serious effort for WM6 on iphone
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hello all!
i was recently gifted an first generation iphone, i hacked it and unlocked it and played around with it. i was not very impressed, the hardware is awsome but the software, i find to be lacking.
at any rate it has sat in a desk drawer for a month or 2 and then i read about that faked video with wm6 on an iphone. i thought to my self why not give it a try? its not like i will be able to buy that touch hd from htc that i wanted...
so i have been doing some research and it looks like there is an arm processor in this thing, which gives me hope. i plan to use a few open source utilities such as ibooter to get an environment on this thing for wm6.
i am wondering what advice people can give me, who have hacked newer versions of WM onto an older device, what to research, what to expect or useful utilities; i have little experience with the bowels of WM.
this will be my first attempt at something this grandiose, but i have surmounted greater challenges in the past. i am not asking for help, however i am more than willing to work with anyone else who is interested.
please keep non-constructive criticisms to yourself, if people didn't try things every time there was doubt we would still be living in caves.
thanks

Good luck! I've got to say the iPhone would be WAY more appealing to me if it ran Windows Mobile. If I were you I'd maybe try and contact some of the ROM cookers in the older device threads like the Blue Angel forum.

Hey STFU!
im guessing that there is no one here that actualy does anything more than just develop applications for WM or troll arround the fourms?
like i said im looking for peoples who have worked with the os itself.
anyone...
anyone...
buler?...
anyone?
I saw somewhere that a Norwegian hacker did it some time ago, it is quite sad, but it is sexy to see WM running on wide screen
Here is where i saw it:

Anyway, good luck with your progress, i want to see it running :3

I saw it too in some other place.. that's amazing!
I just saw the video...that was cool. Looks like you got your answer there ashrond.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but that video is fake,look at the very begining he manages to turn his i-phone on by just tapping on the screen. sadly it's propably just some kind of slideshow presentatio. too bad would have been nice.
Doh!!!!!
Stupid Fake Video!
Threads like this makes me sad, users making threads on this subject to be taken serious and fail to provide any type of commitment to achieve any goal to this subject. what im trying to say simply is... let the god damn roms chefs make threads like this and not the "omg i need WM6, on a toyphone"... i wanted wm6 so i got a phone with wm6 on it. not a god damn phone with ipod crap on it.

wow another jackass who cant read!
like i said i am looking to do this myself, i was simply looking to get a hold of one of these "romcookers" as you ignorantly call them. i swear its people like you that make me wish for the good ol days before all the
""31337 AOL users"" got access and started ****ing things up. do everyone a favor and keep your opinion to yourself.
ps thats the video that i was talking about being fake and giving me the idea to attempt this.
Well if ure serious about this, u could get a piece of advice from users such xplode, mamaich, bepe, tuatara and many many others (speaking as Blue Angel user).
Also, u might rather look in some iphone hacking forum. Furthermore, mind that iphone is quite a closed platform, so it doesnt have any documentation, besides some rev-eng done.
Anyway, there is little chance u will achieve this, and the amount work what is in front of you is more than u might expect. No man could do it alone, in one life.
Srsly, only way to do it, is to steal iphone blueprints form apple, and u will......
w8, didnt u say ur name is Bond?
People may flame you because they are 'die hard' WM fans, and anti-mac or w/e, but I must say that I wish you the best! If somebody were to do this, I would probably end up getting an iPhone. The only thing is, I don't like not having a QWERTY keyboard.
I most likely will have a WM phone for the remainder of my life / cell phone using (unless something really awesome comes out), but I love how smooth and 'error free' the iPhone is. It's just not for me w/ the current OS because you can't easily expand the iPhone as easily as you can a WM phone.
Dear dip****,
Clearly your lack of understanding about the real related undertaking about what you asking is beyond your grasp. its like hopping on a BBS and asking for some guidance on how to do heart surgery, sounds simple... open the chest cavity and do some poking. its not as simple as just droping an app, if it were that simple as to dropping ibooter... then all the 100x groups would have already done it and taken credit for it. i really wish scrubs like you never used the internet, clearly your terrible propaganda on trying to make people believe you would be elite enough to carry such under taking. as i reflect...
ROFL "ibooter to get an environment on this thing for wm6." while you are at it, try using a bios disk to start up the MAC OS on your computer...
you have no ****ing clue what your even up against... at least i am a hardware hacker. what the **** have you done other then post. "i has a dream for WM6 on ipod" thread? Ill learn to read if you learn to stop being a dip****.
Love Smokey

Unless it absolutely cannot be done and it is proven that it cannot be done, why not let people keep on trying. Let them learn what they need to learn to give it a valid attempt. It would be a really intersting to see done; however, I fear that there may be some legal iussues if you are flashing WM to an IPhone - You will have to ensure that you are using a legal registered copy of WM wouldn't you? When we are flashing our current devices we already have WM on them so it is kind of a grey area since we already paid for WM however, putting WM on an IPhone which never had WM????? I don't know.
I say keep searching for your answers though until you can prove or find proof that it cannot be done. GOOD LUCK with your efforts. It may be an incredibly difficult thing to do, or who knows - Maybe it won't be that difficult if you have some kind of breakthrough.
I really can't stand it when people start assuming that they know other people and their "Qualifications" when they don't know a thing about them really. None of us really know anything about each other except for what we may publish in our profiles. Gotta have some faith in people sometimes and stop making assumptions.
Closed this thread.
This is getting out of hand!
The ONLY way to port WM6 is by writing new drivers for the iPhone.
It's not impossible, but it is a monstrous task.
A new thread is only allowed when serious steps are taken regarding (re)writing the drivers.
(So do some investigating on platform-builder!)
Hi people
One of the reasons I bought a Diamond was that I was sure that there would be a lot of development and "funny"-stuff for this device. Like new interfaces and so on. Things that would almost always keep the Diamond new and fresh so that it rarely bores me.
Well there has been a lot of development in these forums and I am very grateful for that. Thanks to alle the developers.
But still it's not as much as I expected to be honest. Don't get me wrong , I don't want to complain or sth. to the nature (That would be more than ridiculous since I am an absolute loser when it comes to developing). Developers do a great job.
But I was waiting for more differnet UI's and stuff to play around with.
So my question is :
What can one expect from the Diamond in the future ? Will such stuff come ?
The reason I ask is that I am thinking about selling my Diamond and get myself something like a Nokia E71. I know that there won't be much of the things I ask for here, but at least the battery is allegedly lasting super-long...sth. the Diamond does not have.
So I am asking you for advice ....Stick with the Diamond because there is a lot more to come ? Or rather sell and buy sth. different ?
I would be grateful for any needful answer.
PS: The reason I put this question into this section is because I thiink it's more a development question rather than a general Diamond one....
Uh Bell UI, Android, apps, themes.

Nobody knows Just wait, u have one of the best PPC right now.
It's like have a Q9540, Asus Extreme, etc...
Dont worry, except tomorrow nVidia release Tegra xD
So I am a new member so I thought I would post a thread for kicks. Sorry if this thread is stupid and angers you. If you ever meet me than beat me up or something. and sorry if this topic has already been posted. I couldn't immediately find it when I looked.
I actually don't even have an Xperia yet, but I am getting it and I have plans to put Touchflo on it as a panel so I can go to it when I want. So whats the best direction to go? Is there even a difference between the Touch HD Manila and the TouchFlo3D that is listed in the "X1 programs, panels, tweaks, fixes [COLLECTION]" thread? I would actually appreciate a legit answer telling me what is going down and which is better and why. Thanks guys (smiley face)
So, you figure that sarcasm works better to deflect the burn?
It's simple. If you want it as a panel, stick with the Touch HD Manila and I believe it was pubba's (not sure!) TF3D panel plugin. In any event, that's what you're looking for.
Now, try using a nicer tone next time.
Thanks man. But sorry, I didn't mean to come off as rude. I was just saying that I hope no one gets upset with my thread because I didn't want anyone coming in bashing on me because the question was stupid or the thread was pointless. I am kinda clueless so I didn't want to anger anyone.
but the real question was whether the touch hd manilla or the touchflo3d was better and why. but atleast now I know that whatever one I go with I will be able to set it as a panel
Touchflo 3d (Or TF3D) is the name of the interface that HTC uses on their current phones. So, that's basically always the same. Differences lie in the build of touchflo, or version.
The Touch-HD TF3D is one that works well on the X1 as it uses the same resolution, 800x480 (or WVGA). A panel has been created for it. The other Touchflo3d you find on this forum is probably also based on the Touch HD TF3D.
Currently under development is the "Rhodium" TF3D, or TF3D2. The big change here is that it has full landscape support. More information on that one can be found in the sticky by Daran_clarke. Problem here is that it probably (unconfirmed to me) won't work with the panel plugin, as it differs quite some from TF3D1.
Enough info?
I will not talk about hardware....
I will speak of something else
The touch hd2 is a brilliant phone
I got it since i had my touch pro 2 stolen and this is my 6th windows mobile device.
It is the first windows mobile phone that in my opinion will be used by the mass population...
This is good and bad
The good thing is that we will see more software since more and more companies will not lose the chance to make some bucks from a device used by a lot of people.We will see more games and i think that they will use multitouch too.
On the other side being a more "public phone" means that a lot of clueless people will get it.
That means people that thing of it as a nokia phone and will never look for what it can offer
Our leo is an awesome device but it is not only a mobile phone
It has glitches that people that will only use it for phone and some games will find unbearable.
Things that will be ok after a new rom will be like mountain to climb for them.
Yes we will have to answer in stupid questions for us...
On the other hand people should know that all of us don't get paid neither by the site nor htc to have the obligation to answer to rude people.
So when new roms will arise we will have a lot of people with bricked devices or with problems that will think it is bricked
To all of you then...
FIRST READ THE WIKIS
WE ARE NOT STUPID NOR WE HAVE ALL THE TIME OF OUR LIVES TO DO THAT BUT WE DO
We do it because it is dangerous for our 600€ device not to do so.
And of course if you do not take the time to read the wikis why should anyone take the time to answer your questions.
Something else and this will be the las one.
Please don't answer questions that will be written in the wikis
Just answer read the wiki
That way you will do good to the too
As they say in my country
Don't give a poor person a fish....
Learn him how to fish and give him the tools...
How right i was then
Now more and more problems arise...
People that never say thx to rom cooks
People that think it is an obligation of other people to realease various staff...
It's inevitable....
Poor hd2 some people mistake you for the iphone
More and more people....
How can you say if iphnone or hd2 is better
You can't measure a center back and a offender
uh...... I LOVE MY HD2
Urmm... Where is this thread going?
or have i missed the point?
Hahahaa....
I am over here CRACKING UP.
wtf lol
funny, i still prefer my orbit2. find it more user friendly.
I had my hd2 for 2 months and i love it. But, im getting very disappointed that it's lacking in apps and community support unlike the andriod and iphone os. I see poplur apps that are available for android and iphone but not wm. i am starting to wish i never got the hd2 and really wish i knew about the evo thats coming out soon.
on top of that i see the phone on ebay has really dropped in price to about £270 ($411)
so is it possible to put android on hd2?
Wow
Before you get blasted for making a post and not searching let me give you some advice, Search! There are a LOT of threads about Android on HD2, it's not there yet but it is being worked on. Really, type Android in the search bar and you will see all the threads asking the same thing, good luck
*INSERT GENERIC FLAME HERE*
Your luck i just dont have the energy today
While we are on this topic, is it possible to use my HD2 as a vacuum cleaner?

If you used the search functions (like most people) you would find your answer.
If you did this simple thing you would find that at this time, its not yet possible, HTC have the best group of developers on it but are having some trouble with the porting or something.
I'm just a few days away from being able to use my HD2 as a micro-oven

I bet your cooked ROMs will taste delightful!
Off: I succeeded in using my HD2 as a condom yesterday! Took me ages to port every bit of information...
On: Let's assume you haven't read the forum rules, thus you wouldn't know about the built in Search function. There`s Google. Why not Google for something (such as "android on hd2")? After all, it`s much easier to type and to read than typing a long post on a board where you need an account and where you need to wait for others to answer your question...
At least he searched the price of the HD2 on ebay...
i bet you guyz are unfriendly , help him if not *********** ,......,
anyway its still under development and needs some time i can say its 40 % to its full
potential

It also really surprised me to see the price of HD2 drop down so quickly. Maybe mostly because not so many people can get on well with HD2, which is the best phone I've ever bought.
Easy on the flaming guys. Im sure he understands now. For all u know, u might just drive someone away from xda with negative thoughts......where as this is one of the most helpful community.
Like yourself I'm a new HD2 owner. I can understand why you might think there's a lack of apps for our device, when devices like the iPhone have 160,000+ apps. However I've found four different GPS nav apps out there (Igo, CoPilot, TomTom and Garmin), an app to make a flashlight out of your camera LEDs, a registry editor, a voice-dialler, a metal detector, a decent file explorer, a media player etc etc etc. The question needs to be asked, how many media players / file explorers / gps apps do you need on your device? For me, one of each is more than enough. Many of the iPhone apps are just double-ups of the same functionality.
After getting my phone I spent the next week on XDA searching for apps, themes, tweaks and games, trying them out and working out what works and what doesnt.
My HD2 is now running and looking mint, and I've got more games than I know what to do with. As the others in this thread have already pointed out, you do need to take the time and use the search function.
As for support, you couldn't be more wrong - it was the emmense wealth of knowledge of XDA-developers that gave me the confidence to buy the HD2. It will take you time to find the info you're looking for in these forums, but the answers are there, and you'll end up with a superior phone to the iPhone if you're prepared to give it a chance.
Drop me an email on [email protected] if you'd like to know where to find the bits you're after.
Not only he did not serch .. but hes speling sux too. !
This is one of the funniest Android response threads that I've read lmao. At least the repsonses were good natured and not hateful like some other threads have been. And I hope the OP didn't get scared away, he should think of it as his initiation. And Im sure a lot of Senior users had at least one noobie moment in the beginning.
When I had my Shadow/Juno and started modding my first post was "where is the windows folder"
