Hi XDA forum.
I have been thinking about a thing.
As the hardware and software to some extention is pretty similar in many phones and brands, is there then some kind of a combined XDA effort to do the different tasks when trying to make costum roms for new models ??
I just think it would be a shame if there over at eg. HTC Legend is sitting 20 NAND experts, or at Samsung S is 25 bootloader specialists.
Or if the best DES-crackers in the world only are reading HTC Desire HD.
So my question is:
Is there at XDA some kind of a combined effort, some form of sharing information?
Perhaps the XDA-Moderators could set up such a system if it is not here allready.
(I have not been able to find such a system here)

just courious to know how many other users have this device? can't be just me can it??
i chose this because of the screen size (all the better for surfing with)
if there are enough of us we could request the mods add us a section so can start to 'develop' specifically for this device
add your responces folks
poll added for Panda owners -do we want our own thread? yes or no

I was just looking at this right now. I currently have an o2 XDA IIs, and was wondering if this was the upgrade/replacement for it?
Have you compared it to IIs at all? I'd be interested to know if it's worth getting (IIs colour scheme is better IMO =P)
I don't have a Panda yet, but am looking at them for the reasons you mentioned. If you read through the About XDA Developers sub forum in the general forum, it has been already asked for, but asking again can't hurt.

hi steve, have checked and responded to all of the threads so i know there are users out there. have had mine for about 4 months now and am impressed. the large screen makes it easy to use and most applications work fine. the only issue i have is that is wm5 only at the mo, does limit the operation a bit as 6 would be faster. still can't have it all
hi angerfist7777,
my understanding is that the argon is the updates version of the 2/2i. info and specs can be foung on gsmarena.
i find that it is a good device the only limit is no 3g but using opera mini this is not an issue, also the wifi works well?
Thats good to hear. I think there are enough people here with them to get a forum going. Then that should generate enough interest to get some development going.

I'm using the BA at the moment, same sie screen, and slide out keyboard. I like it, it's a bit bulky, and I'm not too fond of the screen style, size, love it, but I'd prefer a harder screen to it, maybe like the kind of screen on the iPhone etc. but anyway.
the BA has had enough development for several WM6 roms going. The reason I asked if it was the upgrade to the BA was maybe those roms could be used on it with a little tweaking. I don't know enought o do so myself, but am interested.
anyone know if there is a radio upgrade avaliable?

so far only the stock rom and radio as far as I can find out.
we need more users to push either this or one of the other threads to generate more interest
can then hope to push for a sub forum and start to develop
I have an HTC P6300 and I love it! When a device specific forum section?
is it possible to add a new group of phones on index? i would really like to see toshiba phones such as g810 there...
thanks!
This is an HTC Forum.. you could use "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" ROOM in "General Discussion": a lot of people do that

Although I probably won't own a Toshiba, I also think that it would be a good idea to add devices to this forum such as the G01. This is the best windows mobile site, and I think that there are people out there willing to develop and start a community around the new Toshiba phones. They all just need a place to stay
HTC only
As stated several times before...
This is an HTC devices only forum and no section will be added for any non HTC device, this is the point of view of the owners of the site wich I support.
"htc only" heh... Just not true dude!!! Browse the forum!!!

I absolutely agree!!! Plus on that list are non HTC phones like HP iPaqs and SE Xperia... So why not just add ASUS and Toshiba? Simple as that! It would contribute a lot, cause searching for non listed phones is just messy right now!!!
Anyway to prevent further ranting, these were my two cents... Over and out...
Cheers
they're not branded by HTC but manufactured by HTC
it's been discussed long and many times ago, Browse the forum!!!
Cheese and Cheers
Forum BIG, me small
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
Hi,
I can not decide which phone should I buy next ....
It should have:
-Android
-cheaper than 240 €
-can also be used
-It should give developers for the device
I had already looked at the HTC is that good?
Used in Germany it costs about 200 €.
Can you recommend me a Device?
Sorry for my English
Very nice information shared by you. I was just searching this type of information and luckily I got it from your blog. I like your blog also. Keep it up.
lol...what did I wrong?
dont worry about your english bud, i could understand what your asking
having a quick look on the german amazon, you could pick up a htc wildfire for about €192 brand new or ~€164 used.
there is also a used htc desire on there used for about €220.
i know the desire has quite an active dev scene, not sure about the wildfire but i had a quick gander in the sub forums and it looks active also.
HTC phones are good yes, tho i did have the htc magic which was nothing to write home about ;P
Then there is always the Samsung Galaxy Ace, €220 brand new and has some good support on it.
I would take the desire. the wildfire display resolution is to low.
HTC Desire recommended
I second megamacy. The Desire will give you a phone that can still measure itself favorably with the latest crop of smartphones. That and community development around the Desire is very active and has yielded many excellent community ROM's.
Hello,
And thank you to all the dev in XDA I have been using many an app from here!
