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).

misc. things about hd2

hey everyone, nice to meet you all, been lurkin' these forums since i got my t-mobile dash on its release day.
but anyways i've got a few questions and comments
what is the most popular and most highly supported custom rom? would it be Kumars? - what roms are the fastest?
-i have bsb tweaks and c00kie on my phone. my phone will 'wake' on a new text and if i try to unlock it before i get the notification (but after it waking) it'll freeze up. its pretty exasperating
-is it my fault? i'm almost always constantly on my phone and it seems that every phone i ever own tends to lag or lock up from time to time, i wonder if im.. 'doing too much' with it.. but i wouldn't expect such a powerful phone as this..

I think energyrom might be the most popular. I would suggest searching youtube for HD2 ROM review, or something like that. You'll see a couple reviews showing each and you'll be able to decide for yourself.

No, it's not your fault, it happens to the best of us. BTW, the lighter ROMs like energy seem to do less of that than the stock. I think it's kind of like buying a PC with a bunch of bloatware, a lean OS always runs faster and more stable.
On the same vain, I have a Droid, a 3gs and the HD2, and I must say the HD2 lags and freezes the most, followed by the Droid and the the Iphone is the most stable, even after jail-breaking and modifying it extensively. I attribute this to the tight integration of the OS and hardware, unlike Android and WiMo which have different OS and Hardware manufacturers, and thus leads to bloat and incompatibilities.

Wait, what? I just noticed this, lol. I hope you meant T-Mobile HD2, otherwise you're in the wrong forum and I waisted my time replying.

NRG's roms are really good too. Come pre-loaded with a lot of apps. Great on the eyes (eye candy ) and very fast. Are you running the stock rom right now (that you are experiencing the lockups with) ?

you guys are really nice people, i appreciate your help

scratch that, i found the thread for NRG roms

Anyone know how to make opera load mobile versions of sites like youtube? Every time I check the setting to load mobile sites, it loads a funky version of the site. It will not actually load the mobile site as I can see it's not in the URL. I can type in the URL "www.m.youtube.com" but it never does it by default. Is there a setting to set in the opera config to fix this? My main reason for fixing is I would love to have youtube links sent to me in email open the youtube app but it requres the mobile version of youtube to load in opera.

Yes, especially since the people behind that app are XDA devs

Aw dude are they rly? Now I feel like a jack ass haha! unfortunately it was really simple, im pretty sure they're aware of the exploit then also

I think hacking should really not even be offered in this forum.. Since this is about development, there is a very fine line between legal and illegal.. so we all strive to keep this site alive by not offer any warez or serial number hacks..
So If I were you, I would edit my post and remove the offer.. dont want the moderators down on you.

I have no idea what you are talking about... the ap that is linked there is the exact same one packed into the energy roms AND works perfectly fine on the touch pro as well. I have a touch pro as a back up phone and this program is loaded on and working

I've got the energy rom on my att tilt 2 and it has the wifirouter app, will i be charged if i use it, i just have the data plan on it.
Thanks.

well, since you are NOT a developer and DID NOT discover the exploit yourself (and for the community to improve the software) - that makes you nothing more than a common theif.
i wish i were an admin or moderator - i would get your IP address, find the ISP, call the company and your local law enforcement agency.... you PUBLICLY confessed to STEALING.
you sir are responsible for the draconian digital content protection laws enacted by governments around the world... and DRM crap by the big corps. problems with corporations and government will prevail as long as tools like you troll the internet looking to get great software, music, games, and movies without paying....
uggghhh please moderators set the wheels in motion and nail this sack of crap to the wall......

We got amazing XDA developers on here and I'm proud of them. Without them. We wouldn't have what we got right now for our Pocket Pc's/windows mobile devices. So I didn't like how you broke into that software. Just my opinion.
Thanks.

Help with HTC Router App on Stock Sprint TP2 6.5 Rom

I'm trying to get one of these HTC WiFi Router options to work correctly with an upgraded Stock Sprint Touch Pro 2 that has the WinMo 6.5 update.
I've installed a few that seem to be the same thing, however I cannot find any changes. I've checked the obvious places, start menu, connections... Looked for suggestive entries in Program Files / Registry... Can't seem to see what, if anything, has been added, or how to utilize it.
Any suggestions?
I do appreciate anyone's time and effort to get something like this working...

Hey levi, didn't see your question till today.
When I install it on the tmo 6.5 ROM, the app creates a new folder in the start menu called "Communication" and puts the icon for it in there. If you don't find that, then the file it links to is here -> \Windows\CMInternetSharing.exe
You can start it manually from there, and copy/paste a shortcut to wherever in your start menu you want it.

New HTC Snap Owner needs some guidance.

So....
I have a HTC Tattoo and I just ordered a HTC Snap, for development and business use (I'm a secondary school student and a soon-to-be freelance web designer) but I didn't want to get a blackberry.
I've got a few questions. The last time I've used Windows Mobile was ages ago, on a HP iPAQ rx1950. It lagged like crap. How is the performance with Windows Mobile 6.5? Is it speedy or is it still laggy?
That's the method of jailbreaking/rooting the HTC Snap? Can you link me to a thread? I've tried looking in some forums, but I'm kinda confused - too used to one-click-root on Android.... Heh. I think it would involve flashing the SPL, a possible CAB file to add administrator privileges and some other things.
What's a good ROM for the Snap?
Is there any chance of running Android on the Snap?
Thanks again, peeps.

The model of the one that I purchased is S521. What is the codename for this one?

WM6.5 on the Snap is pretty decent. It has a much faster processor and lots more RAM than the rx1950. WM Standard also tends to be slightly more responsive on equivalent hardware compared to WM Professional.

There is no jailbreaking or rooting with WM - admin privileges are automatic. App unlocking may need to be done depending on your carrier, but is a trivial process. If you're looking to flash a custom ROM, then HardSPL will need to be flashed. Check the ROM development board.

Depends on taste. Some people like a basic Stock ROM, others like an all-inclusive tweaked-out ROM like 3VO. If none suit your taste, feel free to fire up a kitchen and make your own.

HTC Maple, I think.

Thanks for the extensive reply. Completely gets me on track to get started with my Snap!
I'll possibly opt for the tweaked ROM, I looked at the screenshots and they totally impressed me.
For themes in WM6, is it like Windows XP's theming - a theme can change the look of the start bar and everything? Windows Mobile 5 only allowed people to change the colors and wallpaper... Nothing much else.
Thanks again!

[Q] Whatsapp

Dear xda-Community
I want to ask you if theres a possibility to use Whatsapp on my HTC touch hd, for example if i get android on it or a newer windows mobile version. I would be very thankful if you could tell me the best i should do now because i have no idea and after reading severals of threads i still have no idea of this subject.
Thanks for your attention :good:

Whatsapp is avaiable on Android. If it will run well, I have no idea. Try it out.

It will run on Android - I have it on my Blackstone. If you still want to have the Windows, then install one of the ROMs that run Android on scard:

Not for WM6.x. Don't think it will ever be - it is no longer a mainstream OS for phones.
