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.

cooked roms always work better because the cooker knows what we need, and want without the addition of any bloatware ya know.

Actually Windows 7 is really great.

its ugly, they ruined the taskbar (even the classic mode is screwed up)
and they stole sooo much from KDE
granted, it is better than vista....but xp is still more reliable
i only use windows for my recording software so i dont have to suffer it often

Haha same here.
But honestly though every operating system has some type of semi-severe problem. For example Windows registry, dll's, and NTFS. Linux's ridiculous amount of distros (I use Super OS personally), over dependency on the CLI, and horrendous looking default themes that put most people off of it. Apple's price gouging, security by obscurity, and closed off development platform.

i use stock ubuntu with the ubuntu studio theme
i will look in to making superOS my default liveusb for next time i need to reinstall tho...

For us tech people 100+ distros isn't a bad thing, but tell a commoner to use stock Ubuntu and I guarantee that he or she will keep calling you asking how to play their DVD's, their MP3/WMA library, why their printer/scanner doesn't work (Lexmark X1290 in my case) etc, etc.

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

Engadget: Here is the Froyo link that will update any device!

I am new. Is this what we have been waiting for?
If you go the Engadget website. They have a link to download a build of Froyo that supposedly works for any android device.

only for any nexus one...wrong forum dude.

For any Nexus One, not any device.

any nexus one build, not any android phone

hopefully though, our amazing froyo rom devs here can get something useful out of it

I am hoping soon to have Froyo, you got my hopes up with this post!

We already have a million froyo builds along with another million 2.1 builds. So much stuff that can be ripped from other phones.
Just need the damn kernel source form HTC now.

excluding different versions of the same rom i've only seen 4 (Avas droidX line appears to be branching off from his V line from what he's said) So we have 2 from Ava, hero's, and the new one complied from source.

Man, well sorry for the misunderstanding. The way the post reads makes it seem as though any android phone would worker with the release. It should have been a clue though when I did not see any posts about it. I have had my evo for about a month now and have really been enjoying learning about, thanks to you all, the guts of it.
I look forward to discovering and posting more but in the future I will refrain from posting news that does actually pertain to our discussion- even though I thought it did.
Thanks for the lesson.

Well, there was some overzealousness with the claimed number of Froyo builds (there are what, 3-4? now). Either way, the kernel is what is needed to get the cameras going. HTC needs to get a bit more consistent with their timetables for releasing their source - some phones take 4 months and some have only taken a few days. It's a pain in the ass.

is that referring to just this board? Because there are lots of other ROMs out there from different boards. On PPCGeeks there are a few ROMs that are not listed here, and also on Android Central, there are some that aren't mentioned here. And soon there will be a Cynanogen ROM bringing 2.2 to the EVO that may not be listed here as well, so there are some other things out there if you look for them.

Me too.......DWL

Call it my natural penchant for pessimism, but I have a feeling that they are waiting until it's too late for everyone to return their Evo's to release the source.
Cuz if they did release the source within 30 days of launch and everyone found out that the 30fps really is a hardware limit (yes I know about the dirty hacks, the devs term not mine) then we would see a mass exodus of people returning their phones for the galaxy or droidx.

stupid people with stupid posts.
I really like those people who try to root their phone, but then can't get adb working on their pc. If you can't install and use adb, you shouldn't be rooting a phone.

Qwerty Keyboard phone options

I have owned the HTC 8525 and now own the HTC Tilt 2 and I want to upgrade to another phone with a qwerty keyboard. I was wondering what options are out and/or coming out? I'm looking to get an android or something with WP7 and at&t is my carrier. Any input on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It was such a simple and easily googlable question that deserved a much worse answer (or just ignoring) then mine + it's so bloody broad that at least 20 phones or more would fit it.

Agreed. Not the most helpfull answer Kosmarnik.
As it goes, you might want to look up the Samsung S Pro. The standard S model has reports of serious GPS issues however, the S Pro has been delayed so maybe thats to fix these issues?

I like the Desire Z but it´s only Android
Hope HTC launches a hardware keyboard device with WM so I´ll be able to run both OS in one device!!

Two things:
1.) Why get a EVO? They're overhyped. The HD2 has better RAM (Evo: 512MB HD2: 548 MB) and runs WM, plus, you can boot Android off of it and that in my opinion makes it better because you can have two fully functional OS's. The only thing Evo has over the HD2 is the 4G that not everyone can get in their area, and an 8MP camera.
2.) Really, if you have a problem with the person's question shut the hell up and get off his thread. XDA is supposed to welcome people and treat each one with respect. You make people feel unwelcomed. Either help the person out without criticism, or get a life and stop hassling people for their questions. Dickhead.

Sure sure, but WinMo is a dead platform while Evo is a native Android device. If you can't get Evo, well, go for HD2, but otherwise you're just setting your self up for unneeded work/compatibility issues...
Also for most people just flashing a new rom is too hard, so running a dual-boot setup is out of the question.

You on the other hand, rushed in with your whitekinghting and insults. Pfft. I fart in your general direction.
Searching before posting is just common sense.
Now, can we continue with the mourning of Rhodium and lamenting the lack of a decent successor?
And thanks to using the SEARCH BUTTON I found out that Desire Z/G2/Merge are the same phone: HTC Vision with different amounts of ROM! That clears up a lot, but leaves me sad.
Vision seems to use the Rhodium keyboard form, but only 4 rows??? Why do that? And no tilt? 800MHz?
Also, first reports say that the slide hinge is broken:

Update: way to go darth_vato, more internet whiteknights to rescue the thread with their contributions! Now with free lame insults!

If you're looking for a hardware keyboard I'd recommend the HTC Desire Z because at 800mhz it's benchmarks are very near the 1ghz ones in HTC Desire/Google Nexus One. And it looks quite good with Sense UI.

Sorry, didn't realise you were also listing WP7. In that case, check out the Dell Lightining. In all honesty, as long WP7 holds up and does what I need (FULL Exchange) then this will probably be my next phone.
Only one serious concern, I understand that it might not work with SD cards at first release. I currently have a 32gb card full of tv progs, music and work data... this would be a deal killer for me Guess will find out for sure on Monday!
