[BOUNTY] Desire HD HTC eReader app for HD2 Android port - HD2 General

I wonder if anyone is working on a working Desire HD eReader application for HD2Desire Hd rom ports for HD2. It is just about the only goodie from the Desire HD rom that does not work with HD2. Yet it is an application I love to death going by what the eReader has to offer in the Winmo side of the HD2. Sometimes I am forced to boot into winmo side just to use this app.
I know I can use other ereader apps available in the Market including FB Reader but I know for sure I desire to have a working eReader app with my Desire Hd rom - I am currently using MDJ Revolution themed HD 1.2 rom....
So now I would wish to start this BOUNTY thread hoping that the bounty might entice more modders/devs to please get us the HTC eReader working.
20 US Dollars from me for whoever cracks this and gives us a working HTC eReader app for Android HD2.......

[Q] HTC Locations without Desire HD ROM?

Hi,
I know that the Desire HD builds contain the new HTC Locations app. Can this tool also be downloaded and run on other Android builds, if yes, is there a link?
Thank you
no as far as am aware its only included in the desire hd rom, dunno if they would be able to port it to another android build, you know the guys and gals on here they are pretty niffty at getting things to work, you probly find that they will concentrate on developing the hd desire rom rather than porting things to other builds, i think it will be highly unlike you'll see it in any of the other builds, they might do it eventually for froyo, as its only on sense just now.

[Q] Desire HD Rom for HD2 - Is It Possible to Extract the eReader?

I have seen that the new Desire HD has a very nice hTC eReader app similar to the HD2 winmo eReader app. The only reason I keep on going to winmo these days is to use the beautiful ereader coz I dont dig the FBreader and other generic android readers.
Is it possible to extract the ereader from the Desire HD rom for use with other preferred android roms for HD2. I know the app is not fuly working even with the Desire HD beta rom for HD2 but I am hoping interested modders can take a more keen interest in it. Thx

HTCSense.com for Incredible

I saw a post on twitter that HTCSense.com was now also supporting the Incredible. However, when I tried to create an account, only Desire Z and Desire HD were the choices of supported devices.
Has anyone had a different experience or been able to use it on their Dinc? If so, how did you do it?
Thank you in advance.
same thing on mine. was the twitter post from htc or some random person?
I would guess the twitter was by someone running a Desire HD rom. I have been using IncDoes HD rom and am able to use htcsense.com although not all features are working yet.
If you are running a port like the HD Desire port you can make an account saying you have a desire phone and it worked for me this way.
Ya I also had created an account on one of the roms I was messing with last week, but loaded uncommon sense so now its gone. But it has some cool features like remote wipe/lock. GPS phone tracker and you can send sms from the HTC site.
thats because uncommon sense doesnt use the new HD sense port. u have to be using a ported rom of the new sense for HTCsense.com to work....

HD2 VS Desire

What should I buy a HD2 and run Android 2.2 on it or buy a Desire, there practical the same price so i was wondering!
I really like the Android. How's the battery life with android on a HD2? Is it as stable as on a Desire?
thanks
i would go for the hd2,dont know for the desire but hd2 with android 1 day with medium use
HD2 running windows and ANDROID gets my vote..
BUT you've posted this in the wrong forum... this is one is all about specific android builds and kernels!
GET THE DESIRE!!! Why buy HD2 if you want Android only! Save yourself the hassle and get the Desire.

+1.
I own the HD2 but the constant PPP dropouts at the moment for me make it almost unusable for mobile internet, the battery life is great for my casual usage though.
If you want everything working and stable, just go for the Desire.
Desire HD of course...

Windows is toast now and WP7 seems to do not work as expected.
Go for Android and forget Windows
If u want android only, go with Desire (I think Desire HD would cost more but it's a lot better than the original Desire)
If u like having a classic version of windows mobile (WinMo 6.5.x) with Android in the same phone, then go with HD2 and be ready to read a lot of threads on how to flash the right ROMS in order to run Android in a good shape)

I like the Sense UI but I don't like the "over-red" screen of desire. I also like big screen. so, my only choice is only HD2+android now.
Mate get the Desire or the Desire HD.
for me is HD2 not because of android but because of the screen.
I own both and i prefer HD2 with Android even if it has some minor bugs at the moment.
Most of them are eliminated with NAND.
I have HD2 running Android (Desire HD ROM), my wife just upgraded getting a Desire HD...
After playing with both, I'll be getting a Desire HD - so much more stable and fast as lightning (especially boot up - only a few seconds!)
Hope that helps?

HD2
the hd2 is a superphone, the desire is just android that is locked and restricted. you will most likely end up modding it. so why not get the one with option's? and run multiple versions of android instead of being stuck with 1.... just my opinion
depends on what are u basically... If u r a techie guru or who loves experimenting get a hd2 - why? u can run wm 6.5, android and shortly WP7 and meego - 4 OS
if u r happy with android then get a 3.7 inches 1500mAH Desire..
Else wait for Desire HD or WP7 phones.. but i see ur one of the criterion is price as well... so best is to choose which u think u should be using say 6 mths down the line
Happy buying.. spend judiciously..
HTC Desire HD for sure.why do you want to buy a windows mobile device and struggle every day either to try the android rom modifications(never working 100% and stable) or sit and make an android rom for it.
Also,if you are buying such a highly priced mobile device,why not go with the latest which has the newest and the best features.
The desire HD has a next generation snapdragon processor,768mb RAM,1.5gb ROM,dolby mobile,SRS WOW HD,8mb camera with 720p recording at 30fps.
don't these specifications literally shout at you saying - " WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED !!!!!!!!!!!! "
invest your hard earned money smarty.

Karan.
I say HD2. My android hasn't had a PPP drop yet with Phiremod 1.7. (knock on wood)
Um... exactly why are people talking about the Desire HD? Did the OP ask about it? Nope.
Between the Desire and the HD2, definitely the HD2. Nice big screen, nice and thin, and fast. The Android roms are awesome. Anybody who tells you they aren't stable needs to change builds.
Not to mention the fact that people are working on porting MeeGo and WP7.
Anyway, that's my opinion.
WP7 is more like Zune 202 for microsoft. They are going to learn their lesson the hard way...

Whould you give another 100Euros for a DESIRE HD?

I want to give another 100 Euros for a new desire hd and I'am in doubt is somebody who has both devices and say that is a huge difference betwen thouse two?
I don't have both devices, so I don't know how different a real Desire HD will be from a HD2 running a Desire HD build.
However, €100 for a Desire HD sounds like a bargain. I'd certainly go for it.

I think he was talking about giving his HD2 plus 100 euros for a Desire HD which is a bit different than buying a Desire HD for 100euros
/ontopic - I would!

Heh, that would make a bit more sense.
Hmm... I'm not sure I would, if that's the case. Even though I hardly ever use Windows Mobile nowadays, I like the fact you can run multiple OS's on the HD2. The Desire HD is a wonderful phone, I'm sure, but for me it's not enough of an upgrade to consider moving from my HD2.
Hd2 vs desire hd
well...
HD2 vs DESIRE HD
hd2-can choose many builds..one day you can even run WP7..can use ram builds!

Did you played with your gf phone? how is with new buttons, I heard the screen is same as hd2. And Be more clear her desire hd is a bit faster or hd2 I cant understand it perfectly?
wait untill NAND comes out. I think on the 1st of January. Then make ur dissision (or however u spell it, stupid dictionary wont correct it :O )
Ok , I°ll wait until 1 st , 2012
I can think of much better ways to spend €100.
The only people I know who say a Desire HD is better than a HD2 running a Desire HD ROM are biased Desire HD owners. I know plently that have said it's the same (if not a little worse). Yeah, they like the fact that it's a truly native Android device, but it doesn't work any better or do anything better, and it doesn't have the capabilities offered by the HD2.

But in the same way, hd2 owners are going to be biased towards saying the hd2 is better. I'm sure once you root and tweak a desire HD like the hd2 is, the desire HD will run better than a hd2. An original desire runs better than a hd2 once it's rooted and tweaked right. Personally, I still wouldn't trade my hd2 for any of them, though, because I still like being able to boot into winmo and easily switch builds, and android runs good enough for me on the hd2. You won't find a better multi-os booting phone. But if you are only going to use android, a native phone can be made to run android better than a hd2.

I have both of them, hd2 is the same as desire hd when i use Mdj froyo sense MDJ FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.4 and even faster when i use ram vertions of android.
Although i tried and the desire hd vertion in my hd2 and i must to admit that is significatly slower than Desire Hd in this occation. But if i had to chose i would chose the hd2 because it is customisable

Is your desire HD rooted and modified like the hd2 builds are? Or is it still stock? It's not really a fair comparison unless its rooted and modded.

No because hd2 have hw buttons.
i wouldn't rather, save 100 eu for later next year..
maybe i can ask here so i don't open another thread, what do you guys think is it worth exchanging my 11m old hd2 for 1m galaxy s and then selling it and buying another hd2 with more warranty? just thinking..
