Hi everyone,
There is so much involved with smartphones today, you want to get something that you will enjoy using. So I have an old htc touch,rooted and unlocked running one of DZO's roms running froyo and my contract is up with bell.
i'm thinking about getting the Atrix. I am curious about whether or not i am able to remove the motoblur with a rom install and if we will be able to add codecs to the multimedia part of the phone. ie. .mkv's

Hey everyone, I've currently been using a Mytouch 3g and well I need a phone with a keyboard lol I just like the faster response keyboard phones have. So I was wondering which would be a better buy if I wanted a phone with a keyboard that operates on android....
morola cliq G1 or (??) if there's another one that runs android?
Also if I did decide to get the cliq, would i be able to still rom it like i did my MT3G?
thanks for your help
For T-Mobile There is also the Behold 2. I don't know if you will still be able to flash roms. You don't be able to flash roms from this site because this is for htc phones. You are going to have to find another forum. I don't know if you will be able to find ROM's of such high quality that you will find here, however.
yeah that's what i figured, i just love having a phone with a keyboard. Is there anything else like the G1 that can still be rom'd
for t-mobile? No. The G1 and MyTouch are the only HTC devices for t-mobile with Android.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to Android having got my HTC Tattoo during the week.
I'm wondering if there is any way to get Android 2 (Eclair) onto my Tattoo? I've googled for it but there's only instructions for the Hero.
I don't care if its a vanilla ROM without Sense UI. I'm just looking for an update to help improve battery life and bluetooth functionality (plus I like to have all the latest versions of things ).
I emailed HTC about it and they said they couldn't confirm if the Tattoo was getting the update (which probably means it won't...)
Also, I'd rather not use a buggy beta ROM .
Thanks in advance,
Keith
PS: I know people managed to get a V2 ROM onto the G1 by rooting but I presume it's differen for the Tattoo because the different screen size, addition of FM radio etc.
I'm planning to buy Wildfire next month, seeing Froyo will be coming soon on it. I'm good at modding motorolas, linux and likewise stuff. But I've not come across any of android modding yet.
I've so far come to know some custom ROMs are available on Wildfire. Are they safe and worth to flash? Also, altogether does Wildfire support a complete suite of mods? I mean not just rooting, but does it support what all HTC doesn't want it to support?
Please make me aware of the current modding scenario and possibilities so that I can decide whether or not to buy a Wildfire. (I can't really stay on defaults, so I'm asking for mods)
Cheers....
anyone? :!

Are they safe and worth to flash? yes pretty safe.
does Wildfire support a complete suite of mods? yes,roms,themes etc
but does it support what all HTC doesn't want it to support? i guess so yes
There is one issue that makes modding a little bit harder on Wildfire until you know about it.
The problem is the same as on HTC Desire. You need to go into recovery and mount up system to be able to for instance change fonts. This can be solved by using modded kernels , some are already available for some versions of the roms that are available right now.
Other than that I guess it is as moddable as any other Android Phone.
Great.... Recovery and mounting won't be a problem if I'd get a good guide at the first time.
I'd buy the phone soon! Getting excited to mod it up on the first day itself!
My wife is trading up to a Rezound and I would like to load a ROM on her phone that would turn it into a media player for my son. Does anyone know of such a ROM? Would like it to not have a working radio so he would not accidental call 911 and obviously don't need apps like messenger , dialer and bloatware. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Any rom will do... but Imo if you put aokp 29 on that i500, your wife will switch back to it over that rezound. 4g is about the only major advantage the Rezound has over tha fascinate. I doubt ICS source will ever be release and neither will s-off. Also many folks are having SMS issues with the Rezound, which is why Verizon discounted the POS already
Hello everyone, I just recently lost my phone and im officially back on the market for a new smartphone. I was wondering what everyone thinks about the HTC HD2. I haven't seen any good reviews on youtube--at least not specifically running on Android... Can anyone give me some input?
HTC HD2 originally runs on Windows (which im not used to) but it seems pretty similar to android according to some youtube videos [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neQ_iFf4s2Y]
So what do you guys think? If I do get the HD2.. should I flash it to ICS? Jellybean? Gingerbread? Or just stick with the windows? And if I do flash it.. does it compromise the speed?
Thank you for your help!

Depending of the price you are going to buy one, this is still the greatest phone made by HTC.
You can flash whatever rom you want, ICS and JB run smooth.
The HD2 is THE allrounder smartphone ever made
Great Hardware and open for multple Operating System
You should flash android anyway
There are very good ICS and JB roms out there
I for myself sticked to GB roms (MIUI GB Version most of the time i had one) because the camera was running much better
then in the ICS or JB roms and that never got fixed.
Its a great phone
Here in Hamburg / Germany the phone cost between 120€ and 200 € depending on its condition
Hope that helps you

The HD2 supports a wide variety of operating systems: Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, all versions of Android, Ubuntu, Maemo... If you like wasting time flashing your phone, then the HD2 is definitely the best choice.
The most stable Android builds so far are still the Gingerbread ones, but JB is not bad either. Developer interest for the HD2 is slowly decreasing, but there are still a few builds out there that get regular updates.

if you are capable of a slightly-more-technical-than-most-phones flashing process, and want a technical toy with roms and options and possibilities that may or may not be running 100% correctly, may have a glitch or two here and there, but gives you as much freedom as you can cope with, then get a HD2.
As to what you should flash, , flash everything, if you like a rom, use it, if you don't, change it.
If you want a 100% android phone and are only interested in maybe skinning up a rom, changing icons, installing apps, then get an android phone.
The HD2 has great xda support, it really is one of the best. However, I would not consider the HD2 unless you could get it for really cheap
HD2 Pros
Great xda support with tons of different OS
No really, I will only buy Nexus phones now because i was spoiled on how great the support was for the HD2... It seemed no other phones reached the level of HD2 (for andriod)
HD2 Cons:
Hardware buttons do not last very long (~year) and I much prefer software/touch buttons.
Outdated hardware. EX: Galaxy Nexus is much faster/refined
Other issues that may or may not have been fixed since i last used the HD2:
Corrupt blocks causing random crashes
Bad Multi-touch (sucks for games)
Battery life kinda sucked
