hi everyone. this is my first post ever :O
I'm thinking, and i want purchase a PDA but I'm having serious problems choosing one
HTC is the only brand I'll be considering but witch brand!!! I'm thing of Sapphire or Topaz. Beside the obvious differences, camcorder, size, ect, i don't know with is better!!
my main questions are:
- Does the Sapphire manage rom's other than the Hero's rom?
- Does the Topaz supports the Sapphire or Hero's rom?
- With of this 2 PDA's will be able to support multi touch? ( I've seen a vid and Sapphire supported it :S )
- Wicth has the best touch screen and why!
- Witch has the best processor?
- Witch has the best accelerometer?
in this "dogfight" who wins
thanks guys

The Magic is an Android OS and the Topaz ? ( Diamond 2 ) is Windows Mobile. The roms are not interchangable, and for now there seem to be more people cooking roms for the Topaz, though that could change.
Before considering anything else about the phones, " do you want Android or Windows Mobile " study up on that decision first.

I've seen the windows OS and didn't find it nothing special, better than the iPhone for miles.
Android has a big advantage because it's developed by the same people that are responsible for Google, and in my opinion it will outgrow W.M.. haven't tried it but i think it's easier to program in Android than W.M.!!
Finally, yes i don´t know what OS will buy!!!!
Welcome to forums
I would stay with WM meantime Android becomes a more solid and mature OS, by now is too young and limited.
Just my opinion,
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.

core of haret is a file called setup.txt where are stored parameters with rom/ram addresses, only thing to do is know this addresses.........
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
Hi to all...
Anyone comeup with a new ROM for HTC Smart F3188 ?
Mate, I don't like your chances of a custom ROM for the HTC Smart, since it doesn't run a smartphone OS, like WM, WP7 or Android. The Smart is actually a DUMBPHONE, like a Nokia 6280 for example.
Thanks budy for your reply.. For me smart is a cool phone as per my budget.. Anyways.. hope I will get something in future..
Since WebOS will be Open Source soon I wondered if it will be possible to build it for the Chacha.
If you take a look on the devices that had WebOS (Palm Pre or Pixi), they all had a keyboard!! So the HTC Chacha might be the best Android device for trying it.
I read in some other forums that people were talking that they could get the hardware drivers from Android (concerning the Nokia N9). So when this is possible, it means that it wouldn't be impossible to make some Chacha port.
Hello to everyone .
I would like to raise up this chalenge for any developer that might be crazy enough to do it
I know this phone is getting older but its my phone and i really like it and soon i will not be able to by a new one, so why not upgrade?
No one tried to port sense 4+ to this phone so I´m asking is it possible ?
Why hasn´t anyone tried to port desire x rom to incredible ? i know cpu is diferent but the other specs are identical.
Here is one stock rom of desire x if anyone is interestend in this adventure.
