hey everyone. im super new to the forum (as well as the adventure that is modding my phone).
my questions is quite simple: i have an lg expo and i was wondering what options i have for changing out the OS or User interface. MaxSense UI looks very cool...but i have no idea how to put the android OS on my phone. i saw a thread for dual booting Android and WinMo - im just not sure how to tackle it - and i havent seen any threads offering tuts. any help is greatly appreciated
i just realized i posted this in the wrong section. could someone please move it to the appropriate forum?
there are an awful lot of categories here....
As of right now there is not a way to put android on lg expo. Your best bet would be to flash darks custom rom if you would like something fancy.

Welcome to xda-developers community,about 6.5 on your lg incite it is possible, just give it time, there are some guys already working on dumping the rom and that's the first start for rom cooking(not really, but the first thing would be hard spl/cid unlock), anyways welcome and enjoy your stay.
Sincerely

Hey thanks for the reply and i have been following the thread for the incited rom cooking im just getting so anxious haha
That would be sweet, If it would run like it does on my hermes (which it should because specwise its more powerful in every aspect) It would put the incite way ahead of alot of windows mobile phones in terms of style and functionality. Excluding the touch hd most of the wm6.5 roms are for older, and in my opinion uglier phones i.e. my hermes, and it would be great to see it on a slimmer phone.
Any Update on the development of the LG incite's 6.5 ROM yet?
waiting..............

Thnkyou
RE:Need WM 6.5 on Lg Incite (Read the Comment!!!!)
I recently bought an Incite and found a WM 6.5 Rom for th Lg Incite. I downloaded the Rom and it seemed very nice and had many new features, but there are way to much bugs to fix. For Example, If you turn on the acceloremeter sensor, your device would freeze from time to time. Also once you download this Rom you would not be able to get your old WM 6.1 back. I ended up getting to annoyed with the bugs, so i called AT&T asking them for a replacement (I just got Lucky so don't you think you can call AT&T for a replacement. I recommend you not to get it, but it is totally up to you.
Here is the WM 6.5 link:

This section is for posting software releases, development software, and hacks. General questions go in the Questions and Answers section.
For those new to XDA-Developers, we only support HTC manufactured devices, and as such there will not be a section for roms from the LG Incite, as it is obviously not a HTC product.
Im trying to find info or better yet a tutorial on how to mainly "port" android, say from a CM nightly over to HD2. I have a bit of experience with coding older motorola phones, so I believe I have the capabilities of learning such a process.
I have read the threads about linux on HD2, and read up on the links that are in it. thats mainly about kernals. nothing about taking an already developed android ROM and making it work w/HD2.
Is there any info that I can read up on, or if anyone wants to give me some info it would be greatly appreciated.
Devs dont really look in the general section do they?

Tell us something about your phone.
What ROM / Radio you have on your phone?
(go to settings / about phone / software info...)
Then you have to choose a build. If you have time it is better to try several and choose the one you are most comfortable in. I tried 5-6 builds so far and yesterday I installed latest JDMS build and am very happy with it. It is not that fancy looking like Desire HD builds but it is very much faster and for me so far everything works.
As kokfann said it is best to do some research on forums and get a little better picture, but if you are stuck in something let us know. I came to this forum several months ago and I understand how much stressful can be searching the best solution on so much information here. And as I see often lots of people here are just waiting for a newbie to ask some basic question just to flame him horribly. Do some search and ask if you need something.
Start by reading (at least first several pages):
A Brief guide to Installing and Maintaining Android on HD2
HD2 Linux/Android Q&A Thread - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!!
I am an active Dev in the Vogue android forum (just look)
I'm jholtom
I am thinking about getting an HD2 for Development and other fun stuff.
Is it a good dev phone and such?
Would I find a transition from Vogue to HD2 smooth or difficult in terms of rom cooking?
Thanks
jholtom
Well WinMo cooking has kind of died off when android appeared. And now that WP7 is available too, you can expect WinMo to be less popular.
Onto topic, yes it is a fun dev phone. If it weren't, we couldn't have had android and WP7 on our phones so fast. (Thank you DFT )
ok great that means i should assimilate quick with all the activity
I may be a new Dev on HD2 soon
1) You are trying to mention that you're developer in a lot of your post, you think that would save you from beeing called to use search etc? Which moves be to 2 and 3.
2) Use search, read forums, you will find lots of information on development etc na dwould see that HD2 is really good for it.
3) Learn to name your topics "[Q] HD2" is obviously better then usual "please help" that people post, but still far from "[Q] ROM cooking on HD2 compared to Vogue"
PS your only thread as "Dev" has only 1 url to build which is broken and leads to this url is invalid or file was removed.
I have a working espresso build as well as a froyo sense build for the vogue as of now neither has been done. I have just not finished posting all of them yet.
I also have a successful Miui theme and setup for the vogue.
I am in the middle of Exams and have not been able to release my roms yet
So, after having my fix of Android, I've decided to move onto a Windows phone. Just to expierence something new. Hopefully picking up the AT&T HD7s tomorrow, any reviews on that to start out?
But as the topic states, have a few questions that wil most likely refer to android since ofcourse I'm more familiar with that.
First things first, is there a thing as such as rooting/jailbreaking a Windows phone?
What about roms?
Also, i've read a lot about the Mango update, do most phones have that now?
And finally, whats your favorite feature, and what are some good apps to have that the Android market doesnt really have.
I appreciate anyone who answers all of this. I'll toss a thanks because I am sure there are threads out there that answer all this, but it'd be nice to have a few collective thoughts all in once place.
Hey check where are you posting on!
Nor this is a general forum for windows mobile or windows phone or android. This forum is about Development and Hacking on Windows Mobile.
You're query seems to be related to windows phone so post in Windows Phone 7 General, WP7 Q&A or Forum General.
Mods, please move the thread and keep the forum clean.
Thanks...
Best Regards
