[Q] I'm a Microsoft fan boy and I'm scared of Android! - HTC Sensation

I'm scared of Android... I know what it can do and I love it but I've got WP7 on my HD2 and im having nightmares about the switch over. I've pre-ordered the sensation through Vodafone and deep down can't wait for it to arive but......... I just can't get my head around Android!

I love my HD2 with WM6.5. Of all the ways you could've modded the HD2 you chose WP7? That's like 10 steps back from even WM6.5. That's iPhone version 1 stuff right there.

Just (Like today) put Android 2.3.3 on the hd2 and I'm loving it..... HyperDroid-GBX-v12..... now I really can't wait for the sensation.
I've gotta say WP7 is just so easy to use but I have to agree Android is the way forward.
I want my Sensation NOW!!!!!

don't forget that places like xda are for those who want to take advantage of the open source code...most people with Android phones just turn them on, use them, and love them, without knowing that there can be hundreds and hundreds of questions on how-to's
a computard friend recently went form blackberry to android and learnt to use it within a couple of days
just remember to use the phone how it wants to be used, not to try to make it do things like you would in WP7

i have the hd7 and i can say wp7 is getting to feel like a routine life. its only so much you can do.i miss andriod mainly because of htc sense. i been having my eyes on the sensation it looks amazing. im not sure weather to get the sensation or the flyer i been dying for a tablet. can anyone make a suggestion wich one would be a better choice? and also will the sensation come with htc locations?

it would great to see htc locations on the flyer that would be epic gps on that big screen

So you have an HD2 with Sense (and previously WM6.5). With the Sensation you'll have Sense on Android. Trust me when I say you'll love it. Android is fantastic and with Sense on top it'll make your transition easy.

Shipping HTC EVO 4G ROM released into the wild

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
dont know if this is useful to us or not....
why is that an .exe file?
Yea, I also don't believe this is much use to us with the Desire ROM being out. Sense 2.1, is always Sense 2.1, unless Sprint made some modifications.

HTC phones on sprint(that I know of) use EXE files to install or update a rom its an app that puts the phone in bootloader mode to flash the device. looks fishy but its legit.
Both 2.1 update for the samsung moment and HTC Hero were EXE files not .img files
I could careless about sprint. I hate them
Doesn't this ROM include 720p video recording?
If they can port this over to HD2 I might have to say good bye to my N1.

why would you want this on an hd2? the evo is a better phone, just go get it instead.
The format looks similar the windows mobile updates.
If I knew the drivers would work with the HD2 I would flash it.
... yeah I've got an HD2 paper weight ... After owning a Nexus ... what was I thinking.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Thanks for using your head.
Now if anyone extracts 720p video recording and wifi access point tethering app (although the latter is probably sprint only) That'd be sweet.
Why does that say Supersonic? Isn't that a different phone?

saying the HD2 had android so you could compare apples to apples... The N1 is still better, the screen maybe smaller, but its brighter and cleaner looking with the amoled screen... everything else is the same

I have both and I will say Android on the HD2 would rival the NExus One nicely.
my tmobile rep said the name "supersonic" was dropped at one of his conference calls. I would wait for an Evo-like device to drop on a GSM sometime soon (T-mobile).
Come on guys...stop talking stupid crap. I've been hunting the forums trying to figure out if an android cook is coming for hd2, and all i keep seeing are you so-called 'experts' saying things like:
"why would you want android on hd2, buy such-and such"
"wait for the next GSM phone from Tmo"
Well, WHAT THE HELL MAN? Where's the pioneering spirit of the developers I know and love?? Where's the desire to rise to the challenge of porting to a WinMo phone??
There are many T Mobile customers out there who are being offered a good upgrade discount to get an HD2. Why would we all just abandon that and run off to get an unlocked whatever for $500??? Shut up on that please...
Second, no one's waiting for the next anything. What's the point of waiting? No matter what phone you get, it'll be obsolete in 12 months anyway...
SO SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE GET CRACKIN ON AN ANDROID ROM FOR HD2!!!!!!!! Many HD2 owners have already said we'll pay for it...someone will make some money...
And someone in here PLEASE put up a LINK to anything about HD2 android stuff...
geez, XDA is going to the dogs ...seriously though, it was never this hard to get help when the G1 came out (and spare me the obvious "G1 was made for Android" drivel)...

HTC HD2 vs HTC Desire

Hi guys,
I wanted to buy Desire but just found out about HD2 Android development, I really love the big screen of HD2 so just wondering do you think it will be able to run Android as good as Desire in future?

Don't count on it.
Get the HD2 for it's Winmo 6.5.5 which is better than the overhyped android
It's an OS for serious people, not kids who need fart apps.
It does everything you need in a portable device.
You need to decide why you have such a phone though, Anrdoid may be what you need.

Actually WinMO has no future thanks to Microsoft's stupid policies! I used to have a HD2 just traded it since I wasn't able to find a decent VNC Client on it! Just been dying to see Android on HD2, the videos posted today looks really great, it seems developers are near a great working build!
@Eienkei
Try realvnc! There are a lot of VNC-clients
@Topic
Hd2, because it's LCD is better than the PenTile AMOLED!
Leo all the way!!!
Since Winmo 6.5 is dead walking, HD2 depends on XDA-Developers only! Hope they don't let us down!!!
I previously had an HD2 before I bought my Desire and to be honest with some of the ROMs that you can get from here it was almost on Par with the Desire, the screen is gorgeous and I loved being able to use it in landscape, only thing that was a killer for me was the lack of Spotifiy which I use a lot so Android seemed the way to go, but I'd still consider picking up another HD2 again as a plaything if I saw one cheaply.
I could also choose between the hd2 and desire, I chose the hd2 mainly for the huge screen. A friend of mine chose the desire instead of the hd2 because of the better app store for android. I suggest to simply try them out in a shop. To me xda is just as good as the android app store, so I'm happy with my decision.
If what you want is android, get the desire.

They say Desire HD is on the way, it sports 4.3 inch display! It would be amazing! But still, HD2 is here right away!!!

Anyone think there will be WP7 on the MT4G?

I have been eying the mytouch4G and the HD7 for a while now and what I really like about the HD7 is that it has Windows Phone 7 (which seems nice and it seems to have nice gaming support)...so I also noticed the MT4G has better specs, so I was wondering if I get the MT4G, I would like to put WP7 on it if possible...anyone think its possible or anyone workin on somethin like that already?...or is it a stupid idea? haha...let me know
-thanks!
Windows? Oh man, no way! I came from an HD2 and the HD7 looks so ugly. IMO
But the developers here just might do it.
myTouch4G (Glacier)
Windows mobile is closed sourced like Sense UI, they can't port it due to lack of drivers that would be needed to make the phone work. But that doesn't mean you can't put android on WP7 phones, you can put android on Iphone too.
Yeah, but he's saying he likes the mT4G specs.
Looking at the HD7 i think it's pretty sweet looking - more true to HTC's "usual"design vs the (previously lame & teeny) myTouch models, and similar to the HD2. I'm just glad the Glacier feels so solid or I'd be looking at the HD2 or keeping the Vibrant.
This isn't a WP7 discussion, but unless MS releases regular & beefy updates you're going to be stuck with the likes of orig Android or iOS 1.0 - it appears to be lacking quite a bit, but if MS keeps on it then it may have a chance. If you're that interested in WP7 then consider the HD7 and put Android on it to boot.

I think you are referring to Windows Mobile....the HD7 does not have windows mobile like the HD2.. the HD7 has Windows Phone 7 (MS' new mobile operating system)...It looks pretty nice and smooth and is built upon specific specs which helps control quality and efficiency...also the gaming support its proclaiming is nice also as the MT4G has great specs (except the 'LCD' screen haha), but it does not have the gaming support for that level of hardware (at least not yet)...
S o my concern here would not so much be to put Android on the HD7 (which should be pretty easy considering the HD7 has basically the same hardware as the HD2), but my concern would be more of whether I could (or would be able to) put WP7 on the higher specc'd phone (the MT4G in this case)...but hearing that they use proprietary drivers makes me think it might not be as easy to put WP7 on the MT4G....
No!!!

jp, hahah..sorry... I just figure that nothing is impossible, so while some may say no...some may still try but I now understand how difficult it may be and why some may say no...
I know that when WM was MS's mobile OS, I did not see any natively Android phones bothering to boot up WM, but since WP7 is seemingly such an improvement - I was thinking maybe the tables may turn...?
Thanks for all the responses though...interesting stuff..
Wp7 an improvement over Android...?
You should probably just return any and alll phones you have for an iPhone with that outlook....

and that since Android was a nice alternative OS for WM, now maybe Android users might think that WP7 might be nice to try out on their phone (or somethin along those lines)...

In my case i'm torn because I am a dev. I love android OS and dev on it as a hobby but I am a .net / windows developer as a trade and its really much easier to dev in .net (Visual studio is 10x better than eclipse) than c++ or Java IMO so I too would like to have the ability to stay on my sweet android os, but boot over to dev when i need to. yes yes, i know i can do emus, but its not a substitute for running on actual hardware.
Considering that the myTouch hasn't even been rooted yet I would say putting any other operating system on it would be a helluva feat!
This turned into a spiffle... I am almost afraid to jump in, but.... I got to. I think the ability to put WP7 on the MT4G would be friggin sweet. Now, now... I know some of you think "Why would someone want to do that"? Because we do, ok?
Freedom of choice baby! It's a beautiful thing!
Edit***
Just searching around for some Home apps and stumbled across these win 7 launchers.
Windows Phone Android Lite - haven't tried yet...
7 Launcher - Running now.. a little slow but eeehhh.. it's ok.
Android Seven Lite - Not WP7, rather Windows 7 emulator. Looks decent...
Sorry to reopen such an old thread~
But heres a link to a stable WP7 rom for the mytouch4G, if anyone was still looking for it. Its very smooth.

That's MIUI with a WP7 theme
If Microsoft went open source, the possibility of WP7 is slim since I assume you'd need to port the drivers to work.

How is the HTC HD2 "not as good" lol... Have you seen the dev community on it? I'd wager it's one of the most supported phones here on XDA. Certainly a hell of a beast too even if it does come with winmo. They've fixed that slight oversight on htc's part by replacing it with android

I had my sony ericsson x1 replaced with an x2. It has 6.5 and I still love the OS. It's truly a powerful platform if you have the need for it.
Meanwhile, I have an android device as my daily phone. The hardware that came out last year blows much of the 528MHz processor based winmo devices, like the x2 and the touch pro 2, out of the water. Advanced hardware coupled with an OS that was optimized for mobile chipsets, I find android fairly customizable and strikes a nice balance of a serious business tool and a digital media consumption device. Amazingly, it can do this while still performing its duties as a phone about 90% of the time.
Long story short: I like winmo 6.1-6.5.3 just as much as I like android 1.6-2.2.1. (I also like Symbian.)

CM7 wtf else....
I would suggest purchasing an HD2 if you want the best of both world. If you want to show off to your buddies with the big screen and dual booting capabilities then go for it.
People would always ask what phone I was using because it was so big and sexy looking. It made all the guys feel insecure and girls say, "wow, that's big!" And I would tell them, "I'm used to carrying around big things in my pants."
Funny thing is nobody says much about my myTouch now. I lost my mojo...

You listed the reasons why people like HD2, it's development it amazing and the phone is nice to use...And the Sensation or any Android won't be getting WP7, Winmo or any closed source projects. Publicly porting WP7 is illegal and Microsoft or whoever will send the dev a cease & desist letter or email. You are not allowed to port Windows ROMs to non windows phone(Android, iOS,etc).

My HD2 finally went out on me. The touchscreen no longer works.
I have never been so sad about a phone ever.
Don't know if I'll get it fixed.
It was an amazing phone.
I flashed so many roms with it.
It started all this craziness for me.

What is so special about the HD2, is the ability to run so many dif roms/ports. It is a devs dream phone to work with. It is also very easy to flash rom/radios onto. It is so easy even I did it several times with mine, and I am really stup-it when it comes to stuff like that.
The phone has its quirks.. but overall it is a great phone. I had mine for 3 years before I sold it ($350. thats more then I paid for it new BTW) and never had a single problem with it. I would still have it if not for the Sensation.
It really is to bad that wp7 had to ruin the run/development of win op platform. There are so many possibilities still to be developed for it. Take a look at the HD2 forums and it is amazing what they have done and continue to do with that op system.
Ok then how about HTC Wizard? I have mine now...and the battery still keep alive about 4 hours...
Mine is Qtek branded - basically HTC's commercial brand in those times...
Remember that Wizard has started with WM5 and they put even wm6.5 on it...(to not mention wm6.0, and wm6.1). I dont think they managed to run WMP7 on it...
From my oppinion Wizard was a phone that will go in history with glory.
That cute slide keyboard...
Was to bad the absence of an internally GPS but paired with a Nokia LD-3W bluetooth GPS was perfect...

What is so special about the HD2, is the ability to run so many dif roms/ports. It is a devs dream phone to work with. It is also very easy to flash rom/radios onto. It is so easy even I did it several times with mine, and I am really stup-it when it comes to stuff like that.
The phone has its quirks.. but overall it is a great phone. I had mine for 3 years before I sold it ($350. thats more then I paid for it new BTW) and never had a single problem with it. I would still have it if not for the Sensation.
It really is to bad that wp7 had to ruin the run/development of win op platform. There are so many possibilities still to be developed for it. Take a look at the HD2 forums and it is amazing what they have done and continue to do with that op system.

Wow, I didn't realise it has maintained so much value... I should sell mine, after all it is a great phone.

My HD2 finally went out on me. The touchscreen no longer works.
I have never been so sad about a phone ever.
Don't know if I'll get it fixed.
It was an amazing phone.
I flashed so many roms with it.
It started all this craziness for me.

The exact same thing happened to my HD2 a couple of weeks ago. I believe it will cost me $100 to replace the digitalizer, but not sure if it's worth replacing as my back-up phone.

Ok then how about HTC Wizard? I have mine now...and the battery still keep alive about 4 hours...
Mine is Qtek branded - basically HTC's commercial brand in those times...
Remember that Wizard has started with WM5 and they put even wm6.5 on it...(to not mention wm6.0, and wm6.1). I dont think they managed to run WMP7 on it...
From my oppinion Wizard was a phone that will go in history with glory.
That cute slide keyboard...

+1 for the HTC Wizard. Is was my first smartphone (T-Mobile MDA). The wizard is the OG gangsta of smartphone modding.

I doubt that any device can top the hd2 in development at this point .. Winmo 6.5/6.5.3, wp7/7.5, ubuntu, android 2.1/2.2/2.3, win95, sense 2.0/2.1/3.0/3.5 and probably when ics source code released it will go on it too .. totally loved that phone

I love my hd2's so much I have 2 as my "backup" phones I probably flash at least twice a week on them. The funny thing is of the 7 phones I've been through this year alone I can happily say the HD2 is the only phone that has never let me down and is still mine and my g/f's "go to" phone whenever our dailies take a crap or am awaiting to get a replacement or between phones....
I realize they are not pulling off some 4,000+ quadrant scores but at the same time none of my other phones have stayed intact or lasted as long as my HD2's have...I'm actually glad HTC provided all the crappy quirks such as sleep of death lcd, hardware button failures, short battery life and most importanly WinMo 6.5 and crappy initial firmwares as it only accelerated development for a means to Android on the HD2 Plus not to mention all the people that unknowingly sold their "bricked" hd2 for dirt cheap(as low as $75 in my neck of the woods on CL).
I hope my answer satisfies the OP.
Sorry guys, I am closing this thread as it does not belong to the SENSATION forum...
