[Resolved] [Q] List of Mobiles with Cyanogen compatible

Hi everyone,
First, i'm new here, and I love this site
Second, I'm from Belgium, so if you can't read what I wrote, it's normal, I don't speak english very well.
Third, there is my question : could you make a list for me, with all mobile phones, in which i could put Cyanogenmod (and if i could root it of course). Because I'll maybe change my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 because i saw in another forum that it's impossible to make a Cyanogen for X10, and also because X10 is very late for updates (I'm on Android 1.6, 2.2 will be released in March 2010).
Thank you for your help

Nexus One
HTC Aria
HTC Dream
HTC Magic
HTC Desire
HTC Evo
HTC Slide
HTC Hero CDMA
HTC Hero GSM
HTC Incredible
HTC Legend
Motorola Droid

Ok thank you I'm sad xD
Do you think Cyanogen will never create a ROM for our X10 ?
And if not, are there other really nice ROMs for X10 ?

I don't think X10 has been rooted yet, so I don't know if you even load a Custom ROM or flash a new image.
SE said they will get Froyo for X10 in November(?), while keeping Eclair for the X10 mini, X10 mini pro etc. In another "unofficial interview", CEO of SE said that they are planning something big, I think this is a PSPhone since Sony had failed to even announce a PSP2.
I'm guessing that the rumour was true, and SE will announce a Froyo phone that will be able to accept Sony's memory cards and Sony will allow that device to enter the PSN (same as the PSP Go's Market). This phone will be a slide / tilt / flipout with the gamepad on the bottom, where the top layer is the touchscreen and SE's 3 buttons. I'm guessing it will be plastic and it will resemble the X10 (not a good thing).
It would probably have something powerful beneath it; definantly 1GB LDDR2 RAM (or more) + 1GHz A8 processor (or more) + SGX540 (or more).
I also think it will have a miniHDMI connector like the HTC EVO 4G, for presentation/gaming.
All in all, it will (have to) be better than all the smartphones on the market including the N900/Milestone2/GalaxyS/iPhone4 and it will definantly be expensive (on-par with the iPhone4 or even more expensive since Sony is a greedy company).
If you can shell-out for it, you won't be disappointed ... the Playstation name is too valuable to stain!

Thank you for your answer Ekin, even if I didn't understand everything
But on xda-dev on the forum, I found the way to root it, but I'm not going to do it if there is no ROM to add :'(
Thank you

[Q] Motorola Milestone or Motorola Defy

Hi Guys,
I've been reading the posts in the forum and I realized that, if anybody can help me with this dilemma, it's YOU guys !
I want to buy a new phone and I want it to be an Android Smartphone... Everything OK so far... I "window shopped" a bit and considering the limited options that are available in my country, I finally decided that the best options, price/performance wise, are the Motorola Milestone A853 and the Motorola Defy.
Now I've been reading about them for the past month, about the hardware, what are the advantages and disadvantages of both phones, I saw numerous reviews for both phones and read everything there is to read about the processors and GPU's in both phones but now I want to read a personal opinion on both phones, why should I choose one over the other and why...
I really hope that you guys can help me with this !
Now I imagine that some of you guys will say that none of them are that great because of the processor, or the Android version or the fact that none of them might be getting the Gingerbread update, so, If possible, I would appreciate if you could leave all of that aside and express your opinion related to these 2 phone as they are right now, with no updates or hacks and if possible, share YOUR experience with them as well.
Of course, you will be asking me what I want to use the phone for, well... I would like to... Ummm... use it as a ... phone, browse the web and be able play some 3D games (e.g.: Polarbit Games, Gameloft HD games, Quake etc.) without much lag (preferably with NO lag at all ).
Please HELP !!!

Defy is new. Milestone is pretty old.
Defy has 512mb ram
Milestone has 256mb ramb
Defy's processor is 200mhz faster .. and made by Texas Instruments.
Should be more economical on battery life as well.
Moreover, the Defy comes with a bigger battery. 1540 vs 1400.
Defy should be less laggy and more likely to get more android updates. Dont know about the community support though. Would advise you to go check in the Milestone android development forum and see how active those guys are. The support for that phone basically depends on them now.

Hello
I know, this topic is not so new but i wouldn't create the new one.
Can someone write more about those two phones? In march I gone get a new phone from the operator and I have to choose between Milestone and Defy. I know, Defy's newer and has a little bit better hardware but what about the future development? Here in Poland Defy's not so popular as the Milestone. BTW Defy's a little bit cheaper than Milestone in my operator What else? Milestone's getting Froyo in a few "days". Defy's still on eclair, and who knows how about the future...
The most important what I need is:
- smooth UI
- smooth games
- smooth web browsing
- big screen and good resolution (both the same)
- official updates and unofficial development
Please help!

hi i am stuck with the same dilemma i dont no which phone to get.

I bought milestone yesterday.U won't regret...it's a lot better than defy ,even with all the differences between defy and milestone,milestone is way cooler at looks than defy as a phone,as updates and gaming(because of the keyboard)

I think Milestone is better based on community support, its easy to find custom ROMs for what you need..

[Q] Which Phone should I get??

Hi, I hve finally decide to go back to PDA/Smartphone and want to know which I should get. I am a veteran in the rom flashing/cooking era of the wizard and vario's and htc touch pro 2. I am after finding out which is the best , as in most powerful and able to run everything smoothly whether it be android or Win7. I prefer a physical keyboard , but if screen good enough will use on screen one.
Thanks for your time/thoughts peeps!!
P.s coming of an Iphone 4. (Boo hiss I know...lol).

Desire Z (w/ HW Keyboard), iPhone 4 or HTC HD7...
This depends on you. All those phones are great. You need to check which one fits your style. We can't do this for you.

I suggest you wait until the newer Q1 2011 android phones come out, where do you live and what carriers are in your area?

Thanks for the replys. I am in UK on o2 and have about £400 for new phone.

need a phone quite quickly so am after the best nowish. Can a desire z be flashed with roms etc and HD7?
HD7 looks quite big and desire z only has 800mhz cpu as far as I can see . Is this fast enough.?
Thanks.

hey guys help me with ur views and suggestions.

Spice MI-410 (Rebranded Huawei IDEOS U9000 X6) - 13K -- Nothing beats this for value for money - 4.1" 800x480 Screen, Qualcomm MSM8255, Adreno 205GPU, 5MP Cam with Flash, 512MB RAM.
HTC Desire (Not S / HD) - 15-16K
Motorola Defy - 15K
If you are ready to consider 'mid range' devices, the range of choices grows a lot. You can then include Galaxy Ace, Wildfire S, ChaCha, Dell XCD35, Huawei U8800 X5. But, if I were to buy a phone today at 15K, I would pick one from the 1st 3. (Inclining more and more to the Spice, but, sadly, there's no section for it at XDA - Yet)

thanks,
is spice (Huawei IDEOS U9000 X6) reliable in terms of hardware and stuff ? i'm not able to get desire for 15-16k (dealers in delhi are quoting around 20k !!!!). i checked out defy but it seems to lag especially while scrolling up and down the screen...
was in dilemma so posted here for help.

The X6 should be reliable, I don't see why not. Besides, it is backed by the normal manufacturer warranty.
Desire was on stock at Flipkart.com for 16.5K but is unfortunately not in stock ATM.
Saholic.com lists the Desire as in Stock though at 15.5K, and, since they are a Spice initiative, the MI-410 is also available exclusively through them online (For 14K - as I stated above). Only thing - You'll have to be comfortable buying a phone online.
For the Defy, I have tested it quite a lot(A friend of mine has it), and, frankly, I haven't felt any lag at all. Then again, maybe its because I have a Wildfire, and everything other than it will feel fast.
Good Luck

Hi there:
So is it a good device the H7000 for serious development ? What is the feedback of the equipment ?
Cheers,

i'm also considering buying one from here:
http://www.mobile-phones.cn/hero-h7...ass-capacitive-touch-phone-p-5969.html?page=1
there are tons of reviews down the page but i'm not sure if those reviews are real and whether the website is trustworthy or not.......haven't really heard of the site before.
The specs seems to be pretty decent for that price, i'm considering selling my Motorola Milestone and use this instead since I would opt to go for a 4.3' screen over 3.7' any day.

It looks like it has just 3 buttons
Is it true that Android devices work with 4 buttons ?
Anyone has in his/her hand one of these ? Are you developing on it ?
Thanks

No offense, but what kind of dumb question is that? Of course Android devices can work with many buttons. There shouldn't even be any limitations to how many buttons a device can use or have anyway.
The HTC HD2 can use Android fine, even though it's not native and officially supported but it runs Android really smoothly, and guess what the HD2 has 5 buttons.
Most Android devices now days have 4 or 5 capacitive buttons on them, while they're not physical buttons but they're still there.
Lastly, the Hero H7000 doesn't even have 5 buttons, it only has 3. It's a clone of the HTC HD7. Maybe look at it properly first...?
Also, since it's a chinese clone of the HD7 and not many people actually buy chinese clones like these, there is pretty much no development or support for it. Tons of chinese clones or knockoffs like these use the MTK6516 CPU. It's super slow since it's only 460Mhz. The main point is, almost all chinese cloned devices use that CPU, so it's only logical to think that someone might have added support on apps like SetCPU to include the MTK6516. But there isn't any support, no one could overclock this CPU yet.

I Were going to go buy a Hero1700. But see these posts, I must think about it wheather it is suitable to use or not.

Hello ,
I am new to this so if anyone could help me please !!
