The Desire interface is very nice, ease of use and looks much better than the HD2. What are the steps to get it on the HD2, is it a ROM that has to be ripped or a .cab to install? Just wondering, as I'm new to the WinMo hacking scene.
P.S. If you haven't seen what the Desire UI looks like, click here

It is made for a different OS altogether. Someone might be able to port it, but it is native of Android OS. To get this in the HD2, it would be like porting iphone apps to WM.

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm wondering if it is possible to have Windows Mobile on HTC Hero - not as a dual boot, but instead of Android?
Are there any chefs out there developing Windows Mobile ROMs for the Hero?
I currently have HC Diamond and have been a very happy user of Makevaral's BsB ROMs, but I am getting HTC Hero on upgrade so I'm wondering if I can get WM on it.
I didn't put this question in the "Android Development" forum because it's not the development of Android that I am asking about.
Thanks.
Not possible, there are other threads on it if you search.

Old-Fashioned !
since there are (from the hardware specs point of view) great winmo phones, why would you want to go through the trouble of putting winmo on a hero? the hero is a great phone, but if you want winmo (god knows why...) just get a winmo phone, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble.
this is not bashing, this is asking why.
1. don't get the Hero if you're happy with windows mobile. no point.
2. get the Hero and forget about that crap.

winmo is immposible to install on hero becasue of hardware and kernel ..
Why would you want to spoil your Hero by installing an outdated clunky OS, that MS are soon abandoning? I used to have the TD - the Hero is just so much better for both hardware and software.
As others have said if you want to stick with WM there are plenty of HTC WM phones out there - get one of those instead of the Hero
buy a fake chinese hero which is identical to hero (I think - only saw it on a video) and has winmo 6.5 pro
Thanks for your answers.
The reason I was asking is because I've taken Orange up on an offer of a HTC Hero free as an upgrade. I was initially going to sell it because of my old-fashioned nature and wanting to stick with MS. But then I thought of asking about the ROM just in case.
"an outdated clunky OS, that MS are soon abandoning?" - I hope you are right, that MS are indeed abandoning it in favour of Windows Phone 7. I hope it's a complete re-write of the code, rather than what MS usually do and regenerate old code and put it into "new" OS's.
Thanks
I might have a play around with the Hero to see if I like it.
Windows mobile 7 is completely new, but will not work on any existing handsets.
back to android.
Android is great, fully customisable and there is no reason not to love it.

Exactly what happened with me - it was going on Ebay and I was keeping the TD, until I made one mistake and did this

One little play and I was hooked.
In use the capacitive screen is so much better - do not believe those who say it is a worse screen because it has less resolution. In fact ease of use of the screen is the one thing that I always envied iphone users for when I watched them swipe easily between screens without ever accidently switching on an app.
And Android, especially with HTC's SenseUI, is much better than WM. Because of the WM interface (which HTC did their best to hide) I used my TD mainly as a phone and did not get the best out of it because of that. Now I use my Hero for a lot more. And I have not missed my old stylus one bit - I just let my fingers do the walking.
Let us know how you get on with your little play - try the market and see how easy it is to get all sorts of weird and wonderful apps that you never realised you needed, but you will find indispensible once you've got them. I bet you will be androided.
Hi Guys I have been a winmo user for a while and then i moved to android with xperia x10. however i am thinking of changing my toy and unable to decide between 2 HD2 and desire.
for me i felt both OS as same for my usage in fact i liked winmo for exchange support more.
so if you guys have to make a choice which one would you like to go for.
Waiting for your honest advise.
HD2 is best looking phone IMO, problem is, WM is running. I chose a Desire because of that, not the same looks, but same specs + Android.
Aka, Desire if i had to pick.
i played arround with android on my hd2 and now i wish i had a desire... android seems more like what win mobile should have been... althogh android is so young... android is much more smoother and the integration with google, gmail, social networks is much better than win mo... on top of that the market has much more options that win mo...
AFAIK froyo supports exchange server...
my bad...i posted a Q earlier that is HD2 the best option, and i was suggested that HD2 is indeed the best option as compared to any phone including Desire...
desire has a plastic body...so that is something i wouldnt like much...and above all HD2 has the best display

At it runs beautiful!
again for me this is a no brainer just buy the hd2 and if you want run the desire android build.
that way you can have both in one handset with a bigger screen.
so seems that everyone suggest that I should go with Android ?
so now if i flash a android ROM on HD2 will it be as good as Desire since desire was made for Android.
Also do we have a stable Android ROM for HD2 ?
Please help guys i got to buy it in 2 to 3 days

IMO the Hd2 is much better than any android device out there currently.
The Hd2 is NOT a capable Android device. I had a Nexus One that I sold to get the Hd2 off of craigslist for cheap thinking I could run both. Only problem with that is the fact that your running an entire operating system off of the SD card on a phone not designed to run it at all.
People that have never used Android will say it runs fine on the Hd2, but I had the Nexus One for 6 months and I can really feel the slowdown and battery issues.
I would recommend the Hd2 to anyone I know but NOT if you need to have Android. I like WM 6.x much better on my Hd2 over Android...

Cmon man don't act like a little girl about this decision. If you want the Hd2 then go for it but dont try to act like we are really going to be the determining factor that makes the decision by rushing us. Yeah we might tell you something you like but have a pair and make a good decision yourself
i dont know why but the desire feels like a girls phone
my choice would be hd2 WinMo is way better than android to me...only boot android occasionally to play some games or use some apps that are missing in Winmo its a win win situation
I use to have an iphone, than I switched to the HTC Magic running android and this will be my first WINMO phone.
My question is, whats the difference between the tmobile version of this phone compared to the other versions?
Do you guys reccomend WINMO or Android? is there any stable android roms for the hd2?
Mines stable. Even more if you disable the G-Sensor.
Who says you can't have both? I got an Energy WM Rom and running Bangsters V1.2a Android build.
Id rather just stick to one. In your opinion do you think Android or WinMO is better for this device?
well you really dont have a choice. There is currently no way to flash to NAND so WINMO will stay as the main OS on the phone but as was mentioned before you can run Android 2.2 from your SD card but the experience isnt really like having a true android phone. Development has come a long way but I still suspect we are about another month away from a completely stable,,no bugs, fully compatible ROM. Heck maybe in a month we will have access to NAND. As for ROM to use in WinMo its really up to you and there are alot of great ones out there. Just do some research and find which on suits your needs.
make you a deal. how about some free help, free of charge.
depends on what you are looking for. if you take the time to configure your phone correctly, you can have an extremely fast and reliable winmo device. i have altered my set up almost every possible way and i cant think of anything faster and more solid than this phone with sense diabled and using a lean custom rom.
i also occasionally run android, but more for fun. it works but it isnt nearly as reliable as winmo, currently.
what help do you need?

Hello guys
I am for a big time without my HTC, I owned a HTC Raphael wich operated with wm 6.5 flashed by me and unblocked with jailbreak.
However my fuze got broken, and I stood a long time without a good phone, and now I am going to travel and decided to buy one.
So, I liked so much my fuze, because it worked with WM, and I've got more facilities downloading programs.
I have ever liked WM more than MAC(from iphone) by the apps, and all. The other feature I liked ou fuze was the QWERTY, wich there is on the DESIRE Z.
Can I flash the newest windows(7) on this Desire? Or only work on android? Wich is the apps available for this android? Is it feels like windows? or the codification of programs are all different?
Please help me, becaus if there is not many apps, I will choose by the HTC HD7 or IPHONE(even without QUERTY)
Thanks
You can not flash WM onto an Android device...you can however Flash Android onto WM. DO NOT get an iPhone!
If you like the flexbility of porting different OS on your device, you may want to look into HD2. WM7 project is underway for HD2 and Android is fully portable with a few snags here and there. If you simply want the option of a lot of apps, I would go with DZ as the Android marketplace is much better then WM.

If you like wimo, you'll absolutely love ANDROID. Wimo blows goat chunks. You can do more with Android, look at smartphone market share... wimo is barely a blip... counted in the "other". Android is #1, even making RIM look foolish now. There's a REASON for it.... absolute and unquestionable superiority.
I came from WinMo on a Touch Pro 2 to Android on the DZ. And you couldn't pay me to go back, I love the combination of DZ/Android ! It's vastly superior. WP7 looks cool but it's very very new and seems to be lacking a lot of stuff (bear in mind that the devs are still trying to figure out how to do custom ROMs on WP7).
Hello! I was wondering if there is one developer interested in porting this ROM to our HTC HD2 device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284772
It seems the be the most complete Iphone-like ROM I've ever seem and it can be curious for some people that would like to mimic iOS interface.
I'd really appreciate it.
Regards,
P.S: I don't want to start a fight about which interface is better, or why people'd like to have their Android phone like an Iphone or comments like "if you like iOS interface... why you don't buy an Iphone?". I think that the strong point in Android is that we can choose everything, and this ROM is a new posibility for us.
Thanks for reading it.
Perhaps here?
