Hi,
Since it isn't really possible to get TMC working with windows mobile on the HD2, is it possible to get it to work with android instead?
Thanks
I've just bought another HTC HD2 had the power supply on the old one packed up and I can only charge the batteries ( I have 4 now) out of the phone, I've previously installed the Energy Rom and it was working brilliantly with its 16 gig microSd card and Tomtom installed.
My question is, there are links here to HOW TO INSTALL WP7 to HTC HD2, even I can follow them BUT, can I use my old apps "6.5" in the new WP7 OS, I'm not sure if its worth changing to WP7 if the old apps wont work like Skype and such.
Thanks in advance.

No, it's bit like asking if you can run iPhone apps on WM6.5 - just can't be done unfortunately.
Thx alot....
I was hoping that some apps were backwardly compatible, but I guess not.
Thanks again, I might play around on the phone thats being returned, it wont matter if I brick it lol.
Sadly not. There are some that have been recreated for WP7 but there is such a disparity in the underlying software architectures that porting just ain't gonna happen...unless someone writes an emulator.
But half of the fun of WP7 is playing with the new apps, some of which are quite sexy and a big step on from WM6.5.
^Maybe but i dont have igo primo for wp7? anyway is there any app for wp7 like igo ?
things are moving fast,every thing is possible but as mentioned above WP7 is made to be the new face for Microsoft and the past is past.
as for emulator, it could be the right answer.
but i don't think it would be for the HD2 and HD7 in their current hardware versions.

If you live in Europe then you can try Navigon Select. Pretty basic but does the job quite well and has the same map source as iGo
For the USA there is a free sat nav software in the Marketplace called A-to-B. This app has european maps (at least for my country quite good ones!), but turn by turn is US only for the moment. European voice guidance is coming soon.
I recall reading that WP7 is based on Windows CE 6.0 (R2, I think). I've also read of GPS devices with CE6 that run some CE5.x apps (after unlocking). In fact, no CE version has ever broken compatibility with previous versions. What usually gets in the way is the layer on top of CE: Windows Mobile before and WP7 now. With WM, problems attempting to run an app in a different version than it was designed for are usually due to 1) version checks during installation failing, 2) version checks at runtime failing, and 3) missing DLLs. I have a lot of experience with overcoming all three in order to get WM apps running on plain CE devices (like GPS devices), so, once I install WP7 on my HD2, I'll see what I can do. Microsoft has made a lot of changes to WP7 to cripple the underlying OS (ex. CE6 supports multitasking), so they may have removed or implemented something that I'm not aware of to lock the phone down and purposely break compatibility (afterall, if WM apps can be made to run, it'd undo what they're trying to accomplish, security-wise), but I'll give it a shot.
there is nothing to stop us having 6.5 apps run on here, both software and hardware are compatible BUT WP7 doesnt use the same set of APIs, so WM6.5 programs would need to be reprogramed (mostly around the UI and hardware interface) to work, of course if they were going to do that then they may as well just write a native program.
This also would mean your phone would need to be unlocked, soooo unless someone developes an emulation layer as a go between you'll not get them working im afraid.
just wandering....
is there anyone in this forum succed or try to port window mobile to android device....
thanks......
ps: i'm sorry if i post on wrong section......
I would love to use Windows Mobile on my Motorola Milestone
Good question,I was going to ask it
since I have a chinese clone of Xperia X10.The funny part is that it was first released with WM 6.5 as the ROM.
http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods-5419-Smart+X10+Dual+os+37inch+WVGA+capacitive+screen+windows+Wifi+GPS+smart+phoneDual+sim+standby+WIFI+GPS+50MP+came.html
But I got it as android 2.2 froyo which is incapable of installing adobe flash player and it cannot even play divx/xvid movies. So I plan to switch to windows mobile 6.5 which is much familiar and was using xperia X1 for years.
I also like to know the reversing of OS is possible and like to know the process of doing it.I dont now even have the ROM of WM6.5 for it along with me.Somebody
Anyone.
This WP7 os stinks as to the proprietary nature.
I have I nice new Samsung Focus with no AT&T applications and the .7008 os.
What I wonder about:
Can the windows mobile 6.5.3/6.5 be installed on that phone?
I have a Samsung Omnia II also and some applications I really dig.
And so the Focus is a nice phone (for me) but the WP7 stinks.
Can not even syncronize directly with Outlook (an IPhone can and that is also a g.d. proprietary phone)
Anyone have the needed cookbook and tools?
That is, given it is possible to downgrade.
The os for 6.5.3 I have, but I can not use Octans on the Focus so if it is possible in some way to downgrade the phone I need something similar that works with the WP7 phone, Focus
As there is no HSPL for the Focus and none of the drivers that would be needed in WM6.5.3 for the Focus's Hardware you currently won't be able to downgrade.
Thread should be in the Foucs Forum anyway, not Omnia 7.
Dear,
As the title itself states..
My mobile is:-
Mobile: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0
OS: Android 2.2 Froyo
I had an HTC TyTN 2 once; I flashed it using a Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM from this website few years back. It worked quite cool..
To be honest I just love the Windows Mobile interface and the way it operates.. I mean it really looks like one is using a "WINDOWS" mobile.
I just love the way it looked..
Now as time passed. I switched to a latest phone which is operated by Android rather than Windows Mobile.
Now my question is that I know it is impossible to delete my Android 2.2 and Install Windows Mobile 6.0; But is it somehow possible to install Windows Mobile alongside with my Android 2.2 working the way it is working.. You know multi booting like if someone have installed Windows 7 and Windows XP on their computer.. They can launch the one they wish... or sometimes using some software they can launch the Windows XP while Windows 7 is running.
It is possible to get something similar to my device???
Thank you
Faisal.
You can always buy a HD2 off ebay since it was the last phone with Windows mobile and is still in development since it can run Android, WP7 or linux and recently Cotulla showed off his one running WP8 and windows RT

Any chance to give better hardware (better than HTC HD2) to Windows Mobile 6.5? Maybe something like NativeSD WM6?
There`s so much valuable old WM software still in use.

He has a Galaxy Tab, not a phone. He should just get an Acer W500 or an HP Slate which both run full Windows.
