is this a right choice or i am wrong [samsung omnia 2] has 800 mhz processor instead of 528 mhz [htc hd has ] but does it differs allot in the speed of device and graphics please tell me and does the type of processor also make effect in speed [htc has qualcom --- samsung has marvell ]

I would better think about waiting for the Toshiba TG01! It has a 1GHz Snapdragon Processor and a 4.1inch screen!!!
You can see some preview videos on yout...! The video playback is extremely smooth and programs are starting right after clicking on it.
The TG01 also has a special screen from the television branch for a really good quality!
I´ll sell my Touch Hd next week on ebay and on 29.June or 30.June I´ll buy the Toshiba TG01 exclusive at the German O2 shop.
Ok the homescreen panel is not so beautiful but I am using the SPB Mobile Shell 3 so thats no problem for me
does anyone actually know what the battery life is like on the tg01, that is one of my major concerns.
The processor will make a difference, but the main reason for me to buy the Omnia 2 is the camera.
You won't have Touchflo anymore (at least for some time) but the Samsung software seems to be pretty good, perhaps even better than Touchflo (though I'm not a fan of cube interfaces).
I think the Omnia 2 will be the perfect phone for me with the better camera, a bit more speed and good battery life.

I had already a pre-selling version of the white tg01 in my hands (damn is this a big device compared to my HD and iphone but has as half as the thickness of the HD!!!) but of course I wasn´t able to test the battery life. But I think it´ll be good because you can choose in the options menu of toshiba that the phone should itself automaticaly slow down the procesor if there is not much speed needed and the new screen should also use less battery life (so the man at the o2 store told me that with the screen so I don´t know if it´s real^^)
Does anyone knows any better facts about it?
very impressive processor speed, but how bout the ROM and RAM size. So far I have yet to see any device that matches HD's 512MB ROM and 288MB RAM (other than HTC own Window Mobile range). It may not be relevant but to me, I feel somehow that RAM/ROM play some part too..
I am also considering the Omnia 2. I like the faster processor and AMOLED display,which in theory is much better than HD, especially in outdoor.
However, there is no mention of its RAM or ROM. There is internal storage of 2 - 16GB but not sure if this is the same as ROM.
Also, HTC qualcom is supported by Coreplayer. Not sure if the Samsung processor will be. I know frame rate might not be a problem but if the hardware is not supported, picture quality will suffer.
I am concerned with the build quality of HTC HD as I have to service mine only after two months. A search on the net suggested there are a number of HD users with hardware problems also.
I just hope Samsung mobile phones have better quality.

i think that the type of the processor also is important not only its speed [like computer processors we have two processors have same speed but one acts faster than the other it depends how it is made and the compatibility of the programs with it

Rom and Ram size is nearly the same! 512MB Rom and 256MB RAM. (I´m talking about the Toshiba TG01
So I´ll wait till it comes out on the 29th this month in germany and then I´ll buy it...
Hey I found someting really interesting: The Acer M900!
What do you think about this device???
PocketNow said the acer felt cheap, and i think it has less memory than the HD, which is a bummer. The only upside about it are US 3g bands.
acer's soft ware sucks and no thing is like htc even the partially good samsung omnia 2

Did you see the videos of TouchWiz 2.0? Looks like it goes a lot deeper than TouchFlo. I think the Omnia II could be a lot better than HTC's phones.
Ok I´ll forget the acer...80MB Ram
So I´ll buy the Toshiba TG01 when it´s available in Germany at the 29.06. and than I will see how good it is. If it´s not good enough I can also sell it somewhere and buy me the touch pro 2 instead of it
I used to have the omnia and would never buy a samsung again. Apart from the excellent camera I hated it particulary because of the poor battery life...I had to charge it everyday. Plus the touchscreen wasn't that responsive and I kept losing the stylus because there was no storage on the phone. Im happy with the HD at present albeit it's not perfect.
I just bought and sold a Samsung i8910 (Omnia HD). Symbian just doesnt cut it as a touchscreen OS for me.
However, the AMOLED screen was gorgeous, even though it was lower res than the HD, it still looked that little bit crisper and more vibrant. Definitely a feature worth looking into for our next devices. Omnia 2 looks the part, but Samsung have notoriously poor resale value compared to HTC/Nokia etc as well as not having ROM cooks like on xda (unless im mistaken..).
The i8910HD would have been the perfect phone with WM (or Android) instead of Symbian....
It's a shame that they put such a bad OS on the only phone with perfect hardware... I hate Samsung for this (but I'll probably buy the Omnia II anyway...).
The i900 Omnia is/was probably one ofthe best-selling WM device ever and there is some ROM-cooking going on, e.g. over at modaco.com.
I think with the Omnia II and Omnia HD, the Samsung community will grow a lot.
What is AMOLED and is it possible to run word excel etc files on symbian?

it would be better in some things but not in all hd is bigger in screen touch flo is bitter and easier hd has extra rams to be used for graphics acceleration and enhance speed as said by gsm arena
Well, 0.1" doesn't matter, and it still has the same resolution. It has a faster processor, thus the RAM also won't matter, graphics acceleration will probably be faster.
TouchFlo is nice, but I think the Samsung interface is at least as good, it goes a lot deeper than TouchFlo (but doesn't look as nice).
I'm still undecided, maybe I'll stick with the HD and wait for something that's even better than the Omnia II.

I'm looking to replace my Magician with the Trinity. I've had some good times with my Magician and have been extremely happy with it. The Trinity has everything I want in an upgrade, but I'm worried about its processor compared to the Intel XScale 416MHz. How does the Samsung 400MHz compare? Has anyone owned the Magician as well that can compare the two? I want something at least as fast as the Magician for use in windows apps, and gaming performance in particular. If anyone has been able to play with both devices I would really appreciate your thoughts about the speed compared between the two.
Thanks
I'm also interested, having a Magician. I'm looking for a good reason (or rather excuse) to upgrade!
I don't have a Magician, but if you find a benchmark you'd like me to run on my Trinity, I'd be more than happy to help you compare them.
please use sk tools. Benchmarking is possible with trial version.
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_downloads.html#tools
Thank you,
I upgraded from a Magician to the black beauty Trinity...
And haven't regretted it for a minute. The only downside for me was that i had to get used to a dutch OS instead of english, because in the Netherlands a WWE version is sadly not available.
As far as performance goes, i can tell you that literally everything on the Trinity runs smooth, fast en stable. Of course there are some fine-tuning bugs to be ironed out, but hey: was the Magician that good on it's first ROM ?
The only things that have annoyed me so far, are the horribly slow response to scrolling using the wheel (and the Dpad aswell in fact), and the fact that we have to deal with the MS BT stack which will always have it's bugs and annoyances.
The processor can do a lot at the same time without slowing the device down (only exception being A2DP), and i was pretty suprised how much i could install into main memory on this device. It has around 60 Megs free storage at first use, and that's almost double the size of the 'storage'partition on the initial Magician (half of the 64 Megs RAM).
Batterytime is also significantly better than that of a Magician (even so with having a UMTS radio on all the time), and the screen is just awesome
WiFi has great reception, and the device is much nicer to handle than a Magician due to it's more rounded curves and bigger/more buttons and WM5 being much more focused to one-handed operation (which works very nice).
Absolutely great device i must say, so i'll recommend: take the plunge !
I just hope that a well-tuned ROM that fixes the little annoyances will be released soon, so this baby can take me through at least the next 3 years. If that ROM contains GPS as well, it'll make the P3600 the ultimate killer device (but i can live without, as using a BT GPS mouse works just as well for me).
Benchmarking

Thanks Moaske. Yes, I agree that no PDA is perfect from the first ROM. What I am concerned about is about HTC releasing ROMs, or rather their lack of doing so. I purchased my Jam from one of the first batches to arrive in the UK, and Imate released regular ROM updates for the first few months. AFAIK, HTC have not yet released a ROM update for any of their devices. I am also not so sure of HTC's level and commitment of support. The one time I had to send the Jam in for repairs, I was very pleased with the way Imate handled the matter. Still to be seen if HTC can do the same.

Well, I use both (JAM and P3600)
Did the benchmark per your request (attached), with SK Tools
Enjoy
Obviosly the Jam is way faster than the trinity i some areas
RAM access Speed index; Jam 6806, Trinity 1644
Main storage (read)KB/sec; Jam 7236, Trinity 3032
Storage Card (write); Jam 671, Trinity 154
In two areas the Trinity is faster:
Main storage (write)KB/sec; Jam 269, Trinity 493
Draw bitmaps Speed index; Jam 424, Trinity 542
The big question is of course: what does these differences mean in real life use?
@tomerbn thank you for your help.
in my oppinion there will be no remarkable difference in daily use. maybe programs will be opened a little bit slower but without a stopwatch you don´t realize it.
a fine toy and for sure my new phone

Well it's fast until you try to playback videos with TCPMP.
The OMAP 850 beats the Samsung 400 Mhz.
This cpu is no good for video and relies on IMAGEON coprocessor for hardware acceleration. And as long as it's not working...

did you activate GDI ?
what do you mean by "activate GDI"?
Hi,
I traded my Magician to a white Trinity last week. Trinity is cool!
I have no clue on the comparison figures; but from my own usage, I think that:
1. Trinity runs WM5 smoothly, better than O2 Atom
2. screen display is cool, but nearly blackout under sunlight
3. BT 2.0 (and A2DP) is good; now I can listen to my fav songs via BT
I am very happy with Trinity!

Set it to 'RAW-framebuffer' and it will run smooth as butter
The main problem with the ATI-imageon, is that it isn't being used at firmware level (yet)... If it had, this would be one great device

I agree absolutely with that
But the slow response is not all that consistent anyway, most of the time it's response is very snappy....maybe i wan't clear about that. It's only the scrolling that responds terribly slow... and A2DP is a damn heavy task on the processor, so the little slowdown in response is less worse than i had expected...
All in all a great device; way cool upgrade, way better...

I do not agree:
- first for best quality directdraw is better than rawframebuffer and is equivalent in terms of performance.
- second "smoth as better" except for h264, xvid, wmv... and anything that is more than 320*240. so in fact it's smooth only with divx 5, 320*240 reencoded movies.
oh let me think... it's compete crap in fact since my HP4350 bought 3 or 4 years ago is able to play whatever full divx movie without reencoding and only have 400Mhz Xscale cpu.
So i understand that re-encoding is to much a hassle for you...? And you expect full-size DVD movies to run on such an underpowered device ? Honestly; could the Magician cope with VGA or higher movies at high framerates...? Mine didn't...
Movie playback
It sounds like the general vibe here is that the Trinity pretty much sucks for playing movies compared to the XScale 416MHz. I can't figure out why HTC is going with the Samsung CPU instead of Intel for their new devices! Cheaper maybe? This device could have been so sweet if it had the right processor in it.
Hello Guys!
I know this has been discussed for I don't know how long now.
But I searched over XDA and Google and couldn't find one simple answer for one simple Question:
Why is the Diamond 2 so much faster (more responsive) than the Touch HD even with exactly the same ROM?
I tried Duttys Roms on both, I tried the newest Engergy Leo Roms on both
My Results:
Installing Programs -> on the diamond 2 faster
starting Programs -> the same
Manila -> Diamond 2 more responsive
Booting -> Diamond 2 faster
SPB Benchmark -> Diamond 2 a hell faster!
Video Cam -> Diamond 2 Cam much more smoother
Photo Cam -> Diamond 2 more realistic Photos (Touch HD kinda Yellow/Orange)
Why? I mean I thought those have both the same identical Hardware?
I really like the HD because of its superior Screen and the 3,5 mm headphone jack
I have to make a decision between one of the two devices and I like the hd so much but its so slow compared to the diamond 2
Maybe some of you can help me
I already made a decision against the xperia because its even slower!
Diamond 2 is definately better even tho HD got a bigger screen and a 3,5mm jack..
yeah it definitely seems so but why? same hardware? same drivers?
I'm not sure, but bigger screen means bigger RAM consuming right?

their cpus are different
Well on SPB CPU Score they are almost the same but in File Transfer and Graphics the Diamond 2 scores higher!
yeah probably because in diamond2 it is new rom/flash chips and probably they added new gpu
Diamond 2: Qualcomm MSM7200A 528 MHz processor
Touch HD: Qualcomm® MSM7201A 528 MHz processor
so are there any differences between 7200 and 7201?
I would like to know a bit more about this, I'm an ex-omnia user, already sold it and thinking on buying but I cant decide between Diamond2 or HD.
Is there realy so much difference???
yep the diamond 2 is a bunch faster! Go get it

I'm assuming you haven't looked into flashing a new rom to your phone, this would significantly improve your phone's performance, as far as adding extras to your phone, after flashing a new rom you could install Window's Marketplace (the install file will come with your rom most likely) and download whatever you want just like the Android Market and Apple's Appstore.
You will first need Hard-SPL, read this thread and take care of that:

Next, find a compatible ROM for your device, I would recommend this one:

Android is phone specific. You need an android build that supports the touch pro2. 1 Rom doesn't fit all. Its the same for android custom roms and window mobile roms. You can't install a touch pro2 rom on a touch pro.
biggest hw difference = capacitive vs. resistive screen. Not sure which (if any) HTC phones have this obviously superior input capability yet...
droids are suffering from build related issues though. Most notably is a BSOD condition that requires connecting up to the charger to fix (even pulling the battery doesn't help). Also the audio jacks are breaking. Sounds a lot like the TyTN was....

I don't know the exact processor in the Touch Pro 2, but if it is the same 528 processor in the G1, Mytouch, and MoTo Click then the DROID processor is far superior. It is based in a different architecture and actually has a GPU (Separate Graphics processor).
If it is the same 528 processor, then yes the DROID is far superior.

The DROID uses an ARM Cortex A8 based processor (the TI OMAP343) while the Touch Pro 2 (and basically all HTC devices other than the HD2) use the much older and much slower ARM11 processor (Qualcomm MSM72xx). Even though the clock speeds are similar (550 vs 528mhz) you can expect real world performance to be 200-400% improved with the OMAP3, due in part to the new ARM CPU and in part to the much better GPU and DSP.

The bigger point with the screen is capactive vs resistive, which is a VERY big difference.
As for the processor, mhz numbers don't tell the whole story. The HTC phones use a Qualcomm processor based on ARM11, the Droid uses a chip based on Cortex A8 - the A8 is CONSIDERABLY faster than ARM11 at the same clock speed.

Tp2.....hands down
Isnt this topic called Android on TP2????
I dont see any forum that has a topic called WM6.5 on Android.....Not even close.
So whats far more superior?!? A device that can emulate another os and more.
I think with a custom rom on my touch pro 2 is more than sufficient. The droid technology isn't up to its full potential yet. They are obviously headed in the right direction and the cosmetic aspect is enough to attract the average buyer. But for what counts the most I feel like the droid phones are about a quarter of the way up the mountain.
First off, I apologize for the other people's lack of response to the article at hand. As for the other people who did post links to Android on Windows Mobile, those links will not work as Android installations are device specific. Meaning and installation on one device probably wont work well for another.
Also, for those of you who posted instructions on flashing custom ROMs. While this may be a great idea for the time being, an Android installation can be run on basically any ROM. It doesn't matter if it is stripped or if it's the crap stock ROM. Once the Android image boots, it kicks Winmo off, and all processor and virtual memory goes to Android. So it is not an emulation, although it is booted from Winmo.
The Touch Pro 2 falls under the HTC Rhodium category on XDA-Developers, so most of your information on it, including Android ports, would be listed there. I did a quick Google search and found a thread with a bounty to get support for the TP2, so it should only be a matter of time.

By slow I mean, really basic functions which this phone is meant for... like the Manilla picture tab taking forever to rotate to Landscape mode, same with the music tab, its so choppy when you try to flip pictures/albums.
I am saying all this because I recently played with an Iphone but as much as I don't like it, I was so mad that my phone having better hardware was so much slower that I had to hide it.
Any insights?

Hi ajrox,
Maybe one of the reasons for the slow response via Landscape mode/Music tab may be because of the time it takes to load data (pictures, songs) from the MicroSD card. In contrast, the IPhone has built-in memory (with possibly higher refresh rate).
When running more than one function though, it's understandable that the Touch Hd may sometimes perform slower than an IPhone because of it's multitasking capabilities - being able to dynamically save application state while servicing other applications, which I believe the iPhone OS cannot.
The qualcomm 7201a isn't high end by any stretch of the imagination, it's slower in cpu intensive task's than ancient intel PXA 263/270 cpu's, let alone similar gen samsung S3C cpu's, or new gen A8 cortex cpu's fitted in the iphone 3Gs, HD2, acer neotouch.
I like my HD, but would like it a lot more if it didn't operate on such a turtle cpu.
Ram is HTC's way of trying to speed up the response of these device's fitted with 72** series qualcomm's,[you can tell this by how apallingly slow it is after a soft reset] my acer F900 had less than half the ram, but is a lot faster with rendering web pages, video's or multitasking.I sent the acer back to expansys because they halved the price before I'd even taken delivery of it, plus it had some GSM issue's which I would have worked through if they hadn't shafted me on the price, also the snapdragon powered neotouch came out and was far cheaper than what I paid for the F900.
I haven't ordered a neotouch yet, but probably will, as it's the closest thing to the HD with new generation hardware.
The struggling HD Performer
Also keep in mind that the horizontal picture orientation is intensive graphically which HTC's devices notoriously do poorly on.
Also keep in mind the fancy 6.5.3 (leo builds) are meant for the HD2 which has double the resources on a CPU and Memory front that the poor HD doesn't have. Until the brilliant chefs here tweak these builds (and they have and continue to....), however, there is a limit, hardware wise the HD have reached.
As the famous saying goes, "where is a will, there is a way!" as they chefs here on xda press on which make this community and it's supporters invaluable.
Hope this helped....
I think it is a good time to move from HD to Omnia II
I dont use Manilla and instead i use SPB 3.5 , have the same problem
I'am willing to sell my HD and buy Omnia II and remove samsung interface and apply SPB 3.5 on it
I think it would be amazing
The following reg tweak does speed things up a little
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCAlbum -Edit the "rotate" entry from "1" to "0"
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCScroll - change "velocity_factor" from 10000 (dec) to 40000
The new HTC Desire HD is now on HTC's website.
It is HD2 copy but with Android.
Nand on the way(?) when these are in XDA forum users hands.
the hardware is the same? I don't think soo :S
Snapdragon 8255 1gz
768MB of RAM
internal storage 1.5gb
and a battery 1230ma
8mpx
ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh I want one, I want one, I want one! or I'll settle for a nice android port.
really wana get a dump of the Desire HD so i can port it to the HD2, all those new widgets and apps, along with new camera app! easy port to be made
the desire hd is too easy to port like EVO....what I means is: EVO = HTC DESIRE HD
really hard to dump
No Hardware is a bit different, it uses a MSM8255 with a die size of 45nm instead of an QSD8250 CPU which die size is 65nm, this msm8255 CPU is based on the same core as the snapdragon QSD8250 of the HD2 and Desire, but will be more energy efficient.
It also features a possibility of 720P recording, probably it will do 720P HD playback as well with hardware acceleration in the CPU.
It features more RAM 786 instead of (unlocked HD2) 576MB. different screen, super LCD and last but not least, an 4GB internal flash drive and some features for faster booting.
Still hope we soon will find a really stable android release which will definitly replace WM6.5..

4GB... are you sure???
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire-3077.php
That says 1.5GB...
Nonetheless, 8mpx, faster loading time, more ram, more nand, blah blah blah, still pretty much = HD2 Android.
I urge everyone to wait for the new CPU man. It's RTM Q4/2010.

The fake HD3 specs could true for some specs like 1Gb Ram Given the new Desire HD got 768mb ram.
Yeah.. Desire HD is Evo 4G...
and the spec is not that much different from HD2... even galaxy S got better spec then it (pity it got the iPhone wanna be looks,, hate it..)
I'll stick to HD2 until there's a big leap in Android phone...

My thoughts too. a fast SD card could will do the trick, besides we'll always be able to use WM at any time.
Until something with a TP2 form factor comes out, I don't think I'm getting a new device. I really miss the keyboard. Resco KB is doing the trick in WM, but it's not like feeling the buttons.
And for God's sake, add some specs. HTC is becoming like Nokia, same hardware in different enclosure every few months.
dang you all . this is android development channel not ur chit chat channel. push this into the android development general thread. why dont noobs understand what and where to put things @@@@

Did you ever know that you're our hero? and you can fly higher than an Eagle and you are the wind between our legs?
What the deuce!!, just bought my HD2 4 weeks ago and still got my Nexus, Touch HD and Pro2 from last year lying around Curse you HTC, curse you!!!

hi, can u get roms and post here....

Nope, sorry, flashing is in a different department. We´re testing only our software on this devices to ensure the functionality on different enviroments. I can help only with pics and information which I can see in the device.
BTW, the Ace has a fullscreen watermark.

is it possible for you to post the .apks from the phone. this will help in development .. only if its possible.

using my computer knowledge, all these won't affect porting if they use same component for radio/IO/DSP/wireless/bluetooth/GPS...etc
die shrink usually means pin-to-pin compatibility.

I guess you cannot disassemble them and look at chips inside then...

but what's the point? is it going to change anything...? all that we need is the rom dump and the rest is up to cooks.
btw, this thread is kinda pointless imho. we all know about release of desire hd and z.
