Hey guys... I started an entry for Droid compatibility in the Cyanogen code tracker.
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...Priority Version Owner Summary Stars Modified
Let's get some more stars on that badboy and show that there is a real desire to get more top quality coders on the Eclair bandwagon!
What is this for? To get Cyanogen on Droid?
The only thing I regret about switching to Droid is missing out on Cyanogen's awesome work. There is nothing comparable yet on DROID.
Yup! Exactly the point of what I'm trying to do.
Starred.
Hmm I don't see it happening any time soon, because the only reason the Dream and Magic are both supported in his ROM is due to them both being 32B devices. Same hardware and I believe same motherboard. The 32A Magic that uses a different motherboard is not supported.
I would say it is doable. You'd have to do some pretty serious work in the code and somehow figure out some of the Droid's drivers. The proprietary drivers are the major barrier to creating decent custom roms for most of these devices.
Someone needs to give Cyanogen a DROID.

how do you guys slide open the keyboard..

Yea me too..
thumbs on the bottom en push up..
but to not push it out of my hands..
i have 2 fingers on top..
and one keeps pushing the volume..
I keep my fingers on the middle of the back instead of along the top rim... so my fingers aren't anywhere near the volume button, but still have enough torque to open the screen easily
The Droid in GSM is 650$ Imported/Unlocked, Pretty hard to get alot people on that one.
But i would consider getting one if Cyanogen made rom for it, but i dont think he has enough time to do Dream, magic and milestone.

Sounds like a great idea for those of us here in the US, but the GSM droid is not going to give you 3G connections. The radio frequencies of the GSM droid is not on the correct radio frequencies for T-mobile or AT&T, so you will be stuck with 2G at best.

Well, or you could wait for the Canadian Milestone (aka GSM droid). It will be using the GSM 850/1900 3G Frequencies.

connect-utb has several of my donut and xrom images and files necessary to run android on the diamond. i'm not doing very much development these days. especially since i'm running my donut build from nand and can now flash yaffs2 images and have a full recovery screen with selectable menu items and usb tether so my laptop has a working internet connection when in android. also the moto droid or htc passion can wait a little bit longer.

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

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.

Since i've got android on my Sprint Vogue, i'd say it's possible if the right people want it to happen.
I am sorry if this has been answered but i am unable to find out any info about a dev porting over the mytouch slide rom to Nexus One. I hope that i am not the only one that would like this port.
Thanks for any info and sorry if i piss off anyone because its not my intention i just was unable to find any info,
Eclair~ said:
Hmm, 3.5 screen.. 3.7 on the Nexus. Along with 2.1 on both devices. It could be ported, but what exactly is the screen resolution of the MyTouch Slide? If its ported but isn't 800x480 (WVGA, HDPI) (or whatever the Nexus 'supposedly' is) or somewhere close, we could be faced with weird size images and graphical issues. And of course with the fact that no one seems to know how to map the keys on the Nexus. Does Paul? Did the Desire ROM not need key mapping?
I don't know what I'm talking about anyways, but it sounds half right using common sense..

Thread killer! He's right though. I believe king was working on it at some point but the mapping is a pain. I wouldn't expect to see this anytime soon.
It's times like these i miss Eugene373. =( What ever happened to him?
Ya i miss all the older devs they had lots of drama but things got done. Thanks for the replies i guess its a lost cause. I for one do not like the look of the desire rom but find the slide rom appealing maybe what will happen is a launcher port from the slide rom to the desire rom then i would be happy.

That has already happened, just no one has released it publicly. I wish the current Sense had "themes" like Espresso, where we can change highlight colors, the general look and feel of things..

I think those look nice. if i remember correctly, there was a "theme" for one of our sense roms, just nothing that could be changed native. =P
Well crap for not releasing publicly haha kiddin. Well maybe i need to just read up on how to do it myself them.
I've made my own Sense launcher..

The more different, the better. To me at least..
See now that launcher is all that i want since the desire one is so unapealing to me. Now i guess its time for me to get to learning so i can do that. Thanks for giving me hope.
Isn't this a port from the MyTouch Slide for the N1? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=635783&highlight=espresso
I have a telus htc vogue with a broken screen, anyone know where I might find one? Out of pure boredom i would like to get it working.
Unfortunately they don't seem to have parts lying around for this device these days. A peek through craigslist showed that there are used htc touch's out there anywhere from $40-100 depending on the condition. Because the screen is one of those unwarrantied things that likely are expensive to repair/replace, I'm guessing it's almost better to replace?

Hey jamezelle,

there are three different screen manufactures for the vogue screen meaning different drivers. i don't remember the manufacturers names off hand, but i know dzo's android kernel auto detects which screen you have and then uses the appropriate driver.

My question is can we get a build for the hd2? Or are there still more things needed?
Could someone please explain to me why every time any phone with Android is released, that there are drones of people demanding developers who've put hours and hours on end of their own personal time into programming fixing and tweaking the current HD2 Android builds for no personal gain whatsoever, to devote more time and energy porting over a build that has almost no change in OS whatsoever?
I'd understand if a new phone came out with Android 2.3 or something, but all the phones being released lately aren't that much different from each other....
In the OP's defense he didn't demand anything he simply asked if it was possible and what it would take.. but your right about all the new phones OS being pretty similar.. that being said there is almost always something new in the OS when tmo drops a new android phone.. new mytouch is supposed to have a uma similar feature.. I guess we will see.

A large majority of people both in Europe and United States use T-Mobile.

TMOBILE DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE MYTOUCH SLIDE UI "ESPRESSO" BUT ITS RUNNING ANDROID 2.1. AND THE FUNNY THING IS THAT, THE UI ON THE MYTOUCH SLIDE HAD SKINS, LANDSCAPE SENSE, AND MULTITASKING IN THE NOTIFICATIONS WAY BEFORE THE "DESIRE HD" AND "DESIRE Z".
ALOT OF GOODIES IN THE PREVIOUS MYTOUCH (CAN APPLY LOCK WALLPAPER DIFFERENT FROM HOME WALLPAPER, THEMES, LANDSCAPE SENSE, MY FAVES GALLERY, MODE SWITCH BASE ON TIME OR LOCATION, GENIUS APP, APP PACK AND MORE). SO I AM VERY INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THIS 2.2 VERSION OF THE MYTOUCH ROM PACKS

"similar" but not identical. For example, the processor (QSD8250 vs MSM8255) is different... Chipset might be different. radio manufacturer might be different, camera drivers mightbe different, etc etc etc.
But hey, they managed to plug in Desire Z and HD ROMs... Who knows!

Completely agree... Whoever initiates this type of request should actually donate some money first, recommend others to do the same and then get someone interested to make a build if they want it... that way, build maker makes some $$$ and everyone is happy... even grannies don't give it for free...
