Android has the best games

Google
When I first got my vogue I used google to search around and find programs and games. Search around on xda and maybe ppcgeeks using the search built into the sites. As for installing programs you can usually install .cab files from active sync or you can use active sync to copy over the cab file and install it manually. Eventually you'll most likely want to give android a try and possibly Windows Mobile 6.5. Read and research because there are a lot of forums and a lot of answers already out there.

Android on htc HD2??

Hello everyone!
I had a question to ask ...
Some time ago I saw the dualboot windows-android htc available for some.
is also available on HD2?
thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792

i think you can install the dual.root but there is no version of android itself to run on htc hd 2, as i assume.

if they mange to port it yes, ideally it would have a dual boot where you can chose what you want too boot when you turn on the phone.. that would be really nice

what about this? i found this on a website wich i cannot post here because i'm new.

Yes, what he said. You can READ about the progress they have made, but please no posts like:
'Can't you just use the Android from Nexus One?'... The Developers are smart people. So to be honest, there is probably NOTHING you can teach them. Just let them to their job. It is harder then you guys think, so this could take a while.
Enjoy your HD2 as it is. The main reason I want Android is for the appstore. But probably tomorrow the Marketplace will get an update, that allows you to switch regions, install on SD card, and makes it easier for Developers to make apps. Let's hope the Marketplace start getting better within the next months!

there is no android version for htc hd2 i have tried other versions installing on my device but it did not work..... i think people are working on it hopefully sooner or later we will get it.....

Maybe never !!!

thank you guys and sorry.

Where is the movie Transformers 2 located in the phone?

Does anyone know where the movie Transformers 2 is located in the phone? I want to copy it to my desktop computer and analyze it to convert movies similar to it. It has great resolution and great speed when playing on the HTC HD2.

Because it is included with the price of that phone and licensed to that phone only . If you buy a PC with Windows 7 pre installed, it is stealing to to take the boot disks if they are included, and install Win 7 on another machine.
Same here !

Transformer Location...
The Micro card has both Transformer Movies on it & there are
"core programs" on it as well which are needed to make the HD2 work properly, so if you take out the card some programs will not work which is why we are told not to take the card out. Depending upon your expertice you will know what you can do with the card & what (& if needed or want) you can do regarding the card.
Good movies I enjoyed them both.

it came with the TMOUS phones, and they are "liscensed" only for those phones, hence posting would be considered illegal.

Please post the encoding settings once you've analyzed it. Have done a plethora of different encodes, but still haven't found the optimal values.

Thanks for your response

Not to double post but core programs & the movie's on the card are part of the phone OS therefore removing would be classified as illegal. I learned this from a TMO Tech a few nights ago in my search to understand properly, including the small sizes of towers & their locations & where they can go & the waiting time of 40 days before TMO will unl..k your phone for you. (Including the negativity of UMA ).

If this is warez, then so are ROMs and all the HTC programs that are freely distributed here.Those too are also licensed for the particular phone they were on, yet they are cabbed and distributed everyday.

Finaly Windows Phone 7 ported on HTC HD2 [ Video ]!!!

We always knew this day would come, some guys at xda.cn has managed to get WP7 up and running on a HTC HD2. The HD2 which was the only capacitive screen Windows Mobile device was expected to get an unofficial port of WP7. This does not look like the release build of Windows Phone 7 ( Xbox Live tile has a green background in the release build of WP7 ) . In the video you can see that the OS runs quite smoothly on the HD2, and they shows the various hubs like picture and games. The hardware keys have been mapped to mimic the Home and Back buttons, Search was not shown in the video, doesn’t necessarily mean its not there. They also demo the multi-touch pinch to zoom in the picture hub.
It looks nice and all and is a nice hacking feat but do you honestly want to run WP7 on the HD2 or get one of the new WP7 device ?
look the video at pocketnow:

This is indeed a great day to be an HD2 owner.
For the obvious question: when can I get my hands on it?
(Answer does probably have something to do with patience )

I saw that just a bit ago on twitter. Looks very promising. I wouldn't mind being able to boot wp7 just for the netflix streaming!

so excited about it ....

Its because Windows phone 7 needs a licence. You cannot access a few bits (one of them is marketplace ) without activating the OS

I think that may be correct. The ROM's must be big on those devices as they are meant to have more than 512 NAND storage. Hopefully they implement what HTC did in some and use the microSD as extra storage on them

i don't know, but energy's new extreme ROM has the same problem. Might have to do with the size of the port. My ROM is 400mb and that confuses the phone and it said on boot I only was using 56mb of storage.

[Q] No Free Office App?

Well, I'm a bit disappointed. I've searched the forums here and branched out to Google as well and I cannot find a free app for editing Office files. If I just haven't found it yet, please point me in the right direction.
Every WM phone I've owned came with Office preinstalled and every Blackberry has come with Docstogo, both of which had editing capabilities right on the phone.
I'm a new Aria owner now and I just can't believe there isn't a free Office app. Maybe I've missed something?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Download Any Android Paid App For Free Using Applanet MOD EDIT AND YOU KNOW WHY

I'm not looking for anything illegal or stolen. I just can't believe there isn't a free app for the job or that AT&T couldn't spring $10 to load a version of an app capable of editing on such an expensive device.
Am I over looking something?
Thanks.

Thanks for the idea. I'd rather be able to edit files directly on my sd than to have to upload them, edit, then download again. I may have to resort to that if there simply isn't another way.
I still think it's utterly ridiculous to have to pay for the ability to edit or print for that matter (every winmo device I've had came with jetcet5), office documents on a freaking smart phone! What's so smart about it if basic office functions aren't available?
Thanks again.

Microsoft Office on Android? A cab file? Does this run in an emulation layer or are you just being sarcastic?

I don't remember the iphone having any free office editing software either. It makes sense for winmo and blackberry to have this functionality since winmo is a MS platform and blackberry is a business platform. You could try oliveoffice editor it is free and allows you to edit doc/docx files.

Thank you!!! Finally an Office Package, that's FREE, w/editing capabilities! This is obviously still W.I.P., but definitely usable for my needs.
Why doesn't this package get more press? Folks should be raving about it here on the forums. Thanks again.

One reason may be fue to the size of thr Aria. I know I dont do a lot of document editing on this phone due to that.
