I'm trying to find a nice fast phone, i'm looking for an android operating system that has launcher 2 and the eris style widgets can someone point me in the direction of a decent phone xD? i though i'd ask on here...
the images i attached is what i'm trying to find.. :]
Or, second option could someone help me get my eris to look like this :O? it's rooted..
Install CM7 and use launcher pro for the sense widgets.
i had launcher pro on my eris(she has passed on now )and worked beautifully!
desire hd ftw
i'd go for an htc desire hd

The purpose of this thread is to discuss the possibilities of getting Android up and running on the HD Mini.
A word to the wise…porting Android is NOT easy, it took almost 1 year to get an (almost) fully working port for the HTC Touch Pro, and there were a LOT of really good Linux developers spending TONS of time on it. (The preceding sentence was paraphrased from this post by TheDeadCpu.)

Me to!! Can't live with what's in the HD Mini, but most certainy I can live with the hardware. Anybody knowing how to androidize it?
I bought HD mini due to the outlook, size and weight!
Legend have poor taste and the shape is not good to store in pocket.
Frankly, WM is more easy to copy and edit the Word/Excel files from PC and I can check some files out of office easily.
And I just seek for any solutions for multi-boot with Android OS as Android looks better and I just want to try it and need not to buy another phone.
Cos I have one iPhone already, too many mobile phones~
When the evo rom arrives, it will be ported to hd2. I find it logical that it will be a android powered hd mini in the future. Then, it would be rather easier than now to create a custom android rom for hd mini But I should stick to reality.
The dual boot app for winmo devices isn't written for hd minis hvga resolution.
But hey, the diamond 2 or touch pro 2 does not have a android twin to take a rom from. I will put up a request for hd mini support for the android dual boot app.
The hd mini would have been a great android device!
Sorry for bad English.
Thanks gingerviking! I agree that the hardware is made for Android rather than wm6.5. I cross my finger for a rapid solution - WM is just not for me anymore..
Good news is that a genious has managed to get the linux bootloader to work on hd2 and playing a 720p video. An Android port will soon come to hd2 even without the evo rom
Hopefully the kernel system on hd2 isn`t all that different from the hd mini
Well. We're all looking forward to see a genious hacker who cares about the hd mini and android. =)
Don't know if it will work but you guys could give it a try cause it runs via haret:
w w w _dot_ neopeek.com/en/stories/android/75-update-android-fuer-htc-blackstone-diamond-tilt-raphael-rhodium-topaz-fuze
@XDA-Mods: after months of waiting! when will you update my account?
Anything else besides android that you guys might want??? how about some cookies along with it? lol if you wanted android why did you bought a windows mobile based device?? cause of haret? if you want android on your hd2 mini, yould need a working linux kernel, then you can worry about android, and its not that easy im not going over this again im tired of explaining to noobs that android is not a a program that you can simply install...it dosnt work that way.

ATT HTC ARIA -- a dead ringer for HD MINI but with ANDROID?

I hate you. Htc!
I have great news for all you people living in the US: Like the evo 4g with sprint(android version of hd2). At&t have released the htc aria, a true android clone of the hd mini. Just google it for more info.
Yes and, unfortunately for us, HTC Aria will be, and nowadays is, available only for USA market...
I want it in Italy!!!!!! Or maybe... someone which could "do" a complete Android ROM for the HD Mini, based on the Aria!?!?!? I wish it! I really want it...!
Because HD Mini is so pocketlly beautiful!!!!
its a company fault
we have went to market to get it and it was WM and now they have released HD Mini with Anderiod ,
so it is who's fault,
i hope anyone can give info how to get the rom of android for our hd mini (old) one
Dear all, is the first time that i write in this forum, it is well done and it is my bible.
i have a motorola Xoom 3G bought in Uk (im italian) on it, i have android 3.1 with tiamt Rom ...wonderful.
but im looking some new launcher ui... and im surprised that there is not a porting of EDEN (NOTION INK ADAM) on our motrola xoom...there is somthig for View sonic but notthing for xoom.
So is there some one that is working on this porting?
for u is it possible a complete rom with EDEN UI + MARKET ECC ECC?
Im looking for a spb launcher project too...but i cant fine more news.
Thanks in advance for ur reply.
Andrea
I came from and Adam am surprised that you say that. My Adam gave me troubles left and right, and beast was all I used. I am more than satisfied with the xoom, live wallpapers, Widgets, SPEED. I think you should just get the right Widgets like the wizz Widgets.

Feedbacks are very welcome, the more feedbacks I receive, the more I can improve my apps
You can find the app here.
Feel free to Donate if you think I'm doing a good work

What launchers are you using? I tested on ADW (the Cyanogen stock one) and Go Launcher EX and it works
Ah and what phones as well? I'm testing on an Optimus Dual, but set the screen resolution as 320x480...

samsung galaxy s 2 using launcher pro
I'll install Launcher Pro on mine and let you know what I find out... could you remind me the SGS2 resolution, please?
I can confirm that it's not working on Launcher Pro or QQLauncher, while it is working on GO Launcher EX and ADW with any resolution. Now I have only to undertand why... I'll test something and let you know as soon as I can! Thanks for the feedbacks!
Tiwiz
On Launcher Pro Plus and my resolution is 480x800.
Sent from my Syndicated Epic using XDA Premium App
Ah ok, I found the mistake. Apparently, LauncherPro and QQLauncher base themselves on the DPI value of theI got it working on the Dual by changing the layout of the widget so that it scales with the DPIs and now it works. I'll make it work on SGS2 between today and tomorrow. (Delay due to work time ). If you get to any other device onto which is not working, let me know the device and I'll fix it
Tiwiz
Thanks for making this! The thickness of the lines making up the box are a bit too thick. It should be more like 2px wide as opposed to the 5px or so you have now. Otherwise it is awesome!
Oh yeah, it also should not go all the way to the screen edges. There should be a gap on each side.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I made this image with desktop visualizer if you would like to use it. It is pretty much pixel perfect (well as close as you can get considering it is scaling from 1280x720 to 800x480).
I had to cut out the mic icon so it has a bit of dark line around it still. I am trying to find a vector to use. Might have to draw it from scratch. :/
Here is a better version! (the image is there, it is just invisible cause it is all white on a transparent background)
Today I found an App for that, Do You know its name?
Didn't work on nexus s 4g running latest stable cyanogen mod release with stock adw. I know your working on it so I'll just hold out for the update. Widget looks great.
What is this widget called on the market?
Epic Life, Epic Phone... It all makes sense to me.
Outline of the search bar is too thick and it's not working on my Nexus S.
Hello everyone,
and thanks for the feedbacks! I posted a new version on the market, with a thinner outline and I tested out on SGS2 as well. For the Nexus S... I hope it works, if it doesn't, just post something here and I'll fix it. Looks like Samsung likes to mess around with DPIs, but now I found out the way (I should, at least) and I should be able to fix it for every device you want to
I also inserted a gap on both sides and studying if to put a gap even on the top... what do you think?
Thanks for your future feedback!

Market Link
Just installed it from the market and it looks great. No problems or errors, running CM7 w/ launcher Pro on the MyTouch4G.
Love the Tiwiz App, but when You have adw+ the app "ice cream sandwich (theme)", the search bar looks a bit better. However: Good work!
Please provide landscape support. When you look at it in landscape mode the search widget is very small
Epic Life, Epic Phone... It all makes sense to me.
Hey everyone i was just wondering was any1 planning on making a sense 4.0 launcher for android devices....not talking about roms thats something i really dont do but yea and can some1 post .apk files that make an htc sense 3.0 device look like a sense 4.0 device. I already have the weather clock and have pheonix launcher installed but does a little lag so yea. Plz and Thx You

Unfortunately, a launcher would probably be harder to come by compared to a ROM.
Hello Comrades,
I'll cut to the chase, I do not like the interface HTC SENSE, I think the theme and the menu interface and much more beautiful and practical.
So how do I eliminate the root HTC SENSE and colcocar original Android 4.0 without the formation green that brings HTC default.
Have you researched a lot about this, and knew that I must install a modified ROM to eliminate the sense of time and place the android 4.0 source.
But the ROM which I use for my desire S?
I appreciate all the help, and sorry if I'm making spam!, But I'm new and have read the rules as such.
Thank you.

There's no way you can remove sense without rooting.. it's too deeply integrated with the OS.. The only practical way is to root and install custom ROM.. I recommend the balele ROM or IceColdSandwich if you want stock ICS.. and Codename if you want 4.1..
Or, if you're only bothered by the look of the UI (the home screens and app drawer) then just install custom launcher.. Apex and Nova would be your best bet.. available in the Play Store..
Thanks for your response!
I'm more inclined to change the interface without make root the phone. I'm still new to the world of android, htc desire s bought (used) a little time for 120 €.
By the way, what you advise the prime New laucher? or Apex launcher pro?
Thank you!
Nova or apex, but it's a personal choice for everyone here. Those are the main two used though
I am going to call my kids Ctrl, Alt and Delete. Then if they muck up I will just hit them all at once.
