As HD7 support dolly mobile,does dolly mobile work in WP7 for hd2?
what the hell is dolly mobile?
First, I thought you just made a typo while writing. But you typed in dolly 3 times, so I suppose you think its the name for it.
But its dolby. Just to make that thing clear.
To answer your question:
I just googled, because I wanted to know how dolby mobile works.
And according to this page:
http://www.intomobile.com/2008/05/04/interview-dolby-explain-about-dolby-mobile/
the HD2 will never support Dolby Mobile, because of the missing chipset for it.
But correct me if I am wrong.

hey everyone...
are there any other alternatives then windows mobile?
like a linux?
and are they better or worse?
and does anyone know when the windows mobile 7 comes out?
thanks...
Linux
Windows Mobile 7
From everything I've read (and everything you could have looked up yourself), nothing works on a Wizard as well as Windows. Many come close to working, but unless you like crippled devices, I'd stick to Windows. There are some really nice cooked Windows Mobile 6.1 based ROMS in the Wizard Mobile 6 thread.
I know you're new to these boards, and I was a noob once, too, but please use the search engines, and do some research on your own. Not everyone will be nice about this.
HI,
is it possible to install windows in htc hero instead of android soft. I tried to search but couldnt find anything thanks
BR Sherry
may i ask you why you want to do that???
I think he is just curious to know
yes someone was saying its possible and wanna know if yes or not if yes can anyone explain how?

there is even an easier way to get windows mobile OS: buy a WM Device!
Really a HTC Touch Diamond 2 has basically the exact same Hardware other than the touchscreen which is resistive.
Wanting to flash your android device with WM is as strange as the currently release WM Theme for android.
People are buying android devices to get rid of the old stuff (wm 6-6.5) why on earth would they want to install a WM Theme?!

thanks for ur reply but still it doesn answer wt I asked

Almost every people here is against windows mobile, so I don't think you will obtain an answer, sorry.
Lots of thread were started asking to run windows on these phones (sapphire and dream) and they always ended up wit people saying this is a stupid question.
My opinion is that it would be interesting, such as dual booting in your home PC.
I really wanted to get rid of wm because it stinks. it is slow i have to SR almost everyday it crashed etc. etc.
but now i'm using android my phone works great fast responsive. never needed to restart the phone and its on.
why trading the good stuff for the bad stuff. i used wM/Windows for years and i was never pleased with it now i'm using linux (on pc/hero) and its great IT WORKS so why would you wanna use wm.
youre question technically it would be possible the wm phones have the same hardware. but i think noone succeeded to install wm or viceversa. wm phones can start android but doens't work 100% and when the phone goes off they loose the data
Rather than just bashing WM (which of course I could do) I will state facts.
Android has been hacked to work on WM phones, such as the Vogue, Kaiser, Polaris, Raphael, Diamond, etc. This has been possible because Android is a UI that runs on top of Linux. Linux and Android both being open source, we have the program code for the entire OS at our disposal to change around, hack drivers, and make work on non-Android hardware.
Windows Mobile is (almost) entirely closed-source. This will make it pretty much impossible to run on a phone that it's not licensed to work on. Microsoft and HTC would have to both agree to running WM on the Hero before you'd see that happen.
EDIT: @commodoor: Yes, the hardware appears to be the same, ie. the same chips, but there will be intricate differences like memory addresses, IRQ's etc that would make this darn near impossible to achieve.
Just my tuppence worth...
I thought with the Hero having a capacitive screen that it wouldn't be able to run Windows... Thought the OS was limited to resistive screens... or am I wrong?

Nothing against the poster of the above but REALLY? Putting WM on the Hero seems like the most EPIC FAIL of all time. (I wish we had a facepalm smiley to put in here).
But constructively - from what I understand, putting Android on a WM device is relatively easy (for someone with the knowledge, patience and experience) but putting WM on an Android device is almost impossible.
Technically it would be possible to do... if HTC have drivers for WinMo to talk to the Hero hardware and Microsoft gave HTC a license to put it on the phone... but that ain't gonna happen any day soon.
But then again there exists a whole lot of skilled hackers that can make any toaster run whatever they want it to run... But then again WinMo is closed source. And the skilled hackers don't know how to make any drivers.
And WinMo is a really boring OS. I have an old HTC TyTN (the first one) with WinMo 6 Pro on it. It was really boring to use since the market for that phone was the business people and I am not a business-minded human. I wanted a little more flexibility and a nicer UI to configure the way I want it.
Android + HTC's Sense UI (actually TouchFLO) is giving me that kind of freedom.
Oh... sorry for going really offtopic on this one.
To give you the short answer to the original poster; no you can't. Theoretically yes. Feasible... no.
thread closed
people have given answers.....and ill close before a flame war starts.
thank you
"Windows Mobile 6.5.3 brings a more finger-friendly user interface with several new ease of use features such as support for multitouch"
quote from wiki.
so the question is, whether there is native api for multi-touch (and not using HTC ZOOM_IN or whatever messages)
couldn't find any more info

I think they mean Windows Phone 7. As far a I know there isn't any native support for multitouch in WM 6.5.3 The multi-touch features are implemented in a special OEM driver. (But then again, 6.5.3 is a OEM branch, right?)

i mean 6.5.3
just google "windows mobile 6.5.3 multi touch" everyone's just shouting about the native multi-touch support and capacitative screens.
i'm gonna try to download 6.5.3 DTK for VS.
probably there are sample of new API.
"electronista.com" says "Hooks have also been put in place for multi-touch, though this would still need phone builders to have an actual solution"

I think you are right that there a native api support for multitouch gestures: look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591698 (There's no import of any additional package required)
EDIT: hold on, this was written for WM 6.5 if I can remember it well. So..

the post is 29th November 2009. the solution from l3v5y works on WinMo 6.5.0 (currently i have 6.5.0) so i guess it's also some kind of hack(non native).
also these solutions (also scillors) have some weird bug: when 2 points are almost on the same axis, you get them aligned.
i don't know if that's the driver or hardware issue.
both solutions by l3v5y and scillor are based on HTC drivers as i see.

Ok, I'm getting pretty curious myself. I've browsed through the windows mobile docs on MSDN, browsed through the forums there, did a search on multitouch, but I really can't find anything. The only thing I could find was something about "gesture api's". But these were already implemented in the 6.5 sdk.
So, if you are finding something on this please let me know
(and you are right, when you do a search on 6.5.3 and multitouch on google you get plenty hits about it. The first hit is your first post by the way... lol )

its 6'th to me (rofl) that's some great SEO
just downloaded WM 6.0 SDK, and 6.5.3 DTK...
it seems that the gesture api got expanded or whatever...
---EDIT---
seems we'll have to wait for SDK :>
the easiest way to try, would be to reflash my hd2 with winmo 6.5.3 and catch messages, and see if they differ somehow..
Would it be possible to install Windows Mobile on this device? (Please no stupid comments that android is better than wm, that is irrelevant)
I am interested too buth I never get answer. We have to port winmo rom and acording to android puritans no one have done it. Where to search
I don't understand why somebody would have to install a commercial OS while Android is open source....
I guess that would be very hard to do, because no one is interested in doing that.
Just buy a Winmo phone.
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
