HTC Sense UI

Hi there everyone!!!
This is my first post.
I've the htc topaz ,have just bought it a few days ago , so far very nice phone , but the battery sucks.
I was wondering if there will be a port for HTC Sense UI or Android Hero for this phone. Does anyone knows if using Android on it , would it consume less battery ?
I've bought this phone with the intentions to install Android on it.

If you want to run Android buy a Android phone duuude!
Also it will only make the battery worse, more juice will be needed.
Yeooooooooooo

... welll unfortunately where I live there ins't any android phones available. I live in Finland a place dominate by Nokia . It's very hard to get anything else than LG, Sony Ericsson or Samsung . Other models a extremely expensive ,if you can find other models.

They are available.
I know a lot of scandinavians buy stuff from over the border, and the non vodafone branded Magic is on sale in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. I don't doubt for one second that it is on sale in Finland as well.
But peter chou has hinted that it might make it's way onto existing devices and also in some form onto windows mobile.
You never know, this might be in the next update for the topaz....I doubt it, but you never know!

Android SUCKS!!!
Hi all,
last friday I bought a D2 after 2 weeks with an HTC Dream with Android.
I don't like Android at all.
You have to buy separately Office, PDF and no navigator available (ANDNAV is not an option).
And the battery lasted only one day.
All the things that are working with WM6 are a trouble with Android, and as I use it for work, I don't mind about themes, wallpapers and nonesenses.
Do yourself a favor and don't look for Android. I even would prefer an iphone instead.
Thanks all.

well I would like to see the new Manilla, i'm sick of the current version...

..there is already a rom with manila 2.5!

Yup, Tom Codon has cooked a ROM with WM6.5 and Manila 2.5 - only "beta" though and has lots of bugs as yet - if you want it, you can get it from the rom section

Dev's bored with the HD?

Is it just me or have the major players in the Touch HD ROM Section given up and moved onto newer handsets now? Miri, Dutty etc...

I am also thinking in the same way as you, no body is contributing much toward the HD now a days. At least Android is required for our HDs to enjoy it a little further.

i think they have but it doesnt matter because every chef as multiple good roms to use for daily base
and some are upgraded to newest things that still are in beta but work quite well on oure blackstones
and its quiet from htc/windows side

Duttythroy doesn't post on XDA anymore. He moved to a new website http://htcpedia.com/
On thuesday he released his latest ROM, the "Duttys HD WM6.5 Leo R3". Haven't tried though

Dutty's new rom is nice enough Miri is on vacation until Monday & promises new roms from the newer builds.

well (sadly 4 us ) many of the good devs have multiple devices, and since HTC is puching out like 5 devices each year or more, its natural the would upgrade, myself feel an urge, been looking at the hero, but i am afraid the android launch will leave me bored from not being able to flash in the same way i think miri have a rhodium, i know dutty have a topaz and so on, so since the rhodium and topaz owners can benefit more, i think we lose out some but hey, the HD is getting quite old anyway so maybe we should all just move on
that new LEO device with 1gig processor seem very attractive.....

Where is onkolg?

my guess is our dev are waiting for the official release of wm6.5!

patience guiessssssssssss!!
btw i dont want to move on! THD form factor is perfect. no other phone would be an "upgrade" for me right now

Maybe a Touch HD 2

Throy is still extremely active on the HD. He's just released R4 Leo. Miri is currently on holiday and still active, as are NRG to name a few. So its not over yet!
Throy only has the Touch HD & Touch Diamond 2, think I'll wait and see where all the big names go before I make a decision on what device to choose. For the time being I'm content

To each his own, but for me personally, the only thing I can consider an upgrade would be the Leo. I'm a flashing junky and it saddens me that I have to keep a rom for longer than a week, but all my fave devs aren't releasing new ones as often as they used. Oh well... I guess I better get a girlfriend to partially fill this void

but i guess roms calm down once there is a sable wm build and touchflo.
i really want to see leaks of wm7... i think i'm going to keep my HD for another year then move to LEO 2

I guess people get bored when the phone has been around for some years, I got pretty bored of my Diamond very fast, 2 months after I bought it I bought a Topaz.
Even if the HD is old and outdated (I HATE Manila 2.5/2.6, I won't upgrade for a long time) it's still a great phone to listen to music and watch movies on. It got everything I would ask for except a camera flash.

In addition to that ... what NEWER devices they could move to ? Come on, HD is the best Until Leo comes at least

kwbr
Hey guys, dont forget kwbr!
This guy is still regularly turning out what is, in my opinion at any rate, some of the best ROMs for the HD.
(check it out for yourselves - ROM name = Topix)
LL

I think onkolog might be caught up with studying for the boards (medical licensing) or in internship.

You just have to have patience. A lot of chefs throw out roms quite consistently, but once their roms become stable, output slows. This is enevitable until another build is leaked.

Lets press the Company HTC! For old devices upgrade.

Do someone know when HTC will give out a new htc hd (blackstone) rom? maybe with colour Manila TAB. or something like that.
Because the stock rom is the fastest and most stabile ROM, I think! BUT not a pretty ROM, like the Manila 2.5 and W6.5**. It just need a OVERHAUL!
I think we can have W6.1 with... Manila 2.4 maybe hehe. not as fancy but cooler then Manila 2.1
LET's press the HTC, because they think everyone ****t money to buy a new device every month or week!
im happy with my HTC HD, but i think HTC has forget about us old-device-user! and they come out with upgrade to other "new" devices, but i want somthing to, somthing cool. and if xda and our worlds best developers can, then the htc company with the tecnologi can do it to! wtf i think, crapy done by htc! i have sent 1000 of mails too them and they keep say " dont know" then why do u work at support for god f###.. or? feks. the stock HD ROM have the ugly keybord, i want the new one on a stock rom.. so!
Sorry for my english =P but u guys understand what i meen!

Good Luck with that - Whilst I share your frustration that those who keep faith with Stock ROMs aren't rewarded with updates, the fact is that with the sheer amount of devices that HTC currently release year on year, the odds that some of it's back catalogue will get any such update are quite small.
I eventually gave in and flashed an XDA/Cooked ROM.

Me too ....... I really would appreciate some stock rom, that would have qualities of Duttys rom with Co0kie Home Tab and CHTEditor versatility.

I have flashed xda cooked ROM, but our chiefs have stoped building ROMS with WM6.1, and manilla 2.1. And I prefer the speed and the stability of the WM6.1 and manilla 2.1.

Answer is no, and that is just the nature of business
There are too many new devices out there that they are focusing on (and still have issues), just to name a few, HD2, Nexus One, Desire...
Actually I don't mind them doing so, but at least make it easier for outsiders to access info on older chipsets (MSM), which to me is the main hurdle to maximize performance on the phones.

ok, ur right now as i thinking, but.. WHY! do everyone want WM6.5? is stil laggy after some use, at the begining its WOW cool and fast, stable, but after 2-3 weeks its starts to be slow. so, why not make the 6.1 even better and faster + new design ( manila 2.5) tabs? the rest dont have to be as "cool" as htc hd2 (leo) i allways use the kwbr topix rom, but im dont going from his rom topix 3.5 wwe =D anyway, his new rom topix 3.6 or somthing, is it wm 6.1 or 6.5? heh

u know why? because it takes effort to do software development, you need more people to support two platforms than one. It would have been nice if htc just upgrade/tweak manila 2.1 to 2.5. but from general use, you know that's not the case, as they behave differently (functionality is the same).
So why is this decision made? Could be many reasons, maybe feature, flexibility wise, 2.1 is just not good enough for the future, who knows?
For sure htc is not going to work on 2.1 & 2.5 to acheive the same goal, even though its for different phones, sadly in this industry the upgrade cycle is 6 months to 1 year (just like computers). I am not try to bash on the company, but take a guess which htc phone is at top quality in user experience (hardware & software) at release, and have good upgrades/support after 2 years. When you hang around xda long enough, you will know

ok, i understand now! HTC HD is dead. the company is thinkig about new phones. but if ill buy HTC Desire HD, do i have to keep installing coocked rom's frome here? The HTC Desire is not getting the "new" htc sense, ( htcsense.com) why? its so lalala stupid, look at the xp,vista and win 7. only new design, but u still have internett explorer and other stuff, i dont care about the design, only about nice updats.
thats why i dont like htc loonger, the forget about our phone after 5 months.

Pff, it's useless asking for updates for old HTC devices. They launch a dozen of phones every year. Their goal is to sell the new devices and earn money, not update the old ones for free. I use HTC Touch HD and i haven't seen any official updates on their site, except for some bug fixes and an official ROM which does nothing more than my preinstalled ROM. Haven't checked the updates for other HTC devices, but it's obviously they didn't give a damn about HTC Touch HD immediately after its release.

[Q] Android-usable Windows Mobile Rom including Sense

Hi XDA-Members,
im looking for a Windows Mobile that is Android-capable but also including Sense UI, mostly looking like the original roms.
I`d like to use Windows Mobile in Office (its my Business-phone) and Android for personal Use.
I`d like not to show everyone (especially my chef) that im using Android on my Business phone XD
Is there something like that?

You know about hspl etc.......

I have been running android from my fully featured energy rom without any problems. I think some people in this forum make too big a deal about rom/android build combo.

I used the elegancia roms for quite a while before I finally switched over to a thin wm rom. (Android is pretty much stable for me, so now I use it on a regular basis.) But I can say elegancia rom with radio 2.12.50 worked pretty well for me, on all the builds I tried.

I recommend Dutty's ROMs for a clean, professional look. They appear close to stock, but are vastly better once you get under the surface. Always running the latest builds, too.

[Q] Fully functional android rom

Please don't flame me for asking this question, I've read a lot, but still have not found a definitive answer for this question.
Is there a fully functional android rom (preferably SD) gingerbread or ics, that has everything working ok with no bugs, just like an wm 6.5 rom?
I'm asking this because I'm pondering buying an used HD2 for some android goodness, and can't completely decide if it's the way to go. Since I would like everything to work smooth and stabile, for instance like my stupid iphone 3gs (please don't judge, got it as a gift years ago).
I thank you all for your replies in advance!
p.s. before this crap i had a diamond, tried probably all the roms from 2009 onwards, bricked it only twice

Most roms on here are 100% functional, I love my hd2 but my digitizer is broken

Does the digitizer brake easily on HD2?

Digitizers on HD2 are notorious for breaking! My original HD2 which I had for three years needs a replacement. I love HD2 so much I replaced it with another one running Ansar's WP 7.8 and Boxmax Android in NativeSD. WP 7.8 works wonderfully and is my daily use OS. No problems whatsoever. My Boxmax Android is old and I need updating to its latest build but I find I rarely use it so I always put off on doing that.
By the way, I don't know if anybody has asked u yet but how'd you come about with that handle "rape_artist"? Just curious....

For practical use, yes.
If you look deep enough, no.
Because the HD2 was originally a Windows device some new drivers are simply not available for it.
Having said that, the Typhoon Gingerbread ROM had *everything* working. If one does not need the latest JellyBean ROM it will work flawlessly. The only things that will not work are a few newer apps written for Android 4.x and up, such as Apex or Nova launchers.
The newer ICS and JB ROMs work well but again, you can find a few 720p videos which will not play right. Netflix also has issues and will not run.
If you figure out which exception you can live without the HD2 can be a good choice.

Not the way you probably assume. The good old days when i played unreal tournament 12 hours a day. One time i managed to wipe out 12 man semi professional team alone (playing over a 56k, mind you they all had dsl). One of mine team mates said they got raped, the added that i was an rape artist. The rest is history, nice childhood memories. I do have to add that it is my humble opinion, all rapist (in real life) should be (by law of course) hung from a tree and whipped till they die...
Back on topic. Since i find it useless opening a new topic on wp subforum, i would like to ask you also are there any fully functional windows phone roms? I know they had some big issues a while ago.

Ansar's WP Rom is fully functional! Everything working. I have not tried any of the others b/c I heard there were some problems with BT and headset. I never had any problems with mine. It's been running like butter for over 3-4 months. I haven't updated it cuz I felt no need to.

so would it be a good deal if I could trade in my Iphone directly for an HD2 with no exchange of cash?
