Htc Viva Battery performance in Android

Hi there everyone, I have a simple question:
I intend to try and change the actual WM 6.5 on my htc touch viva to android (rom, not by SD card) and I would like to know the new battery performance in the same equipment, running android (of course, starting from the state that I'm really able to move to Android)!
Anyone knows? =) thanks in advance

you can't install android into rom
you can find all information about android here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628917

i've already read that topic among others.... and I intended to unlock the rom, 'till I found that those programs needed to do that wouldn't run in my X64 bit processor :'(
It is said that is possible to run Android from a ROM instead of SD card...

HTC Desire newbe help.

Hi all,
I have just aquired my first Android (aka HTC Desire) after becoming all to familiar with Windows mobile!
My phone is from vodaphone with Android 2.1 and bootloader .80 version. I am unsure if it is branded but i suspect that it is as there is as vodaphone scene amongst the installed htc scenes although there dosn't appear to be anything else 'vodaphone' on the handset.
I have trailed through many forums (mostly this one) but haven't been able to provide wholly satisfactory answers to my questions and was hoping some kind sole would take the time to assist me for which i would be eternally greatful!:
Here goes:
My object is to flash my device with Froyo with the sense ui embedded which i have allready seen.
1. Is my phone actually branded and, if so, do i have to address this before i can continue. If the answer is yes, could somebody point me in the right direction?
2. Do i need to root my device to install Froyo and, if so, again could somebody please point me in the right direction(bootloader .80)
3. Assuming success, can somebody point me to where and how i can locate and install the best version of Froyo with embedded htc sense for my device.
If this is impossible with my device, i would appreciate someone in the know to break the sad news to me and i will wait (with my allready full Desire) for Vodaphone to send me my Froyo update! (perhaps for Christmas if that's not too optimistic.

1) is it branded? if its issued by vodaphone, chances are it is.
To root branded devices, you'll need a goldcard, follow this link (its specific for htc desire) :

2) to install froyo BEFORE the official release , yes you'll need to root it.
It's quite an easy process, took me under a minute using a one-click program.

3) best version of froyo with sense ... hmm
i'm using DeVillianRom but that's just my opinion of course
all roms can be found here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=628
hope this helps, make sure you check the HTC desire section regularly

Thanks jdebunt for your prompt reply.
I will be trying this out tomorrow morning and i am very grateful for your time and help.
After a year of 'messing' with windows mobile i was actually able to assist people with various problems! I have had an Android for one week now and have found this forum invaluable for understanding this excellent (almost) device.
I say almost as, after researching the Android platform, i failed to notice the lack of embedded apps2sd (until Froyo) which i think is a critical ommission.
Sorry to waffle on and thanks again and i will report back as to how it goes.
(One week old.....bricked???)

no problem, glad i could help
i do indeed rejoice at the sight of installing apps on SD because of the 2.2 roms, tho sometimes the apps load very slow...but that'll be sorted soon probably
if there's anything else, don't hesitate to drop a PM

[Q] HTC Touch Dual upgrade to Windows 6.5 (Bell Neon 400)

Hi,
I'm very new at this, I've searched the forums but find dead links to things, so I'm reposting.
I have a Touch Dual Neon400 from Bell Mobility. It's currently running Windows Mobile 6.1, I'd like to run Windows 6.5 (or better?). I don't want any fancy functionality just a better interface.
Is there a simple guide anywhere that will take someone through the whole process step by step. I don't know anything about ROMs, have never flashed the phone etc.
Thanks for your patience.
Alex

Congratulations. This is your prize for been a dumbass and flashing software to a device it was never meant for.
A HD2 clone is NOT a HD2, It just "looks" like one.

there's no such thing as HD2 dual sim. it's a clone. do you seee anything about it on the HTC official site? no! why do you think that is?
the Clone is just a different device disguised as an HD2. so it has different hardware and software specs. meaning it also needs different drivers. Flashing anything that's meant to be for HD2 is like somehow managing to install windows drivers on a mac OS, it won't work.
if you took a little time around the forum you'd have seen threads started by users with a clone, and all were told not to use anything that was meant for the HD2.
in your case it might be too late.

I know it isn't orginal HTC and it has different hardware. I didn't upgrade any orginal rom. I have used it's update files from this page bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.c*m
I just want to learn that does the touch panel need a driver or file for android?

I don't know, and I'm sure lots don't as well.
you have to look for people who actually got it working and see how they did it.
it probably needs some file in the kernel. but I don't recommend you start trying them out. I'm pretty baffled how you got android running in the first place.. unless it came with your device which means you shouldn't have tried updating anything.
if you can't get it back to what it was before, does it return to "original android" when hard reset? because that's what I think you should do.

[Q] htc hd2 problem( dual boot)

Sorry to disturb, guys. I m basically a old user of htc hd2. My friend rooted the phone for me. And it is in a state of dual boot. Recently , i found that it is starting to consume a large memory.
So i decided to flash in a new rom only allow android worked.
android version now is 2.3.5. I also cant determine the version of phone.
This phone is bought in singapore.
mod version: cope and warredb present: American Android GB235 CyanogenMod7.1 HTC LEO 080711
I m a very new member and seriously have no idea on what to do with this phone. i know backup before flash.
Alrdy looking at the forum for 6 hours but i still dun have any idea what to do.
*please teach in detail, i really need it*
So, guys please gv recommendation, tanx a lot.

Try out the guide in my sig, it's the easiest to follow in my opinion. This will remove Windows Mobile, and replace it with Android. You'll have to choose a ROM from the NAND Development section first, and adjust the partition sizes mentioned in the guide in accordance with the ROM you want to flash.
