Ookba I love you. Your Windows Mobile 6.5 rom for the Dash is incredible... You should get a Touch Pro 2 and make the first ROM for it too!
Or is that only in my dreams
(By the way sorry SNAP fans, but I'm going to invest in a Touch Pro 2)

Sticking to Smartphones for now... PPC is a whole new world. We're almost done building a JumpSPL for the Dash3G so stay tuned.

Just got my Dash 3G..can't wait for the 6.5 ROM

I want to get a Dash3G, simply because it's visually more attractive than the Snap. Anyone know if the Dash3G has been unlocked yet?

Yea, I got mine unlocked within minutes online. Just Google "Dash 3G sim unlock". Using it with AT&T, works great.

I think I'm gonna piss myself! I love my Dash 3G, but would love it more with a custom rom!!!!

What I miss the most from stock ROM is keyboard shortcut remappings.. e.g. task manager, etc.

Hey, ookba,
I so on photos some diferences between HTC Snap (Snap S521) and HTC Dash 3G. I mean at the keyboard.
For which one do you cooking the ROM now?

the vogue comeback?

anybody else think the touch vogue & qvga is going to be making a huge comeback? all i see are threads with people selling their touch pros and diamonds to go back to the vogue. i think it is one of htc's most valued ppc's. also with android running so well on it now i really think alot of users will be coming back.
thoughts?

People want the latest & greatest. I don't even want the Vogue but is what I am stuck with because of the stupid thinking over at Verizon. I don't have a data plan & you can only get the touch Pro if you are on a data plan.

No other handset is as mature in the Android space. It is an amazing OS running well enough for everyday use.

I'm keeping my Vogue until I can get an Android phone.

x2... I'm locked into my Alltel/Verizon? Contract til 2010 but luckily I picked up the last two in-stock Vogues they had for the wifey and me for only $80/ea. I initially regretted my decision but now that Android on the Vogue has matured so much that it can be used for everyday use I'm more than thrilled with the decision. Happy to be Rockin' the Vogue!!!

Same, even though the Vogue has worked out for me. I still would rather have a touch pro, or the touch pro 2 once it comes out.
I'd really like to have the Moto Schole thats coming out after using Android on the Vogue, its a nice OS.

WM is a terrible platform, it doesnt offer anything that android doesnt or at some point wont. Android even runs better on the vogue which was designed for WM. I just dont see why anyone would voluntarily choose WM overandroid. It would be great, if this was 2003.

You can absolutely customize Android. There are apps on the market and tons of downloadable themes. The apps cost a bit of money, and being that we're not really "stable" yet, I haven't bothered to buy them.
And need I point out mssmison's themed builds?

I believe that was fixed today, although I may be mistaken on exactly what that entails.
Anyway, I tried the free "Lite" version of a couple theming apps a while back, and they worked fine. I forget what the difference between Lite and Full were though.

Dude, what apps are you trying to run that require root? I've seen you post this several times while looking around the forums today. I've never had an app intalled that wouldn't run because I wasn't root.

question on all vogue-android builds

which is the most stable for everyday use right now? also what happened to this tattoo build for us on qvga, i don't see it anywhere?

If you want something truly stable and fast, use the standard Ion build. Other than that, most of the Ion/Cupcake builds are very good for use. Such as the xRom builds or something like that.
The tatoo/hero/pulse/etc. builds are in the works and are not really stable. The ones which are "stable" usually run kind of slow on our hardware. Even though they are definitely cool and look awesome. They aren't really practical for everyday use imo.

I'm using the motor build at 240 x 320 & 110 lcd density... very nice. A few hiccups but this looks like my fav build so far. Once you get to homescreen let it settle down for a bit and it works well. Gps, native camera.... need to figure out how to fine-tune this puppy

none of these builds are functional enough for me to use everyday, im soo disappointed. that and now i can't buy the hero until next year because of $$ issues. im stuck with the damn vogue and winmo hell.
edit: i also didn't mean any disrespect to any of the devs on here either, you guys have done a great job. it's just been a bad day for me and i can never get any of these builds to run right on my vogue like some of you do.

I've been using xROM 1.5 for about 2 months with no issues what so ever. Why is it not functional enough for you to use? Everything works except bluetooth.

Any of the Ion builds are great for use everyday. All you lack is bluetooth and MMS but Android makes up for that with its other benefits. Ion is perfectly stable and fast.

right now im running zens xrom and it seems to be pretty stable soo far. ill give it a go this weekend.
couple questions.... can we take a screenshot at all yet? also is there a way to remove the clock from the taskbar? i find it stupid to have a clock on the taskbar and then a clock widget on the home screen.

I would recommend using SPB Mobile shell 3.1 or 3.5 and then adding the Revolution theme. It's a rip off of the Hero UI and SPB Mobile shell is the MOST stable Today plugin that I have used to date.
They made it over in France so use this link to translate for you.
Sence le Revolution

You have root access through su. And to take a pic you can use the debugger in the sdk.
And hero runs sense ui just fine so no need to fake it.

woke up this morning and my data connection went down in xrom. i had to reset the modem. what would cause this? this is one reason ive not been successful in using android for very long.

edit: i just read users of the real hero are having the same issues with data connection on top of a ton of other major issues. i think ill hold off buying the hero until a fix comes out. sprint cannot afford another failure at this point.

i think you need to just use windows mobile my friend. i've seen you bash and complain about this project enought times even on ppcgeeks. you never provide any usefull info besides what doesnt work. i use nfsfans latest winmo rom it's real nice but not prefect but i dont go creating my own thread just to complain about it

i didn't bash any devs on here, im having issues and im posting them, just like everyone else. i like android/hero but in my experience soo far i cannot find a build that is near functional for everyday uses. im going to buy a hero and pray it is more functional but ive been hearing owners say it has alot of issues as well. my vogues on its last leg and i need to upgrade. im running nfsfans rom and while its good, i hate winmo like most of you do.

What about the ion build? That's every day usable in my eyes. And I've had problems with Windows mobile locking up and missing calls even on a stock Rom/radio...but to me I see more complaints from you than anyone else. I know things aren't prefect but users of other HTC windows phones would love to be able to run android as well as vogue/kaiser.

Thank You (but one last request)

Unfortunately, last week my Vogue finally broke after dropping it for the umpteenth time. I was looking around at some new phones but couldn't help to lose my beloved Android anymore, so I decided to get an HTC Hero
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has been working on the Vogue Android project right from the start. Martin, zenulator, msmission, Vilord and everyone else, really, thank you
I remember when the project first started, with the really old alpha Android builds, with the vertical app menu and mysterious GPS that kept blipping you on a freeway in California I enjoyed the project very much and will miss this.
That said, I do have one last request for you guys I was wondering if anyone could dump the wallpapers included in the recent 1.6 builds that zenulator had brewed up. I'm not sure if they are stock to 1.6 or maybe to Droid, but I would really like to get them on my Hero if possible
Thanks again everyone!

There were some wallpapers included in the media folder, but those aren't the ones I'm looking for. I'm looking for the ones that were included right in the ROM. I know the default wallpaper was from the Droid (the grungy looking one), but the rest I'm not sure about.
There was the Droid background, an orange "bubbly" one, one that looked like a closeup of a plant, one of a bunch of water droplets, and so on...

Aha, found what I was looking for!

HTC EVO 4G ROM on HTC HD2

Will the EVO 4G hardware be close enough to the HD2 for it to help the Android on HTC project to put Android on the HD2? Any thoughts?

indeed thats the question we are all waiting for the answer to..
lets hope it helps..

An interesting concept, there are those that are asking if Windows Phone7 is going to work with the HTC HD2 as well. Be nice if we could choose either. The HD2 is a lovely piece of kit.

when is the evo actually out? nobody got a whiff of a leaked rom?
got an hd2 myself, would love to get android

work it will not

Joke you did get, much funny it was.
Complete my goal is
May the force be with you

I'm not so sure about this....
With the Evo not coming to UK waters and no other screen size planned this side of the pond the ROM on the HD2 may well be the only answer.
However, lets not forget.. the Evo has a lot inside which will be different to the HD2 and these short comings won't make the HD2 an Evo in disguise.
It may end up being a sheep in wolf's clothing.

I don't think you'll see it because of driver issues but if enough people want it anything is possible.

Tell that to Winterboard and AndroidLock. But yes, theming isn't supported natively.
However the iPhone port of Android is an actual native port, loaded using OpeniBoot, a custom "iBoot"-style bootloader. And you thought the HTCSPL system was tricky...

Belated, but May the Fourth be with you.

I find it quite unlikely. Developers are still trying to get Android EMULATED, not installed, on the Touch Pro, and that version still suffers from poor battery life and frequent errors.
You can't just drag and drop ROMS from completely different operating systems onto different phones; otherwise, all phones would be sold without an OS installed.
The two phones may be similar in regards to features, but the insides are completely different. For example, the Evo has a maXTouch sensor, while the HD2 does not. So, while you may be able to get Android emulated on the HD2, it doesn't look like it's going to be very possible to transform it into an Evo by giving it the latter's ROM.
