HTC Hero interface

any chance to get it working on rhodium??
see the video...
http://www.macitynet.it/macity/aA38603/htc_hero_arriva_il_terzo_android_con_nuova_interfaccia.shtml

Nice interface, but I think it's a very long way off any hope of being ported for the Rhodium, and thats if anyone sees it as a great advantage. It would be a massive project.
Seems to be largely based on TF3D, just remoulded, and probably re-engineered. Looks a lot smoother, but then again it's only a video and they can make it look as smooth as they like! Certainly has all the trademarks of a HTC interface though....like a cross between TF3D and PointUI.
When is this device out anyway? It would be typical of HTC to announce a new one, only weeks after we've all forked out for our Rhodiums!

here's hoping HTC bundle something similar with their 6.5 update for the rhodium!

We shouldn't need to port it.
In a press release HTC have stated that the Sense UI will be rolled out across all HTC handsets, regardless of OS.
Check front page of my site in my link for more details (don't want to spam this forum as I like it here )

jeah i think the will develope it for win mobile 6.5 and android. so we can hope this interface wil come to our TP2

i hope so...but knowing htc i think the new interface will be available for new devices (devices released after the HTC Hero...)...i hope im wrong...

I don't think so, they have promised upgrades to 6.5 for diamond 2 and touch pro 2 owners (as part of the sales blurb) and i imagine this is their big push at doing something different, creating a consistent user interface throughout their range regardless of OS.
I think they really want to dominate and they're certainly doing a good job so far.
Now if only I could get flash working with the default browser...

yeah, I have checked it but it also say that it will be available on all new HTC devices moving forward this takes TP2 out of the loop as it is older. Unless they will plan it for the promised WM6.5 version ..

Either way if it's coming to newer devices I'm sure the geniuses here can work out a way to get it running on the TP2 without much effort

this Hero (HTC Sense) really really adorable
Tried android with Raphael, i love the new OS experience

...as i said...

thats waht i said. i think the new interface will come with new windows mobile 6.5 devices. if we have a little luck the TP2 win6.5 update will come with this interface too

and if not that XDA will (hopefully)

Do want!
Looks like a big improvement over TF3D.
Hopefully we'll get this in the official 6.5 upgrade...

yes yes

Apparently this works but it's slower than the TF3D

WM official update to 6.5.3 for Omnia II ???

Hi, I'd like to now, before buiyng Omnia II, if Samsung gives the possibility to update in an official way (maybe through their updates) windows mobile 6.5 to wm 6.5.3 or 6.5.5.
And if there isn't this possibility, to download the unofficial roms from Modaco, obviously i have to be registered, but to register, do i have to pay? Otherwise is there a way to download these roms from xda?
Finally between the Arm1176 800 Mhz of Omnia II and the Snapdragon QSD8250 1Ghz there is a big difference in daily use? theoretically video playback should be the same for standard definition, or not? and windows mobile is almost equally fast for both the processors, or not? where should i see the benefits of Snapdragon?
Thank you very much (and sorry for my bad English)
Bye

Hi,
Samsung didn't announce anything about WinMo 6.5.x upgrades, so I wouldn't bet on it.
Registering at Modaco is free, and the ROMs posted there from Secany are semi-official, some kind of development snapshots from Samsung, and they are getting better and better Maybe Secany will post them here also in the future...
Finally to the difference between the ARM and the snapdragon: With the snapdragon everything will run faster than with the ARM. Especially starting Apps but probably also stuff like viewing pictures. Video playback will mainly depend on the video hardware which has nothing to do with the main processor. As far as the Omnia II is concerned, playback in SD is as smooth as it can get and I didn't notice any significant lags, except for Samsung's own main menu (which you really don't need).

ok, thank you very much WebReaper21 !!!

Nonsense. "Snapdragon" is market name of RISC-architecture CPU with ARM instruction set.
Compare these links, if you have any doubts:
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a6410&c=samsung_s3c6410 - about Omnia II CPU
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a8250&c=qualcomm_snapdragon_qsd8250 - about Snapdragon

These are some nice links. I was referring to the specific Processors as mentioned in the first post (ARM for the OMNIA 2, Snapdragon as in the HD2, I presume). While both processors may have an ARM instruction set, the Snapdragon has a newer and in most applications faster architecture AFAIK.
Please correct me if I'm wrong there...

I'm not kind of geek to tell you if you're wrong or not The only one think I'm sure is that, Snapdragon is way faster than S3C6410. But don't ask me how it does
I think it's time for EOT

WM ROM for Samsung Omnia LITE (GT-B7300)
I'm sorry if this isn't the best spot for this question but I'm doing my best to not clutter up the board with a new thread dedicated to what I'm hoping will be a simple answer.
While in Thailand my girlfriend purchased a Samsung Omnia LITE or GT-B7300, which you can see more of at pdadb.net (search for the GT-B7300, I'd provide a link but as I'm a new account I cannot do that yet. The phone came with a WM 6.5 English and Thai ROM and I'd like to get either...
1. An English and Chinese ROM (preferable so Google Maps works while in Beijing).
2. A way to add on Chinese characters so texts and programs can do simplified Chinese.
I've not see any mention of this phone on XDA; any suggestions on where to get the right ROM or at least have the right character set put on the phone?

I read somewhere (reliable) that someone got an WM6.5.3 update in a Samsung Service Centre, so I believe this version is comming soon

Hi all,
I am planning to upgrdae to WinMo 6.5 through the official update, I have a few questions..
1. Is there a possibility to rollback to 6.1 from 6.5 (without flashing it with custom Roms)
2. Is it faster then 6.1

There are some official 6.1 roms, but you can flash it only with Octans or Octans Mini.
6.5 is a bit slower than 6.1 and has memory leaks.

you don't have to pay to get'em form modaco but it is kinda hard to install them.

There is unofficial service update to win 6.5.3 by Samsung. Version build 23103. This is not public service test update. Don't ask me how i knew that, just believe - wersion 6.5.3 is coming soon.

Is it possible to obtain this update?

In fact, it seems that JD1 ROM is 6.5.3....

Correct, it is.

flashed and using for about a week now and it works great way fast. Using a lite ROM and get 98MB free on fresh boot and 70MB with SPB

The builds starting with 253 were part of the COM3 builds wasn't it?
I wonder how long it'll take verizon to butcher it..
I just can't see flashing this phone until a stock rom is available.
Still looking for other radios too for my community project...

XDANDROID - Is there hope to see it workin' on the i8000?

Hi there
I've seen the works from XDA on getting android working on some HTC...
and i have too say... Lucky bastards!!
Is there hope to see it working on Omnia i8000... and next on the B7610 ?
Maybe some changes in the drivers could do the job

also looking for android to work on i8000

I guess that it's a huge new project, 'cause Omnia II have a totally different processor (Samsung S3C6410) and all other devices XDANDROID supports have Qualcomm MSM chips.

No offence, but if you really like the ...droid so much, why not get a Samsung galaxy instead of the i8000?
I can appreciate, stictly out of experimental interest, why someone would like to run a MacOS on top of Windows. But if somone really likes the Mac so much, why not simply go and get a Mac instead?
Oh well, but then again, it takes all kinds. Some people think it's smart to run win95 on WM....

First of all, i don't own a i8000 but a b7610...
If i could afford a different gadget, i would have an android, an iphone, even a sciphone... but i can't... too bad for me, right
I got the b7610 because it was (and it still is) the most suited for me...
If i can run linux and windows on a single pc, it's the best of both worlds...
The same for windows mobile and android, win 95, whatever OS...
More diversity, more utility, more i can get from my expensive hardware
It has been proved that it can run on the original omnia, and on some HTC's...
So i only ask if is too difficult to port it to omnia II (and Omnia Pro)

I wanna try Android on O2... the reason is that the speed is said to be much better than WM. Yet, I'd to keep my WM OS on when I play games coz I still like my WM games.

Maybe there is a little chance for Android for i8000
Look at this link. This device seems to have hardware (especially CPU) similar to our Omnias

good news
It looks almost the same like a i8000.
I hope samsung isn't going to put a lot of there junk software in this device so we can pick the rom of this device and put it on our device

also looking for android on samsung b7610. every startup.txt fails on loading the kernel...

i just found a tutorial how to compile a kernel. the tutorial is for i900 but may work by loading other cpu driver or whatever
http://andromnia.net/wiki/docs/howto_build_linux_kernel

well over @ modaca, i today dl'ed almar's android,for i800,
and it worked, it booted up after a few tries, but nothing is functional...
no radio, no wifi, no Bt, etc.
and no real performance either
i think we'll never get android working as good on Xperia x1 or touch pro2..

WIN PHONE 7 on Omnia 2

All who would like to request developers for Win Phone 7 on their omnia 2 plzz post a request it below

+1
Yes I would like

I would like too

Even though porting of WP7 has been successful on device such as HD2, however, Microsoft seems not planning to help the developers and hackers in realizing the dream of running WP7, so most likely even if the porting is successful, most or some features and applications are NOT likely to work.
Refer to: http://wmpoweruser.com/microsoft-comments-on-windows-phone-7-htc-hd2-port/

I want it too...

I would like to play with wp7 on my omnia2

i would love to have wp7 too! i support your team, gurus!

who wouldn't want if possible?
Omnia2 isn't in the same league with HD2 in terms of hardware specs.even if it's possible, i guess it will be extremely slow

Microsoft has officiallly announced that no WM6.5 or WM6.1 operator can upgrade to Windows Phone 7....even by flashing......

Which version? I've got quite different experience in that matter. Omnia II i8000 has too slow processor (old ARM11 unit), slow GPU and tiny amount of RAM (256MB)

I8000 really interesting

I do not understand why people intend to compare a phone produced in 2009 with Samsung Galaxy S4 or iphone5 hardware ?
When it was produced it was one of the best. Even today for someone that loves his phone, or simply doesn't wan't/ doesn't have to spend too much money for a better phone i8000 is very good and if you port android on it, with the combination of the two OS can do many many jobs
Now about Firefox OS according to this
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Introduction
YES, firefox os is possible theoretically to run on our phone.
The problem is drivers, drivers, drivers.
If any one of these phones will ever run ported Firefox OS, we may have chances to see it on our phone. If not i think none will write drivers from zero point.
