X10, N900 or HD2.
So now I need you guys and gals to help me solve this problem; which one to buy ? Last one I had was Kaiser, and it was god awful, but I loved it anyway and HTC made phones has got this site as a plus side and ehh... TOO HARD
just a good list of pros and cons would be good because I don't know any of them, since I have been out of this scene for a long time and haven't had time to follow any reviews. Has there been any problems with drivers or anything with any of those phones ? How is the build quality etc, can I upgrade X10 to A2.2 ?
Personal experiences are more than welcome, specially if you have tried all three phones.
like a hard keyboard: N900 runs with Linux and nice interface
wanna play around with an easy interface: X10 running android combined with sony ericsson games and apps
like a big screen with big processor: out of the three i would go with this devices because of it's big screen making it good for watching movies and browsing xda also it is very fast with it's 1Ghz processor!
I would go for Leo with no doubt as it´s HTC and very powerful device with nice big screen!
Have a look here to make a detailed comparision
Can I upgrade Android like Winmo ? Just flash it and it's done ? I read somewhere that this isn't like in WinMo and I would hate to wait until SE releases new version to their devices : / And I also read that there is some hardware related multitouch issue with X10 ?

Android is a bit different in that you have to obtain 'root access' before flashing a custom ROM - think 'run as administrator' on a PC. You also get a recovery partition which you can flash and put enhanced features on, which can be nice.
Basically, once you get root and flash a HardSPL then you can flash a new ROM as easily as WM - easier in fact, as you normally do it by SD card.
Anyway, you won't be able to flash a HardSPL or a custom ROM until that root is available, which it currently isn't for the X10 (although it's only a matter of time, really).
Hello again after 1 month...
I have lost from here, because as allready know my Desire Has been Fu**ed up iin testing of a rom who will Record Videos @720p With 30fps...
Now working 1 month on this Project with the help from a new friend (HTC HELLAS Technician) and with the help from my old friend Mr Lazaros (some here maybee know him) we make this true...
I want to thanks ACE HELLAS (HTC in Greece) who give me a New Desire (replacement of my burned desire) and also give me a marketing purpose (DEMO DEVICE) Htc desire to make all of my tests on this device.
Also i want to thanks all this guys who give me donates for this project
Now on the Project...
The good News:
The video recorder Shoot Videos @ 30 fps
I have modify a lot of HTC Drivers (wifi works like gigabit wired network... Require Draft n access point)
All of the Installed Programs is Updatable
IF YOU HAVE THE PREVIEWS Roufianos ROM YOU DONT NEED TO MAKE WIPE
The Rom is Ready for production (i will delay it 5-6 days to make sure that will work ok, and will not do the same to the Demo device )
The Bad News:
If you record Videos more than ~3Minutes you feel the desire hotness*
To work with the best results @30fps you need to have a good MicroSD (+8x)
Here is the Sample Video of my New Rom:
http://pameplateia.com/video/73K5W4D79936/Roufianos-V6-720p-Sample
*to resolve the hotness problem, you have to "slow" the brightness of the screen, this problem dont exists to HTC DESIRE With the News screens SLCD (sony Screens), i have test it t my new desire....
Stay tuned
lol but...what exactly you have modified?build prop? librarys? xml decoding?
Can't exits risk to burn out desire like your last amoled desire?
And, if you don't have source of 2.2 sense, how do you modify drivers?
omg! that video is sooo smooth! nice!

The Drivers its not 100% modified, its has been taked from other HTC Android Device who is 100% compatible with desire and works much more faster... if you want more details about this, i will send you later PM with this, because i dont choose it this by myself... Its 100% safe to use the rom, and for this reasson i will keep it unreleased for 5-6 days.
A friend told me that in the next HTC OTA Update (FROYO 2.2) will replace the drivers, because he have built it from the scratch for the Desire...
Also, for all this who want to Change the old screen of desire:
YOU CANOT Change it, because you have to change AND THE MAINBOARD of desire...
i preffer the Old AMOLED from samsung because it is better in sunny enviroment and im working all day outside...

And you prefer amoled to slcd because you're outside loads? Swear I saw a test on Gizmodo or Engadget and amoled didn't stand a chance against slcd.

Hi tron,
but this is the video sample that you have recorded 1 months ago with OLD ROM... I remember it, 17 sec... what's up?
Thank you neighbor,also for improved the 720p and wifi drivers
video is good as a bolt
So when can we expect these improvements?
Great News ~!
Will you also update the rom will lastest flash 10.1 , cifs .... etc ~
This looks mighty nice, looking forward to this being mainstream in all desire roms.
I hope you will be releasing the driver source, and not just pushing out another sense rom.
Now all we need is to plug a decent microphone into the micro usb slot, since the audio quality is rubbish on any videos I have taken
hi guys,
I'd like to know if it possible because I've been using my Xperia x1 for about a year and i think it's time for a change but when I checked all the available phones I got confused a little.
it seems like Windows phone 7 looks great but in a review i saw somewhere it says that it lacks some important features such as:
No Bluetooth file transfers
No USB mass storage mode
No multitasking
No copy/paste
No Flash or Silverlight support in the web browser
No DivX/XviD video support
No internet tethering support
Swapping memory card requires hard reset; cards not readable by computer
and Android has great features but IMO I think WinMo gives more freedom in the terms of using or hacking
and as a WinMo 6.5 user I find it a great OS with all the features needed and if there some feature I want that is not already offered it's available here on XDA-Dev either as a .cab or cooked in a ROM
So the Main Question: if I buy a Sonyericsson (X10 maybe) or a HTC with a 1 GHz Processor will I be able to install any OS of them as a ROM???
Thanx in advance.
The only device capable of running WP7 is the hTC Leo and it has actually working Android and some working on Ubuntu and Maemo as well.
not any other device will be capable to do so
Thanx for reply
So the HD2/Leo is able to handle all 3 OSs
but i have more questions please
how is the HD2 up to date regarding the specs? like the RAM, ROM, and processor
can there be 2 OSs in the same time and to be able to switch between them?
and does android 2.2 froyo work 100% i mean with everything working??
thanx again

I'm intreagued, what about the duplo phone looks great to you?
The basic HD2 specs are up to date on paper (RAM, ROM, processor) and even beat some newer phones but dig deep and you'll see the latest version of the chips are better. Android 2.2 is running perfectly but WP7 is still work in progress.
It's more than a year old but still the best phone EVER.

Well, it's clear now that the HD2 is one of the best phones out there as it's capable of handling nearly the 3 OSs, Thanx for ur help
Any chance for Desire to use WP7 too?
I would be great if it is possible.
I wanna try WP7 too.
The number of devices suported is very limited:
* Google Nexus S
* HTC Desire S
* Sony Ericsson Xperia neo
* Sony Ericsson Xperia pro
Strange decision for skype with only this devices suported ....
Unfortunately video call not suported for my Galaxy S.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...us-s-and-other-select-devices-new-ui-and-sms/
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/30/skype-two-way-video-calling-comes-to-nexus-s-desire-s-xperia-n/
same here, no video on galaxy s..
anyone knows how it identifies the phone? maybe if you modify it's identifier to nexus s it would work?
We need the guys that worked on the Netflix APK to take a look at it. I'd love for this to be on my sensation.
Oddly it doesn't work on the Nexus S 4G.
also now has a running service that doesn't let u close the app.
what is with devs that think their app is so great that you shouldn't be allowed to close it and it must remain constantly running?
Maybe change ur build.prop, like the nerflix app
Please hack this application !!!
could the magic combination be the latest Gingerbread + FFC?
One of the advantages to the latest Ginger, if I recall correctly, was native APIs for a front camera (until now, apps had to be coded for specific camera devices- that's why some video chat apps only supported some hardware).
Are these maybe the only devices running the latest Google update that happen to sport a front camera?
Start hacking! From the skype 2 apk:
Code:
{white:[{name:"HTC Saga", mft:"(?i)HTC",
board:"(?i)saga",
model:"(?i)HTC saga", product:"(?i)htc_saga",
device:"(?i)saga"},{name:"HTC Desire S", mft:"(?i)HTC",
board:"(?i)saga",
model:"(?i)HTC Desire S", product:"(?i)htc_saga",
device:"(?i)saga"},
{name:"Nexus S", mft:"(?i)samsung",
board:"(?i)herring",
model:"(?i)Nexus S",
product:"(?i)soju",
device:"(?i)crespo"},
{name:"Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo",mft:"(?i)Sony Ericsson",brand:"(?i)SEMC",board:"(?i)unknown",
model:"(?i)MT15[ai]", product:"(?i)MT15[ai]_.*",
device:"(?i)MT15[ai]"},{name:"Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro",mft:"(?i)Sony Ericsson",brand:"(?i)SEMC",board:"(?i)unknown",
model:"(?i)MK16[ai]", product:"(?i)MK16[ai]_.*",
device:"(?i)MK16[ai]"}]}
Where's the .apk? Would love to try this out on my Flyer.
Just occurred to me- Nexus S 4G isn't working. Nexus S GSM unlocked is.
Maybe the reason for these specific devices is Skype still has some kind of contract with Verizon for Droid video calling?
I recall Skype video on the Thunderbolt being an exclusive Android offering which VZ apparently paid for. Maybe Skype is allowed to offer Android for other non-US carrier affiliated devices? As far as I know, none of the phones offered are available through a national carrier here, and all have a front facing camera and the latest Gingerbread OS. Maybe I found the pattern?
Anyway, that being said, unlike the thunderbolt version which was heavily tied to that hardware, I bet we can crack this baby open to work on other Ginger devices at least!

Some of the SGS Fellows got it working on their phones... Would it worth to try?
Thanks to theos0o for the work around...
Leave feedback for him!

Yes, you can try it on other devices running 2.3+ with front-cam.
See if it works
doesn't work on Gtablet funning cm 7.1 rc1
One user reported it's running fine on SGS2 too!

From what I recall, Gtablet and CM7 don't work together nicely on the camera side of things.
Maybe try Vegan GE? I don't have it installed now to check.
That was with cm7 not cm7.1 rc the camera issues were resolved.
BTW I have the same error as the atrix guy
Maybe you could try the older build, but chances are it won't work too.
How do i install this?

[Q] Sense 3.0 & Android 2.3 for LG Optimus 3D? possible?
I'v seen that Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3 seems to be working on LG Optimus 2X...
...I know it's theme, but is there a ROM out what supports all features of Sense 3.0 including lock screen / Gingerbread ?
do you see any customroms in this forum for optimus 3d? no? so there is no sense for o3d at the moment in the whole world
you'll have to w8 till there are the first custom roms and then maybe someone of the developers is bored enough to port sense for the o3d
what about 'importing' from older models into newer models stuff, like import sense 3.0 ROM from Optimus 2X? ...or that's no possible to import such stuff?

well... to port sense you'll have to much more than only to copy some files...
htc sense changes deep layers of android so it's not like one of the launchers from marked, it's much more.
it's really hard to extract sense from a htc-rom and to integrate it to another rom. (different hardware -> different drivers)
so it will take a long time till there is sense rom for o3d...
I don't believe there is a Sense 3.0 ROM for any phone that isn't a HTC phone, nevermind this one which has very limited support so far.
It's possible but it's a LOT of work.

well in fact there are some...
for the galaxy s for example. (still buggy)
the main problem is, that it isn't worth to port port it
sense is nice but there are "better" things worth to port them
I'd love a 100% working Sensation ROM, but I'm not expecting it.
Well, you can get:
