I have looked but cant seem to find any thread if there is one please point in the right directions. My question would be is there anyway to remove WMO on my HTC HD2 and replace it with Androind and not using the SD card to boot off of ?
welcome to android hd2 world.
check out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735
We running android on sdcard not replace winmo for now.
your concept we call NAND, this is not public yet but testing in dev team.
Thx for the info will look under the link you gave me. The reason why i asked about replacing the operating system is I have seen on Youtube that there is some program out there that will do this but not really sure if I want to go that way..

Hiya's, I found this site while looking up info on the HTC cruise as I have just received a hand-me-down Cruise from a friend (had a very old nokia..). This is a major upgrade for me (it has a 2 camera's unlike my nokia which has none). I am keen to get the most use from the phone as possible and at the moment it seems to be going ok but having read a couple of the forum messages it seems that there are various upgrades that can make it a better phone.
I have been accused of being a semi-ludite when it comes to using technology so would appreciate any advice on what can be upgraded as far as the operating system and other programs are concerned. I have used the CoPilot program this morning and think is is the greatest thing since individually sliced and packaged cheese..
The settings on the phone indicate it is ROM 1.26.710.1 WWE (date 12/17/2007), Radio Version 1.58.21.23 and Protocol Version 25.65.30.04H.
If any advice is forthcoming, please keep things as simple as possible or I will have to get one of my neighbors kids to come over and explain..
Cheers
Ian
Welcome to the wonderful world of a touchscreen windows mobile device.
Of course there are a lot of things you can improve, thousands of programs are waiting to be installed and so on.
IMHO the most important thing is: If you are satisfied with your current system DO NOT change it. If everything is running smooth there is no need to flash a new operating system or radio. If you notice slowdowns during using the device or if the radio in your area is not running perfect you should flash the latest upgrade from HTC. They are offering WM 6.1 (WM = windows mobile, the operating system) and a new radio. Its very easy to flash but you will loose all your data on the device.
If you don't like your today screen, you can check some replacements, Mobile Shell is one of it:

And if you like this shell you can change its look with upgrades like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3904948&postcount=2513
Of course you can flash one of the Roms created by one of the devs. You will find an overview here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521961
But you should be aware that many of these roms are using stuff from other devices like Manilla, this might cause problems. And you have to be very careful if flash a self created rom, its not that easy like flashing an original HTC rom.
Last but not least you have to think about the way you want to use your device. If you just need a phone you need nothing else. If you want to read ebooks like wikipedia you need a reader and so on. Here you can find tons of programs for your device:

You will also find a lot of freeware apps here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
And a very important thing is: Backup your device often if you are trying different applications, you are having a windows device
For a list of recommended software check my signature.
All are freeware except iGO, and easily found on this forums (or links from here lead to authors pages).
And welcome to Polaris owners club...
Thanks very much for the replies..
It seems to be going ok at the moment. I am not too sure whether it is slow or not (nothing to compare..) but opening an application only takes a couple of seconds so I am happy with that. I have been using it primarily as a phone (of course) but have been using the camera like mad. I even made one of my friends give me a video call..very cool...I have tried to use the voice commander application but it doesn't seem to want to do anything and eventually just says "Goodbye" and closes. I am going to look at the list of applications at some of the website that are list above and see what is available.
Cheers and thanks again..

Can someone please point me to the cab file for the RSS application that comes with HD2, I loaded custom Rom, and realised this has been left out.
Nobody has a link to this app to download?
it don't look like it mate,
i take it your runnin a custom rom which has it removed,
Yep. I dont get why it was removed, its not exactly a deal breaker in terms of speed or memory...maybe the modder wanted to show off their hacking skills!
give this a try,
i used to use it on my HD
it may work on the HD2, mate

Thanks a lot for your help .
So I was thinking of having Froyo installed on my HD2 but have a few questions that maybe someone here can answer. Currently I have stock tmo and anastasia skins for different programs. My questions are:
What does dual boot mean?
Will I lose winmo completely?
Will I be losing my skins?
Can I swap between Operating systems? And if so how?
I hope someone can help me with this before I have anything installed. If anyone has froyo and can incude screenshos that would be great too.

You don't have to be that harsh on somebody asking something that isn't 100 described into detail...

If I may suggest, you could better post your questions in the HD2 ROM Development section of this forum.
But it would be even better if you post at either HD2 Android Development General or the HD2 Q&A subsections...
And to answer your questions (as far as I know (I don't use Android))
- dual boot means you have a choice at start-up to boot into windows, or directly boot to Android
- you won't loose Windows completely, as Windows is needed to start the programs to get Android running. (so until we have a stand-alone Android ROM for HD2, you will have some kind/build of Windows
- skins/themes applied to windows/Sense should remain
The last part I really don't know if it can, or how
(if someone knows more about this, and is willing to share, give it a shot )
Grtz,
Degake

Thank You for your help. As for the other response, no worries I know that some people are smarter than others in these topics but the time it took him to open the thread and write "use the search function" couldve been used to either say "I dont know" or answer the questions? Mods please consider this issue solved and close thread.
Since I am new, it will not let me post the link, but if you go to YouTube, copy and paste this...
Finally Full Android 2.2 NAND no sd card needed (say byebye to winmo 6.5) ....
I want to know if anybody can do this for my HTC Radar 4G. Thanks!
I have just closed similar thread. Please stay here on topic related to WP7 questions.
WM6.5 is a completely different OS than WP7 which is HTC Radar native OS. And as explained in before mentioned closed thread, no it cannot run android in WP7 devices yet. Enjoy of searching and reading.
So, I've been searching around for how to install another language option onto my Radar.
I found this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415 but a few things pushed me away from this process.
The first being under the HTC list for OEM drivers, the Radar is not listed.
Also, a person later on in the thread mentioned that if more languages were installed than what was previously on the device, it would put it into an un-updateable state.
Basically, I want to install the Japanese language pack onto my phone, so I can use it in my native language.
I've done a ton of rooting on Android and Jailbreaking on iOS, but I'm still a bit new to dev and hacking of WP7.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
