Which iphone theme

Wrong forum................
redrazr7791 said:
Hey guys, newbie here, just purchased a HTC touch for sprint about a month ago and am looking to add the iphone theme to my phone. My question is with so many different versions for the theme, which one would be the easiest to install on the TOUCH. Im a little on the "iffy" side when it comes to installing programs on my phone, for the simple reason that i would hate to mess it up and somehow have to get a new phone. Any opinions or comments would be appreciated.

Android has the best games
Google
When I first got my vogue I used google to search around and find programs and games. Search around on xda and maybe ppcgeeks using the search built into the sites. As for installing programs you can usually install .cab files from active sync or you can use active sync to copy over the cab file and install it manually. Eventually you'll most likely want to give android a try and possibly Windows Mobile 6.5. Read and research because there are a lot of forums and a lot of answers already out there.

He is referring to the Android OS for mobile phones.
android
android is google's operating system for smart phones. some very talented people here have ported it over to work with the htc touch (vogue).

I am keeping my 128Mb Uni too, just moved to Xperia with HD port ROM - TF3D etc. So yes, I will be popping in from time to time as well. My Uni will always be my Toy of the Year.... nevermind the year
Actually, I prefer reading my books and watching my movies on my Uni due to the screen size.

Did'nt i see a thread, of yours with a poor uni in-pieces after some abuse over a phine ?
That was my second Uni, I talk about my primary Universal I have three of them

Is there much point getting one now?

I'm thinking of buying the HTC HD2 but is there much point now, if it won't be getting updated and newer and better phones are coming out?
I'm looking at it as it has the biggest screen(besides the streak which im also considering, but much more expensive)
What would you suggest?

if you actually like winmo as it is, with the way windows phone 7 is shaping up the hd2 could become a very valuable antique.

What has been your phone history? And what do you use or intend using the phone for?
WM, iphone and android suit different ppl and WP7 looks weird imho...
well if you have the patient to wait until the end of 2010 or so, just wait. i didn't have or why don't you try Evo?

Over the last couple of years, ive only used the bold 9000, HTC Desire and iPhone 4, however i sent back the iphone 4 as the ui is getting very boring.
I use the phone more for texts and internet than phone, i primarily want to use it for web browsing, thats why the streak appealed to me, but this is cheaper, im just worried about updates, and the lack of official support after WP7

I can't wait until the end of 2010 i have no phone at present lol. Also im in the UK so the Evo is a no go otherwise i would definitely have it.
if you like bets, get one now.
If the bet goes well, you will buy a "cheap" device which will get a fully functional froyo OS on it when the android devteam has completed the job, and be almost at the level of the Evo, without its bulkiness... and before the thing goes out and the demand increases, making the prices go higher.
If the bet goes bad, you still get a cheap but powerful device with WM on it
Anyway, given my experience with the device, and the market which is available for italy, I would get it again now as well.

Try before you buy my friend.
I've been using winmo for years and I love it. The HD2 is my favorite device yet.
Winmo users generally love to tweak. These forums make tweaking fun and you can usually get whatever you need, want and more for your phone if you're willing to search for it.
That being said, some find winmo and the HD2 an utter frustration. Some lament about buying the HD2 because it doesn't do everything right out of the box.
So if you like to customise, tweak and experiment, you may just love the HD2.
If you like something that works to it's full potential right out of the box, but may not be quite so custimisable and tweakable, perhaps another platform would be better.
i really NEVER recommend ppl a windows phone.. except i know that he can handle it.
i dont know u, so i would recommend android
u NEED to know what u do when u are using winmo, or u will hate it
The more I read about WM7, the more I am glad I have a WM6.5 phone, and I'm not planning to 'upgrade' to such a locked down platform.

I love tweaking, which is another reason for considering this phone, and which is why i got rid of the iPhone 4.
I love the idea of registry tweaks, which may sound weird, and i also love the idea of a winmo device being just like windows on the pc (regarding registry tweaks).
And regarding having everything work out of the box, i find that very boring, im always looking to do new things with a phone.
The only problem i am seeing is the future updates, looking at Android they are going to have constant updates, but obviously winmo 6.5 is not. however if i know that winmo will be getting unofficial updates from devs etc i will be more than happy to buy the HD2.
Thanks for all the replies so far.
Ok, i went ahead and bought a HD2, hopefully i'll enjoy it.
Please post your experiences with the phone.
And how much did you grab it for? US or non?
if you need big screen then definitely go for hd2. i was in your position. but screen size was a dealbreaker. had there one android phone with screen as big as this, i wouldn't have bought hd2

Yes, the screen was probably the main reason for buying this phone.

i have to say i agree about the screen.. i have a hd2 and my friend got a desire soon after me.. the screen estate difference is just HUGE...
and i recently ran the android test build side by side with his phone screen beside mine.. the difference just got worse coz the widget icons are much smaller in android compared to the quick link icons in winmo..

Awesome, i cant wait for my HD2 now .
I was getting sick of the headaches after surfing the web on my iPhone 4 due to the small screen.
good choice.....
you made a good choice op. hd2 is my first wm phone and i'll admit, i love it. the tweaking on the phone is good fun. at the moment im running CHT and SPB Mobile Shell side by side as well as having loads of other little tweaks to make the phone my own. theres a ton of really good apps and software floating about the net.
The only bad point i can think of is Opera's non support of 10.1 for wm6.5. Skyfire's pretty usefull for flash though so all's not lost. i'm sure you will love your new phone bud......

Thanks, i hope so, i've never seen anyone else with one
Only 2 good phones to get
HD2 - Windows
Evo - Anaroid
I love my Htc HD2

HTC Inspire (AT&T) - Looks a little different

I got to play with an HTC Inspire today....looks just like our evo but the whole back door and battery thing is a dumb desgin but besides that I took a few pics of the menue and the system info take a look, something i saw that was pretty cool was a "power saver" option in the settings

Great. So what are you developing? Porting the ROM perhaps?
im not a huge dev, and still learning...i didnt kno if anyone else knew much about it and it was worth the time to try and port it over..

Let me rephrase that for sirmx... This is posted in the wrong section. This belongs in general discussion as it doesn't relate to development.
The ROM has already been ported...check out the 'Desire' ports and they have the same Sense version as that Inspire...not trying to be rude but once again, wrong section, and useless post.
