Hey all! I am new to the forums, this being my first post. I had a question about running android on htc phones. Through a switch of cell phone carriers I have gained access to a Pure, a Fuze, or a Tilt 2. My goal is to run Android on one of these phones, using google voice for texting and calling on wi-fi. I was wondering which of these phone options would work the best to do this on and why. Thanks for any advice ~ Kidron
Welcome to forums
Diamond 2 and Rhodium have Android running just quite good on it, have a look to the proper subsections to find out more.
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
Thanks! Will do...
Hello everyone,
Right now I own an HD2, and I am very happy with it.
But my contract expires soon, so I will be able to choose a new phone. But the thing is due to some changes my provider made I thought I would be able to choose a phone in late august. Turns out I could object to the cnages and now I can get my new phone in june.
But now I don't have time to do as much research as I normally would. So that is where I need your advice. What phone would be a worthy succesor for my HD2?
I use my phone mainly for entertainment so for me important things are:
Large internal memory
Good sound quality
Large screen (preferably 4.3 inch)
Speed
Android
Also important is the ability to flash ROM's but when I pick a phone that is already able to flash a custom ROM, it is probably a slightly older phone. But when I pick a very new phone I would just have to hope that it will become popular on XDa and flashing will become an option.
So advice and opinions please!
P.S it even makes me a little sad to get a new phone... I had an Xperia X1 before my HD2, but I had an HD2 based ROM on it so I have been on this forum for a few years now and I've grown attached to it. Kinda pathetic huh?
Oh I have mistakenly put this in the General forum instead of the HD2 General forum. So mods if you find this, please move my thread
I believe HTC Sensation will satify your requirements.

Thank you so much for pointing it out! Looks very nice
I will be the first to tell you I am not tech savvy at all! I have been doing some research with regards to this and have used many resources avail, including this site.
I have read most of the answers to my questions but still require assistance. I have the HTC Desire with with my local internet provider Cox Communications and I have a 10.2 inch tab through wowpad that is powered by Android supertab. It is operating on 2.1. My HTC is 2.2. I am very new to the smart phone world and tablet world.
Is there a way to just simply upgrade my tab to a new OS? Do most of you feel that rooting my phone is the way to go, because I never ever have storage that I need. I know it comes down to a personal choice. Or, will my phone eventually upgrade to a new OS?
I really want to do my tablet but honestly I literally need step by step directions in doing so. If I mess this up on my own, my wife and daughter will kill me. Thanks in advance to all of you. This is truly the best site in the world!
How would rooting your phone solve your storage issue?
More Storage
From what I understand, I will have superuser rights and that would allow me to delete some of the stock programs to free up space. Is that right?
Help
Is there anyone out there willing to help with this issue? It would be greatly appreciated.
This Sucks
Ummmm Wow! I thought I would get some help with this, but I guess not. I guess I'll try another site.
Take it easy, look up your device in the forums and look for how to root.
It's not that hard to do and most devices have a manual how to.
Take a look at this:

Thank you
Thank you krt. That is exactly what I needed. Thanks again.
Hi guys! A long time user and a new member of this incredible forum and website. This is infact the BEST website for android phones.
Being a HTC Desire user for 4 years now, I could keep it alive and breathing with customs roms and tutorials you guys have provided here. My sincerest thanks to everyone responsible for this, especially the developers. Now I think its finally catching up with age and I need a newer handset.
So I'm on a hunt for an used Android phone something which has good hardware, 4G LTE (not required not a plus nonetheless) and is cheap ($100 - $150ish) which has a good support base with developers building new roms frequently. I would be extremely happy if someone could suggest a phone to match my requirements. All suggestions and advice is welcome. Thanks again for being such an awesome community, you guys simply rock!

did you spend ANY time to search on the forum before you posted? IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
technology not compatible, despise it is near the same devices are unique to run windows or android, you should be able to sell your w phone and get an android version
also keep in mind that you might not be happy with the android version. if used to windows phone you will find the higher battery drain under android quite disturbing.

The best bet is to exchange with someone who needs Windows phone but holding an android phone.
windows
It may be worth waiting. Windows 10 may allow you to install android apps

Woot !!!
Hello guys,
Seriously, I'm currenlty struggling to get one, as they're only availabel in the U.S. and nobody wants to ship to my location...
If you really have one of these and want Android, then please make things simple for everybody : contact me to sell yours and get an Android model !
On the other hand, i agree it would be fun to be able to run an SD Android ROM like we did on the HD2, but if you're looking for a NAND ROM, justs swap for a regular M8 that's available everywhere !
P.S. : I'm serious about wanting to buy an M8 for Windows... AT&T unlocked, as we're using only SIM cards here. Thanks ! ^^
Isn't there any swap section on this forum, btw ?
As a FYI to anyone that happens to be messing around in this space: I've intentionally bricked my (Win) M8 into QDLoader 9008 mode, but haven't gotten much further as the device doesn't appear to fully implement Qualcomm's Sahara protocol, or at least implements it differently than any examples for other devices that I've found - it will do the hello handshake and a mode switch but returns some sort of error after that. I'm out of relevant docs and examples on Sahara and firehose though, so I'm pretty much done unless I decide and manage to hook up JTAG.
There was a poster in another thread who said they were able to install android this way, but then never reported back with their "tutorial". As such, they may very well have been lying, but unless someone who understands the M8's Sahara support chimes in, it's still a possibility. Not trying to get anyone's hopes up though, as I'd say it's still unlikely given the lack of dev effort for this phone.
any updates?
Anybody hear about any update on this topic? My friend and I are willing to work on a project to see if we can make it possible. We just need to know where to start. As of now, I have the HTC M8 unlocked to sideloads apps and what not. Anything helps. Being negative never gets you anywhere. Being positive opens new doors. Thanks for your time.
Developers! can you convert windows htc m8 to android?
Hello Developrs!
My friend has a shop of mobile phones and he has a stock of HTC one m8 for windows phones. He wants to let it convert into android. Please let me know if any of you can do this. i will pay you for this.
Thanks

I have HTC one M8 (windows 10 version) at&t unlocked
if you are serious, please contact me on my email [email protected]
we'll keep in touch
Thanks for the offer, but I've bought a Lumia 950 now.
BTW, your email address seems to have been "anonymoused" ! ^^

Checking in for any updates. I got handed this phone in an insurance upgrade.
Hi, I can't find the other 3d about the porting, but today I was thinking about the mi4.
If you remember, the MI4 LTE can switch between windows mobile and android... maybe if we study the tools and the code behind that device we might modify/create a tool or (maybe) at least find something interesting that we can apply to our htc one m8.
I'm not a dev and my english is very bad, but I wanted to share with to all of you my thoughts.
