Hi guys,
for those whom have had hands on the X1 or happened to have the roms of this device, what apps are nice on them which we can used on our Touch Pro?
I happen to have the roms of these devices. So if there are any goodies in their rom, let me know, i will extract it out.
Mod, please delete this.
Unpacked 4 X1 roms and found nothing useful other than sodoku, bejeweled 2...
not useful at all for a rom with 200+mb in size ...
Thanks...
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.

Toshiba TG01 FTW, yeh the htc touch pro has better software, but if you get the tg01, install the htc roms that our fantastic chefs cook! the one in my signature is IMHO the best sense ROM, gives it a near perfect expeirience to the htc hd2. and its a snapdragon! my friend has the touch hd, very simiiliar CPU to the touch pro and it is much slower. anyway the touch pro has been suceeded by tp2. the screen of the tg01 is wvga, so it is clearer. personally imho the touch pro is outdated and , get the tg01!
ok guys, due to lady bad luck the toshiba was sold and best next one was the htc touch pro. now i need you're help in finding a good os/updates/apps/something to get it 'rollin' . i would like something stable not that ported android beta os. any advice is welcomed.
and thank you oly for that quick response
IMHO,go for the hTC touch pro...Its a good device when you compare it to the Tosh... Also,the service network of Toshiba is in shambles....Need i say more after you read this?
tnks shr. but i have already bought it... now what OS do you recomend? apps.. everything. i am open to advices/links
please i would realy need another rom because this one lag-s!!
Have a look at the one in my Signature.
Also look at newer TAEL 2.5 sense & Energy ROMs.
TAEL ROM is smooth for me but user tweaking & the ability to read instructions & threads makes the diference between good & bad user experiences !
Tarkin Keyboard button driver is a must, will list some more stuff when have 10 minutes to spare, in middle of catching flight so just a quick reply.
oh, thank you very much! i do appreciate it! but unfortunate, i am a noob. i have never flashed a phone. all i had till now where symbian phones. this is first WM and HTC experience for me .
TG01 Roms
Hi I have been roaming around this forum for a few years now.
I too have a TG01, The best bit of advise I can give is to stay away from any win7 roms, the TG was not designed to ever run it. Win7 is very slow.
There are some very good roms out there, I have found that anything from mirolg tends to be stable.
With regards to flashing a new Rom Check out the "how to Guide" in the TG01 section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654674) if you are still finding it a little hard have a search for the problem, but if you still cant work it out drop me a PM.
Hope you have a good time finding your perfect Rom.

We were all virgins to flashing at one point.
Do some research & follow guidelines for 6.5 install & run in period from energy & all should be well ! quite simple really ...
In my opinion 2.1 sense is better option on touch pro but some of the newer 2.5 sense ROMs are supposedly fast but do consume more memory resources & battery power.
Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
For Christmas Santa was very kind to me and gave me a Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro. It has a great keyboard, can record HD video, and has built in wi-fi. The one thing I absolutely hate about this phone is that it runs Symbian.
Some quick Googling showed me that it has not yet been done.
My question is, can android from some other Sony Ericsson Android phones be ported to the Vivaz pro?
Thanks,
Matt
I have the same probem. Symbian sucks;p
Sorry Guys. But There will never be a Android-Version for Vivaz. Maybe wait for Vivaz 2. This will be sold with android.
maybe when the vivaz 2 is out someone will port it to the original vivaz. hopefully
Can anyone post Android from Xperia PRO to Vivaz PRO ... I mean they both have HW keyboard so ... or is even anyone working on porting any Android on our Vivaz Pro? I d love to have android there ...
My friend has SE Vivaz mobile.. Is there any custom Android OS which can be installed on it.??
I've got same problem... I've found out that we can't install Android on our Vivaz, because it needs more than 74 MB of phone memory. I'm sorry to know it and I'm affraid we have to give up
So, my friend owns a Sony Ericsson Aino phone and he's starting to envy my xperia x8 with custom Android 2.2 ROM. Now he's wondering, is it possible to run any Android version in an Aino?
BUMP!!
Please can someone help?
Hi, I think that Sony Ericsson Aino & Satio, doesn't have any posibility to run Android.
I only know, and happily have one, HTC HD2 is the only NO native Android phone, that became an Android fully operational phone.
I have also a Samsung Omnia Pro, and I tried the Andromnia project, but doesn't work fine, only a few accesories works, and is not a fuctional phone.
Bye.
