a locked phone. Well, they can ki$$ my ass then with all the restrictions. I'll get this one for example http://negrielectronics.com/touch-smartphone-unlocked-tmobile-2747.html , get me a monthly account instead and I can put anything I want on it. Now how the hell can I go wrong with that, AND, they're easier to sell should you want to get rid of them.
Put some of this stuff on it and some silicone case on it and you can sell it years later looking brand new which is what I did with my iPhone.
I'm going to wait for a week or so and decide if I like tmobile and if I do, I'll tell verizon where they can stick their phone.
Would you believe I had to make THREE attempts to get them to port my att number over and meanwhile, I'm paying ATT for the account. I even called and talked to VERIZON people to make sure it got done right and in BOTH cases, they screwed it up. I finally got it done the right IN The store, a WEEK after!
After all this crap AND a busted phone that was only two weeks old, I tried to get a free charging cable from one of the store manager, NOT a charger or the ac adapter thingie, just the stinkin' cable and he wouldn't even give me that. Now that is tacky and petty. Oh, the reason I wanted another cable was so I could keep one in the car cause that piece of $hit pre wouldn't hold a charge over 5-6 hours and let's not talk about TALKING time. This was a LITTLE talking and lots of stand by.
What a damn joke.
I like the pre platform and concept in general and I have several PDA's that are PALM but the PRE phone, they kinda dropped the ball on a little.
No on screen keyboard (now how hard is that to figure out), the actual keyboard should have been horizontal for size and the damn thing is a gas guzzler, AND, I don't see an option to keep the damn notifications from coming up and crowding your screen when you turn it on. Also, it's slow as $hit from when you click that you want the keypad till it finally opens up.
NO Predictive dialing and you can't get the beautiful HUGE clock to stay on top that I know of. Again, how hard is that to figure out? Does this take so long to program into the software? I mean, they almost went belly up. You'd think they had the TIME and STAFF to do things right. Sheesh!
Anyway, enough bitc*in'

That's not how business works. Any phone advertised on TV (like the Pre) is designed for general consumers (people who don't care about the things you're talking about). It would be a terrible business decision to spend more time and money incorporating things that 99% of their target market don't care about or don't even know they're missing. If you're posting on XDA you're probably a lot more tech savvy than the average consumer, thus phones marketed towards the average consumer won't have 100% of the features you request. I always like to buy phones that are rarer and not advertised, mainly because I like having stuff that other people don't have, but also because they usually end up being a cut above the rest of the phones on the market.
Thread moved to General.
If I were you guiri_too, and can afford it, I'd order the Nexus One unlocked and as soon as it arrives, root the thing, put Froyo on it (if I could find it) and take that winblows phone back to T-Mobile. I can't believe they gave you that after asking for an Android phone. That has to be one of the dumbest salesmen ever! Or if you want to stay with T-Mobile and happen to like Sense (Espresso Sense), pick up the the MyTouch Slide. It has a keyboard, MS Exchange support and is pretty snappy to boot (speaking of boot, it only takes about a minute from hitting the power button to making a call). If you need a more business-like phone, I would suggest the Sprint Evo 4G. It's the same size as the HD2, 4.3", but it's Android. The UI looks like the HD2 as well (Sense), but it's a lot quicker and more stable. A friend of mine picked this up after having the Sprint Hero, which he got after the TouchPro (winmo) and couldn't be happier.
As far as the original question, I can only give you an anecdote; when I got my G1, my wife had a Wing which she hated. After a few months of watching me play with my phone all the time, and her Wing being replaced twice, she bought hers and was instantly hooked. We have been android fans ever since. So the advantages of Android for me are awesome stability, openness and apps, of which you don't have to use the market for (unless you get an ATT android).
Let me try to address the replies in one window.
First as for being tech savvy, yeah, I guess I am and I've been around long enough to be picky, HOWEVER, my BASIC needs are a phone I can HEAR and SEE. How come Nextel have speakers that you can hear clear across the next state and this thing I got, the HD2 I can barely hear with the fans in the car running despite them telling me it was really loud...?
Sure, I want a lot of stuff but if you read through all my info, you'll see that some of the things i don't really care about like social networking, streaming video, mp3 player and much more. LARGE FONT! How the hell hard is that to figure out? I mean, for those here who program and considering it's even in very simple programs. IS IT THAT hard to have an option of making the font bigger?
To Heybob. Bob, the problem is that I can't try and see these phones live so to speak. ALL the phones at tmobile are dummies or at least the ones I'm interested in.
Second, to be quite honest and when I think about it, I am not sure if she did mention this one was windows but I DID tell her I prefered android. In any case, NOT knowing what GSM is or if tmobile was GSM is not something I can let slide, ESPECIALLY considering she was the manager...
Now, so far, my tmobile coverage has seemed good. Yes, the phone as in the UI is still totally retarded so the windows OS has got to go. More than likely when I return this, if I still like tmobile then, I'll get a phone from Negri that's unlocked and if I'm not mistaken, he HAS Froyo phones in stock. Hold, gonna call and check..yep, he's got Nexus One with Froyo ready to ship.
Tell'em George with the long wish list sent ya if you buy one. Not that I think I'll get any referrals but hey, it never hurts when it comes time to bug them about finding me the right phone.
Anyway, back to the phones. I do NOT like this windows UI so that one is out. I like that I have found a site with something like 80,000+ apps all in one place and although I'm not stingy, when you're TRYING apps and don't know if you'll like them or not, it helps if they're cheap or free. I got something on hte Pre I didn't like but hell ,I wasn't about to ask for a $1.50 refund.
Many of the windows apps were $15 or around there. I'm not paying it if I can't get a refund if I don't like the software and I AM picky with software too.
By the way, is there someone here that has a rooted android phone that wouldn't mind putting this font proggy on there (hell, I'll be happy to pay for it at only 2 bucks or something) and show me the different font size options? http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-pbxes-fontsize-BiEA.aspx
I WAS going to do that but as you know, I didn't get a droid phone
I showed this dude on the androlib forum this proggy. He gets it, his wife likes it (he got it for her) and now he's too busy to show me some screen captures. Thanks a lot
George
I've owned 4 different winmo phones and I can say that android leaves those respond FOOLS in the dust.
Android is more compatible with exchange server than windows mobile solution or blackberry.
Work gets done faster and I smile a lot more now.

Hi everyone. I have a 4 year old who keeps taking my phone and my kids (his older brother and sister) ipod touches. He uses them to play games and go on youtube. I've been looking online for a cheap tablet for him to have and on craigslist there are a few for sale in my area for anywhere from $75-$100. I want to know if anyone has any experience with these cheaper android tabs. There's one by Sylvania and some others that just say ePad.
Does anyone have any experience with these and if so, do you think it will be ok for a 4 year old? Keep in mind, it doesn't have to be anything special. Just something that can play youtube and games like angry birds.
Any information is appreciated.

Well you'd probably be best googling the models and seeing if they are real. I had a friend who got a fake off ebay. They work alright. Not great for myself. But if they are a proper tablet I don't see you having any problem as long as its not a scam haha

A scam on craigslist? Never.
Being serious though, I did do some searching on google and with the information I got it figured it would be better to come ask the experts. I really dont care about the software that's installed on these tabs as long as they can be rooted and/or have access to the android market. Its just more important to me that they run decently. They are not very expensive but it's still money and I would like to know what I'm getting into.

Hey,
I was recently setting up a home network for a co-worker and she "paid" me by giving me a White 7" Pandigital Novel "eReader". Its android based and from what I can tell it can be rooted and used as a low cost alternative to an Android tablet. They sell for as low as $100. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with my own since I just got a HTC Inspire 4G...
Guess I can try and hack it. I can let you know how well it takes being rooted.
Please do let me know. I would really appreciate it.
Sent from my MB860
Hey,
Sorry for the delay but I got a little busy with school. I was able to sit down for a bit with the White Pan digital Novel and I must say I was impressed. Due to the extremely low cost and decent spec of this machine it has gotten a lot of love from developers. Its extremely easy to flash ROM's for root access (just place .ZIP on SDCARD, remove internal SD, boot to recovery, and flash it). The guys over at Slatedroid even put Cyanogenmod 6.x on it.
I tested a number of ROM's but most had weird issues. The Slatedriod Cyanogenmod 6.x ROM actually only ran crisp (for now) in landscape mode. Its a bit too weak to play games from Android Market and that's assuming the the ROM you choose has a working Market (most don't by default). They used a mod called the non-ugly hack to fix this I think. Another issue with a lot of these ROM's involved the wifi going into a infinite loop, repeatedly turning itself on and off. Despite the fact that I love Cyanogenmon on my Optimus V, I had to find another full time ROM.
That's when I stumbled across an Eclair-based ROM ported from teh popular Cruz Reader. It was awesome. Smooth in all view modes and even video ran great on the thing. I haven't attempted to OC the device yet, but I would assume it would only make it better. This ROM is rooted of course, and had a working Android Market (and Cruz Market) installed from the start. With this ROM the device becomes a comparable tablet, far exceeding the value placed on its tag. Just use regular apps to manage the power usage and overclock it with Set CPU or something and you'll have quite a machine for $50 something .
A big downside is that for an "eReader" the battery life was horrid, a little better than an android phone (and that's even with the stock ROM). You are going to have to hack this thing to get any decent performance out of it as the stock ROM is laggy. The rooting worked for fixing a lot of these issues.
Em still a bit unfamiliar with the rules on posting links to other forums here, so I wont. Let me know if you have any questions on need the links and we'll set up some sort of arrangement.
Thanks for that info. Gives me a lot to consider. I may end up getting one of those units.

First off let me say that if there is a better place to ask this please let me know!
I want to create a portable android device and I am having a little bit of a hard time understanding what I am looking for/need.
What I am trying to do is create a "wearable phone" per-say. Think of the "Fallout" game's PIP BOY... but for android... and be a phone too (really important for it be a phone).
The ideal thing I'm looking for is a android compatible board that has the ability to be flashed (CDMA) for phone service (Ideally Verizon/Cricket). I would like to not buy a phone and tear it apart and use it... I would have already done that if that's what I wanted to do.
I have seen things like Allgo boards and I have also seen things like BeagleBoard that is android compatible and it has a lot of nice ports like ethernet and usb.
I would like options like bluetooth, wifi, cmda, audio out, low power consumption. Kinda basic things for a phone. It also has to be relatively small.
Some things that would be nice but not needed are options like video out, high capacity storage options (usb flash, sdhc card, or solid state), etc. I would possibly look into dual booting into Linux or Windows CE but thats not nowhere near important right now.
As I said if there is a better place to ask this please let me know! Thank you for your time.
it's hard to find one part at a time. it's also more expensive. it's going to get harder when you build your android OS.
you need to have a team. a big one.
The BeagleBoard and AllGo boards already have android support and kits so that shouldnt be too hard to put together for the android side of things.
I figured the phone would be the hardest part. Is there a way to put the phone part into something like a android device/"mini tablet"?
good. you found the hardware. but as i said: find a team.
you need the hardware to interact with the software (and software to interact with the hardware) more like building an app in android SDK. by that you need a programmer, with experience of building a mobile OS (MIUI is based on android 2.3, they made it from scratch). then make a screen size and a chassis, which is hard because you want it like a large digital watch.
find help in this forum. there are alot of devs you know
Phone + strap + superglue = winning??
Sent From My Fingers To Your Face.....
hiu115 thank you for your input. what i would really like to know is if there are resources to make it... team or not. I CAN get a team and CAN program if i need to. I am just at a loss for the phone hardware. The android part (hardware/software) is "easy"... the phone additive is illuding. I need a prototype for proof of concept. A lot of my work is done for me it seems.
if i get nothing else out of this thread I would like to know if it is possible to add (for that matter find and buy as well) hardware for the phone part. I would like CDMA. At least tell me if you know what the part name I am looking for is... and where to find it if possible too.
conantroutman you dont get a thanks... funny though... but not helpful ... that IS kinda the point though. (EDIT meh you get a thanks too i guess)
Will be watching this, I once was thinking about doing it, would be awesome, also if you can get hardware to a similar device which is out it would be easier on the sift ware side

Ah ha!!! I think I found a better way to ask and get the answer I'm looking for!
What makes a Android device a phone? (Don't say "that fact that it can make calls" I'm looking for the name of the part)
Is there a way to turn an Android device say either custom built or purchased tablet into a phone with like a 3g modem or similar. If so what is that thing I'm looking for!?!?!
I'm not sure if this is of anyhelp, but details of a Qualcom GSM/CDMA chipset
http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=145
Ok... if you want to build a custom android device, the first thing you need is a template... Start with a development board.
The beagleboard is a great board to work with, however it's large and you won't be able to use it other then a tablet on its own....
The KIT-S5PC110 deb board is a good one
People recommend PandaBoard over BeagleBoard as they are basically the same specs but the PandaBoard is dual core.
Here's a link to ARM Dev boards http://www.armdesigner.com/products.html
I do believe that if I were to select a kit for development currently, based on what I've seen out there, I'd go with a originboard. http://www.origenboard.org/
Now, the other thing you will need is to learn some asian language Here in the USA, we are falling behind on mobile technology. You will find more Asian language forums then you will english
Once you have played with the OS a bit, and figured out the specs, you will have a custom circuit board made. Basically for board manufacture, you will simply eliminate all the features you do not want on the dev board to make it smaller. Then you make the board with the remaining hardware. You can probly talk to the Origen guys to get one made. They make their hardware as open as possible, so they will give the specs to the manufacturer of your choosing. This is where it gets costly.
After the board is created, you will build a custom housing for your box. You can prototype these housings on a 3d printer like RepRap or MakerBot... This requires precise CAD drawings. Or you can source it out to someone else.
Finally, build a box and slap a price tag on it.
It's usually a large effort to build a custom android device... However, check this article out from Hackaday.com today: http://hackaday.com/2011/10/10/how-to-build-a-23-android-tablet/
There have been a few fallout builds on hackaday in the past (I'm a daily reader).. http://hackaday.com/2011/09/06/fallout-brought-to-life-with-this-working-pip-boy-3000/
MacaronyMax: thanks that was informative i didnt knwo they could do that
AdamOutler: You seem to know what you are talking about. I do know some Japanese btw but what I really wanted to gain is can a phone module be added to call people from it. I would like to do this without needing internet like wifi connection. I would like to flash it and use a phone number to call people and recieve calls. CDMA would be preffered.
Most of the manufacturers keep cellular technologies locked down. That's the single bit of power they maintain. The rest of the board can be open source, but they lock down the cellular technologies.....
With that said, you can get a "CDMA Cellular Module" for just about any purpose and communicate with it via GPIO(power), UART(Data) and I2C(controls). That would be one way of going about it....
An easier method might be to grab a Samsung Captivate from Ebay, remove the housing and build around what's left. I say Captivate because they are around $200, decently fast, and they are rather slim.... Also, they can be modified to be UnBrickable and we've done alot of research and custom roms in the Captivate Development Forums... an i9000 may be even better, but it's got a larger case... Captivate and i9000 are basically the same phone and some of the most active development forums on the site.
Using a prebuilt device and remanufacturing the case would suit your requirements and possibly be easier I think.
Ok so what I have found are these things called "PCIe minicards" that can do cmda/gsm/gps/wifi and all that good stuff. Is this what your talking about?
If I found a board, that has the slot for it, will this be able to be used for voice calling over say Verizon/Cricket if I added it to my plan? If so would this be flashable with qpst/cdma ws or what would I use to program?
I also noticed some boards having what appears to be the same device (usualy wifi/gps ony) but it looks soldered on. Might replacing one of those for one with cdma capabilities work? (I think i saw this on a new pandaboard)
The reasons I dont want to use a pre-exiisting phone is because 1) I dont get to learn anything 2) I can't "upgrade" anything and 3)I don't want limitations set by manufacturer (ie. phone needing root, etc)... plus I kinda like the from-scratch look of things.
I just decided to install mango on my windows phone 7, but now i want to know if there is any way to install any android os on it. I used to like it when i got it but i just hate microsoft the have stabbed me in the back so many times with xbox and this phone. I love android cause the app, wp7 just doesnt have any apps or anything.
This will start a flame war undoubtedly like it always does but....
Basically you cannot install Droid on ANY windows phone 7 yet. Period.
As to the apps? What "must have" apps are you missing?
well, wp7 marketplace for one just doesnt have anything, androids has so much more. everything on wp7 cost money. if i could unlock this stupid thing i would be happier. is there anyway to unlock the HTC Trophy from verizon.
Bump... anyone know who to unlock the HTC Trophy from verizon, model (mwp6985) on firmware 7720 mango. I unlocked it before but thats when i had my developer membership which microsoft banned my account for no reason, one of the reasons i want android.

There are tons of free apps on WP7... the way you write this though suggests you are used to piracy.... That being said though to unlock the Trophy you have to downgrade back to a lower version NoDo or lower probably. I am not very familiar with the Verizon phones.
I came from iOS having previously, and to be honest there may be less apps on the WPMarketplace then either store but I have found I don't need hardly any third party apps to make the phone function on par with what I had before.
Bottom line - if you want an Android sell your WP7 and buy one. I sold my iPhone on eBay to get my Omnia 7 and I'm sure you won't have a problem selling the phone.

I believe the Trophy has the same CPU (QSD8250) the HD2 and Nexus one does, that would probably be the best place to start. You may want to double check on the GPU though. That CPU is also very compatible with the QSD8650 (or at least the opposite is true), but I wouldn't worry about that until you get it ready to boot a ROM on. If you have to modify the radio/baseband or bootloader I wouldn't risk mixing them up there.
Have you checked to see if there's any way to trigger download mode on your phone?

The count is less, very less agreed on that but let me know what app you are looking for and I will list it for you. Roll in your requests.
I don't understand why people are always talking about there aren't anny apps for wm7.
The normal apps are there, so whats the problem.
Beside that I think WM7 runs better en smoother than android so you going to mango..
What is "WM7?"
It seems this thread was started under the false pretense of a legitimate question, but it has become very apparent, this is another troll situation where nothing productive to add or question to ask, but to start bs. When asked what specific the "must have" apps are they missing, they cannot answer. such typical crap...
If you really felt such hate towards microsoft and you have been "stabbed" as you say by them, why did you go out and purchase a wp7 phone? Why dont you just sell it and get your pos and stick with it? No one forced you to, did they?
I'm not stabbed but to be honest, I miss some things like all of us does. If I buy a smartphone, I don't want to be limited on sharing just online. A "smartphone" should have it all integrated, especially because is a microsoft avantgarde. I want to download clips from net and store it to my phone, install apps third party without the need of pc, visiting web pages with javascript enabled, watching movies online, cuz is microdoft phone and it has a great flash player. We cannot always say just"sell it and buy something else" and pretend that we are super satisfy with our devices, but waiting always for future updates for improvings.
