[Q] Could I have WIN and Android? - Omnia II General

Hi Friends!!!
It´s time to upgrade from my HTC Universal, and who knows from windows mobile.
(I can buy for a decent price a OmniaII....)
So my question is (and sorry if its a already asked question) can I have dual OS?
And if its possible, when I go from android to WM (or vice versa), do I have a Hard reset?
(Do I need to install everything???) or the os are "freezed".
Whope that you understand.
Thanks

I cannot see why not.

Thanks ChrisMitsis,

Hi, I have now my Omnia II with win 6.5.3 from which I can run android. And if I want to use Win again, i just have to soft reset the phone and omnia starts as usually with win But there are still some troubles with froyo maybe you should buy a "normal" android phone instead, huh?

try Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0

Is it possible? Multi Bootloader instead of original ROM?

Has anyone made it? It'd be great if someone has cooked such ROM.
Imagine that you could switch between WM, Android and Linux. Or a port of iphone os for WM device.
Ohh, and good would be to have Symbian or BB OS ported, too!

sorry but keep on dreaming, that never will happen...
android is being ported and propably be bootable directly someday, but all the others...no. They are made for a completely different architecture, so it won't be possible

While ports iPhone OS, BB OS, and Symbian are absolutely out of the question, there are some potential ways they are looking at to natively boot Android. The most recent one would have to be here, and it makes use of code injection into the original SPL in order to boot Android directly, but it's still just an idea for the moment.
The Phone with the storage to include so many operation systems at once is yet to be invented....
...and besides... why would anyone want to downgrade his WM phone?
Right now i'm using wm 6.5 , liunix and hopefully will get android running in my phone (thanx to the hard work of the developers) but i can not book into liunix straight after soft reset... so has to go in wm6.5 and start it manually... I'm using HTC Universal....

Damn it, but Android is the best mobile OS and you want to replace it with Windows Mobile? Why?

Some people prefer WM os 'cause they see it a little more "in their style"
That's not bad...
Personally i prefer Android OS but that's just me
My friend i think you can't have this done in your tattoo :/
I think it's possible ... htc touch2 and htc tattoo is different only in appearance masks, sprecifikacija them is the same
doesn't work on tattoo, different drivers, and wtf, wm sucks, even if i develop software for wm. Like i saw on other posts, if you don't like android because linux is hard, just sell the phone and buy wm phones.
so, yes or no? I`m interested too.

Write the corresponding winmo drivers for tattoo and then it'll work - have fun, since this is a hell of work coming towards one
dont think so
hi
guys i have Jade which has the same specs as the Tattoo and they guys at the jade section have been trying the reverse of what u want and it seems impossible so i got this one just to try out the android so i think its the same here so if u really wana try Winmo 6.5 then buy a winmo
I think its possible
I Think that it is possible to install windows 6.5 on tattoo
Here it is , but it´s in chinese but i read somewere that it includes english
My tattoo isnt rooted so i can´t try it, is anyone willing to try ??

The link has spaces because i am new i can´t post links
I don't know chinese, but with google translator I found that this is for a clone with wm with a different hardware:

So, you cannot install these roms on tattoo.

This won't work, you can only get bricked trying to flash it or whatever... It can't possibly work without editing anything lol
Who in the world would install windows over linux? You gotta be insane to do that!

Sorry to break your bubble, but there's still no Android that can run from NAND yet, so, no, you cant replace WM with android yet. Devs are working on it, tho. As of now, you can only dual boot WM and Android. Frankly, I love the fact that we can have both OS's, I mean, which other phone can do that as good as our beloved HD2 does? And, we also have Ubuntu, and will soon also have Meego and WP7! The HD2 is THE most versatile phone ever!

Vice Versa

Hello,
I have a question about having windows mobile 6.x on windows phone 7 devices. In Microsoft, or elsewhere, forum they said that downgrading from WP7 to WM6.x is not possible just as upgrading from WM6.x to WP7.
Well, since it is been done to upgrade to WP7, I was wondering if downgrade is possible?
Thank you.
You can downgrade to WM6.5 from WP7. Just flash your 6.5 ROM as you normally would through the bootloader, this will remove MAGLDR as well as WP7 and return your phone to 6.5

Nope, I think he's talking about a WP7 native phone, so no MAGLDR no downgrade AFAIK.
PS. this should go to Q&A
Yes, I have WP7 native and would be most happy to downgrade it to WM6.5. I guess that it isn't posible to do it now, because there are no tools created for it, but it would be nice to know that it just could be possible to do it.
Anything is possible with the right developers behind your phone. Cottula was the savior for our phone!

Well, I do really hope that development will go, just a bit, to that direction.

I wouldn't wait for that to happen. The WM6.5 drivers would have to be created from scratch.
If you *really* want a good WM6.5 device, get a HD2 with a good ROM on it.
Yes, but the problem is that I have already purchased the phone. I do like it, but a bit anxious for new apps. I've considered HD2 long time ago, and I always had a qwerty keyboard on the phone (Wizard, Raphael, Kovsky, Xperia X2, Touch Pro 2 and now 7 Pro) cause I like it. But, unless WP7 starts to develop, HD2 is the best possible solution.
Thank you krazyakar.

Help re Omnia i8000

I gave my Mum my previous Omnia i8000 mobile phone as I myself updated to the Samsung Galaxy SII and would appreciate some help here.
1. Where can I get or donwload a good keyboard for this phone, say something that better than the default/standard one, one with swype would be good.
2. The phone runs Windows Mobile Version 6.1, CE OS 5.2.21006 (BUILD 21006.1.5.74).
Can I update this ROM to version say 6.5 or anything better that will make this phone run smoothly.
Thanks
wm 6.5 lags alot too. dont bother
