Touch HD ROM Testing

Hi all, I have downloaded Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit and the phone emulators on there are excellent. just wondering if anyone here uses this for test touch hd roms before flashing there devices?
If so do you already have the correct settings and rom files for the touch hd that can be loaded with the Windows Mobile 6.5 tool kit?
Also how do you go about being able to install apps on there or flash a new rom as if you was doing it for real on the handset? I couldn't see a way of copying cab files to it.
I think it would be really useful to have a default emulation of the Touch HD so we can try out apps or roms before installing or flashing the phones saves resetting everything if we don't like them.
Thanks

Have you asked in the Blackstone ROM dev forum ?

No, I wasn't sure if this should go there or in general as it isn't actually a ROM or to do with creating ROM's it more about testing them but maybe it would be better of there.
Can a mod move this to ROM development please?

I'm sure it's not so easy (maybe even not possible) in WinMo-Emualtor.
HD has specific drivers and so on ...
But take a look in this thread:

[Q] TEST ANDROID over other Windows Mobile ROM

I want to know if it is worth a try? What do you think? I sounds like a good idea

I dont know what Roms you have available for your device but it may be worth adding a section with what Roms (stock or custom) work with Android and what ones arent working correctly. While Android is emulated, there are still some WinMo drivers that affect the operation of your Android port and certain Roms may not work.
It may be worth trying to flash a different Rom and then try Android again.

I currently use:
ROM-Version (Vodafone)Switzerland German: 1.41.166.1, (10904) Radio:0.63.05.41
the next one I will try is:
[ROM][25.06.2011][WWE-ITA-FRA-ELL-GER-RUS-SPA-NLD-DAN] ver 3.10 nsourm -build 29022
ver.5 - RUU_Signed_????no_sense_clean.nbh is without sense and cookies home tab and without extra apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801481

The nsourm rom is highly recommended and very stable (version 3.1) I also run this base WM6.5 ROM too (without sense and without cookies home tab). It seems to be quite compatible with the Android port as it mostly follows stock rom philosophy.
The other optional cab that has been installed is the stock icons.cab located here as without it, my SPB shell doesn't show all the icons properly. I have no problems with the Android Loader 1.0 dual boot application (set to autoboot after 10 seconds). I'd first flash the stock ROM then this one if wanting to change from another custom ROM.

you tried over nsourm 3.1 and Android works well, but have you tried over your stock ROM? and have you noticed any difference? such as. that something works better, or that something is not working at all?

I have not tried Android with my stock ROM and don't want to go back to stock ROM either as I still need to use WM6.5 from time to time - because there is no Garmin for Android! Stock ROM used to crash often whereas with nsourm 3.1 it is definitely much more stable given it incorporates more recent builds. I would assume that given nsourm is close to stock ROM philosophy (but with much more recent builds) that there would not be much difference to anything that ran in Android. Maybe someone has already tested for the differences.. and can let us know the results!

Hi, 15Ma1l,
I tried four different of HTC Official ROMs for my htc mini, and I can say: There isn't any Difference and all of them were same when booting android. and I knew this idea for months.
but I didn't tried nsourm ROM, because of arabic persian unicode support?

thank you for answers !
iPlasm could you please write a list with these ROMs you already tried?

If there is better than these ROM images, I will Thank you for you... but IT Must support Unicode arabic and persian

[Q] Android or WM 6.5 for HTC Touch HD

Which android or WM 6.5 rom for HTC Touch HD is the best for me to use? I mean, that it has everything working(Im thinking of using WM 6.5 for everyday use, and Android purely for apps and wifi (browsing, facebook, YT(optional), and maybe some music). I'm thinking of putting custom 6.5 rom in my HD. So, can some1 provide me with the best ROM out there and a tutorial to flashing it? I already know how to put Android on phone, just need a nice ROM.It would be great if you could only copy/paste ROM threads. Thanks. And sorry if i violated something on website, but im fairly new, and cant really understand all those tutorials.
P.S. Is HD running WM 6.5 rom better than it running WM 6.1?
Thanks again guys, im really gratefull ^^

WM for battery life
Android is only running properly on SD card builds - so you can have both easily enough.
I like WM6.5 but some say that WM6.1 is faster overall.
Depends what you want.
My blackstone is my work mobile and I have WM6.5 EDGE SWIFT rom on it at the moment, works well - I just need basic functionality out of it really, but battery life is very useful!
I'd love an Android NAND rom on it sometime though
the EDGE rom thread has a tutorial link in it - but the general gist is probably for WM roms:
1) update with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex (may be slightly different - check the tutorials first!)
2) download BlackstoneAdvancedRUU
3) find and download the rom you want, extract the .nbh and put it with the BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe
4) run BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe, task 29, run BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe again, task 28 and select your nbh file from the list
follow on screen instructions at all times.
you might want to flash the RADIO: HD_1.17.25.09.nbh too if you havent already got the latest radio...

Ok, i managed to somehow install WM 6.5 and its working well , got iGo on it, and some other apps. Now, which Android is the best for things i posted in my previous post?
(web browsing, music, apps) It doesn't need to have working camera, because i dont really use it, and if i needed it, i'd use it via WM 6.5.
P.S. is it possible to watch movies (.avi; .mkv; etc.) on WM 6.5 and Android?
P.P.S How to connect my phone to PC via WM and via Android?
P.P.P.S What's the status of Android Market's games and apps on Blackstone? Are they all working?
Thank you very much

:laugh:

which installationmethod do you prefer? nand, nativeSD or the SD method?
if you want the SD method read the installation instruction of the rom cause you are not installing all the same way. extract the rom to the root of your sd card, tap clrcad and than haret.

please do more search you will get it.

You need a few tools, I recommend using the tutorial on youtube from Juicy Boose

What exactly is your question though? If you want to know how to flash a ROM, see the guide in my sig. If you want to know which ROM to flash, then nobody can help you because there's no best ROM as such.

REQUEST: 6.5.5 rom links for HD2 + kitchen

To anyone who sees this,
I realize the hd2 forum is all but dead, but if someone is still around, I would extremely appreciate if someone could share some working links / upload somewhere some 6.5.5 roms to download and flash. I've just recently got a new hd2 and want to set it up as I had it back in the day with the latest fw to relive some pocket pc games. If someone could share docs and links for setting up a kitchen that would be super useful too.
I'd be uploading it all to various mirrors for preservation.

gimme a day, and i'll get you the best WM6.5 ROM made by @CRACING
