Hi guys! A long time user and a new member of this incredible forum and website. This is infact the BEST website for android phones.
Being a HTC Desire user for 4 years now, I could keep it alive and breathing with customs roms and tutorials you guys have provided here. My sincerest thanks to everyone responsible for this, especially the developers. Now I think its finally catching up with age and I need a newer handset.
So I'm on a hunt for an used Android phone something which has good hardware, 4G LTE (not required not a plus nonetheless) and is cheap ($100 - $150ish) which has a good support base with developers building new roms frequently. I would be extremely happy if someone could suggest a phone to match my requirements. All suggestions and advice is welcome. Thanks again for being such an awesome community, you guys simply rock!

I know everyone at XDA is extremely knowledgable and are also very friendly and helpful. First, thank you for that, you have made my windows mobile experience amazing. Secondly, I know this is predominantly a GSM forum, however I have some questions reguarding CDMA version of a phone that is coming to the carrier I work for. US Cellular is bringing out their first Android phones, one in the next few weeks, the next in september-ish. Now, good news for anyone with US Cellular, because the Samsung Acclaim is a 2.1 device with 3.2 inch capacative OLED screen, 800MHZ Proccessor, full qwerty PHYSICAL keyboard, and a suite of US Cellular new goodies. Now, heres where I need your help XDA members.
I want to root the device, and I want to make a custom 2.2 rom for the phone. Where do I start? I would like to read up on porting the firmware and all that jazz in the next few weeks here. What do I need to know about rooting? Do I need a Kitchen like WinMo phones? or do I need to use the Android SDK to build an update.zip for it?
please oh please help me with this information. US Cellular doesn't have a lot of support, and I would like my fellow USCCers to have an option for 2.2 ASAP.
Thank you in advance my friends.

Hi guys , it is true that herald is somehow out dated but we can still keep it alive by new looking roms ,sorry i donnot mean to spam or ask for free labor ,we will donate , from me as far as i live in Iran ,we donnot have credit cards to donate but we can done it by clicking and supporting sponserd links
anybody interested in keeping him alive!?
I think I have breathed all the life into the Herald/Wing/Dopod that I can:
I have made the Wing look like Windows Phone 7 (with my Trib7 Suite), like the HTC Evo (with my SPB Snark Edition), like the HTC HD2 (with my TribM2D ROM Set) and I have made Titanium available for the Wing. Not only that I have made it light and fast with my Base ROM with more than 70MB of internal storage.
In retro spect, I hope that new and old users of the device provide more ROMs. But I don't think it is feasible..
Not because of the people using the devices - not at all - but because of the limit to the device's resources and because Microsoft won't be putting out anymore updates: Build 23676 is the latest and greatest from Microsoft as of the 14th of August. After this, I don't believe that there will be anymore updates to work with.
As a challenge, mate, I'd like to see people out there make a ROM with this build.
I'm personally waiting for android to be better completed and then jump completely over to that... which is wing linux.
Still, while the wm 6.x are a huge improvement over what came with the phone and was definitely worth it and appreciated... there are a few bugs that are annoying. It would be great to see those fixed but I don't expect it to happen. The current state is good enough to be better anyway.
I agree
Hi everyone
Dear Tribulattifather or may i call you "the king of the wing"

Your the best !
I found your guide about cooking roms ! the best developer ever ! i will try to put my ideas and make a new rom but not as a challenge !!!!
Thank you; I really appreciate your patronage.
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. I was thinking about getting another Wing again. They're pretty cheap now.
If you make a ROM i'll test it out.
Thats good
Hi
Thanks ! is there any visual emulator of herald so it will help us preventing sudden bricking the phone ?
2- if i wanna use spb shell only i have to put it on cabs folder ?
thanks again
Well, if you plan on making custom firmware for your device you should HardSPL your phone.
But you actually don't need custom firmware for SPB.
There is unfortunately no emulator for our phones, however.
Thanks again .cuz i thought there was some emulator for hd2 , so i will try to collect as many icons as i can ! thanks again
Okay. Cool.
Hey, also, I just bought another Wing
So i'm ready whenever you are
Hi, I'm Korea Android User.
Because of immaturity that we are using English translator known to put a case before. Use For Panteck' s 3rd Android Phone Vega.
Samsung's Galaxy S is released before they were known as the iPhone Killer has the power of prayer is also a smartphone.
However, the application does not require, miscellaneous bugs and incomplete optimization Froyo not last long due to its reputation, its successor Vega X and S were putting out the instrument. And the old Vega (from now on I will say the original Vega.) sitting the cold, and since then there has not been well updated. The original Vega existing users think about this, craft a custom ROM, was the challenge. However, the Vega, a well-known abroad, the phone models that are pretty good, but some out there with a custom rom, Nexus One / Galaxy S, such as ingigit.
So there are many news on the XDA Developer enlisted the help thinking of this post ups. Custom roms do not know how to extract any entry. I am inexperienced in English and doing whatever it is stupid what you're asking for help. If this is a text that is easy to link to you please weigh.

Hello everyone,
Right now I own an HD2, and I am very happy with it.
But my contract expires soon, so I will be able to choose a new phone. But the thing is due to some changes my provider made I thought I would be able to choose a phone in late august. Turns out I could object to the cnages and now I can get my new phone in june.
But now I don't have time to do as much research as I normally would. So that is where I need your advice. What phone would be a worthy succesor for my HD2?
I use my phone mainly for entertainment so for me important things are:
Large internal memory
Good sound quality
Large screen (preferably 4.3 inch)
Speed
Android
Also important is the ability to flash ROM's but when I pick a phone that is already able to flash a custom ROM, it is probably a slightly older phone. But when I pick a very new phone I would just have to hope that it will become popular on XDa and flashing will become an option.
So advice and opinions please!
P.S it even makes me a little sad to get a new phone... I had an Xperia X1 before my HD2, but I had an HD2 based ROM on it so I have been on this forum for a few years now and I've grown attached to it. Kinda pathetic huh?
Oh I have mistakenly put this in the General forum instead of the HD2 General forum. So mods if you find this, please move my thread
I believe HTC Sensation will satify your requirements.
