Games/Xbox Live + much better media player + a more interesting/unique UI/UX? Why not have the option?
...and Android being open source is actually contributing to parts of its problems - bloat, gimping of features, buggy/crappy skins and modifications. Not sure that being open source is something to throw out as an absolute positive anymore.

That sounds like Communist talk. You red?
I wouldn't mind a WM7 skin. But I have my Xbox for Xbox Live...I don't really play the arcade type games, so I wouldn't have use of Xbox Live on my phone...unless you can put Reach, Tier 1, Crysis 2 or MW2 on a cell phone...with good jitter/ping/lag/etc.
Count me in for a wp7 port.
Ironically some proponents of openness only possess openness in their phones and not their minds. I'd like to see it happen just to see it happen.
Yah I would like to try out wp7 on the evo. I don't think the games would run as good as a real wp7 device.

Omg...have you ever used wm? It is incredibly buggy and maxed out with bloatware. Open source allies for changes. Wm us locked doing so it takes slot if work to change it and fix the problems with it. Wm is single handley the buggiest os out. Thus the reason why a new build of wm comes out every day to three days

What does WM have to do with WP or Android? Android's open source nature is still being abused by both OEMs and carriers.

Yeah WM is definitely buggy but WP7 is supposed to be not buggy and much more fluid.
I just like it for its xbox live integration and gaming features.
I just want to have it just to say. "I have an HTC EVO with android 2.2 that can look like an Iphone, run Ubuntu, play nice with Windows 7, float like a butterfly and sting like a bee" lol

I just can't understand why everyone is going crazy and we don't even have a working unit or a full review. It's supposedly supposed to drop this fall but not even one unit?
I think it is rushed and they are trying to get in the game and secure a position. WM platform was dreadful for me hopefully this changes with WP7.

Yes Winmo sucks, but I hope the new 7 series will do something with this, and if it becomes a good mobile OS i don't want to buy a new phone.. I love my N1 and i think it could be fun to play with.
As far as becoming a good mobile OS, it's not off to a good start. No multitasking, no copy/paste, and today I saw someone say that Microsoft has disallowed development of applications that rival native applications. Seriously, are they retarded? Those are some of the worst things people complained about with the iphone.

I'm not so sure about this....
With the Evo not coming to UK waters and no other screen size planned this side of the pond the ROM on the HD2 may well be the only answer.
However, lets not forget.. the Evo has a lot inside which will be different to the HD2 and these short comings won't make the HD2 an Evo in disguise.
It may end up being a sheep in wolf's clothing.
I don't think you'll see it because of driver issues but if enough people want it anything is possible.

Tell that to Winterboard and AndroidLock. But yes, theming isn't supported natively.
However the iPhone port of Android is an actual native port, loaded using OpeniBoot, a custom "iBoot"-style bootloader. And you thought the HTCSPL system was tricky...

Belated, but May the Fourth be with you.
I find it quite unlikely. Developers are still trying to get Android EMULATED, not installed, on the Touch Pro, and that version still suffers from poor battery life and frequent errors.
You can't just drag and drop ROMS from completely different operating systems onto different phones; otherwise, all phones would be sold without an OS installed.
The two phones may be similar in regards to features, but the insides are completely different. For example, the Evo has a maXTouch sensor, while the HD2 does not. So, while you may be able to get Android emulated on the HD2, it doesn't look like it's going to be very possible to transform it into an Evo by giving it the latter's ROM.

Yeah I wouldnt mind hearing from someone that came from say CM5 to the latest stock Froyo. Is it better? Is it worth flashing now seeing as how CM6 is about a week or so away?
I would try it now myself, but I can't give up the dumb little things. (such as trackball wake)
I've used every CM version and every leaked version of Froyo. I was surprised that the final Froyo release seemed faster and smoother than FRF83. The browser seems really fast now and app switching is great thanks to JIT. I like my FRF85B Froyo final setup right now more than I did CM5.0.8. I can't wait for CM6 though.
Super. Wonderful. Amazing. Thank you Google and anyone else on the OHA that contributed to this.
It's great. I love it. I love it even more when someone hands me a HTC Touch Pro2 with Windows Mobile on it... Microsoft shouldn't even be in the mobile business. They should leave it to the experts. It was sad.
If you ever get a chance to put your hands on Windows Mobile... do it. It will make you appreciate your Android phone more than when you bought it.

Look at my sig pic, WM is all I ever used for years. I dabbled with android with emulators on my Fuze, then finally made the jump when the N1 was released. After using it for 1 day, I was emotional.

I don't think the JIT would have much impact on app switching. The highmem kernel OTOH makes a huge difference. My launcher was always relaunching when switching from big apps such as the browser or navigation. Since upgrading to froyo I haven't seen the launcher restart once.

Yeah you are probably right. I just thought I read somewhere that JIT had benefits for loading apps, it might have just been for 3rd party apps because JIT converts to native code before processing (something like that).

The JIT actually wouldn't have any impact on loading times. The standard interpreted code is always run initially. It's only once the app starts running that the JIT is able to locate frequently accessed blocks of code that would benefit from compiling to native code.

I too have used CyanogenMod since I had my G1. I DID play with, and greatly enjoy the Froyo ROM when it was released by PaulObrien.
But I did miss some of Cyanogens special additions, so I went back to it a few weeks ago.
Now with the latest Froyo out, I may change over - AGAIN!

hahaha, funny you mentioned that.
A co-worker of mine approached me, and said he bought this Android™ phone from a friend. He heard that I know about Android, rooting, apps, etc. so he had some questions for me. He hands me the phone, and I was thrilled to hold this LARGE HTC DEVICE in my hand. I haven't held an EVO, yet, so imagine my joy!!! My first time ya know so I was honored.
It was branded T-MOBILE though ... hhmm, this can't be right!!! It should say Sprint!!!
After seeing the homescreen and tapping/flicking/swiping for all of 1.0 seconds, I handed it back to him and told him he has a Windows Mobile device - NOT ANDROID, and boy oh boy, was he pissed!!!! LMAO
Poor guy!
"If you ever get a chance to put your hands on Windows Mobile... do it. It will make you appreciate your Android phone more than when you bought it."

well, my question is, where is this? did anyone ever make a working rom out of it? I have an incredible and even though ios is closed i would definitely love to try it, and lets be honest, ios is pretty smooth.
I know its slow, but i'd love to try it. have any android devs spent any time on this?
seriously, i know people would be interested in this rom if devs got it ported (to the incredible!!), as evidence, look how many people like miui
where is it?
thanks

there is a ton about this on google^
I know they say it runs super slow, but if someone worked on it i'm sure they could speed it up. (and it be pretty awesome anyway)
the thing is, i dont even know where the rom is (or if it exists, im starting to think it doesnt)
why the hell would you get an android phone to put an iphone theme(rom) on it???? sounds kinda stupid to me, why not just go buy an iphone??
Well it would be pretty cool to try. And the iPhone apps are pretty nice if they'd work.
The ui and apps are pretty good.

Sorry to burst your bubble but it's not iOS. You can see that the wallpaper scrolls as the user scrolls through the different home screens. That implementation is only on Android. It's probably just a cleverly made skin (right down to folders) used to simulate the iPhone. The two OS' are written in two different Linux kernels which makes it incompatible to be ported.
Yeah it would be neat though.

Just imagine a Rom with all your favorite Aosp features tied in with the sense framework like camera and tv etc I and some buddy's have teamed up to bring this to you you've got two experts in sense porting and an infamous aosp developer working together to bring you the user base an experience beyond anything that's out there. This thread is just a small teaser PROJECT BARLAN will blow your mind when we're in gama stages. I just decided to post this for some hype to spread I doubt most are ready for what we have to offer
AOSP with HTC framework, camera etc., might be enough to tempt me away from Sense ROMs. Bring it on. Happy to give it a test when you get something together.
if it will be really possible to use the most Framework and apps such as boomsound/ HK on aosp and also the cam i would definitely Flash it asap
The three of us have three different concepts for how we can do this we are currently just tossing around ideas between each other, currently I'm running IC with most gpe parts plugged in. So aosp feel with Harman kardon and HTC camera but I wouldn't release this pre alpha before fixing some things up. But with HTC being closer to Google source who knows. Basically this idea kinda bloomed on the jewel after I did some tinkering. The HTC camera works best with sense and I've known that forever my idea for the yesteryear devices was miui patch Rom then decompile everything see what libs bins files etc where called from the sense framework for miui patch Rom to work and go from there. But I think they're not even up to date with kit Kat with that so I've been improvising and due to an individual on Google+ who ticked me off enough to do this, cause my real passion is with sense you've got project barlan. It was either this or finish up m8 win mobile but Microsoft MO imho has been dead since 6.5
