Hi Guys!
Personally I'm not interrested in the Diamond2, as I'm aiming for the Pro2 Anyway, since those two babies are so much alike, I guess I can ask this question already: will they still require the SD TuneUP drivers for fast data reading from memory cards, for example for fluid video playback?
BTW, I sooo hope that HTC will fix all those tons of bugs everyone finds in TD2 before TP2 released
Thx in advance for the answer!
Can anyone truthfully answer as I thought that whether playing videos from an SD card or the phones memory should be exactly the same?

For the Diamond2 too, HTC should also release all the fixes.

the majority of the roms so far are only the os and some additional dll's ported. There still, as far as my knowledge, hasn't been a successful port of the entire rom (including video drivers) to another device. I have a kaiser and using leo's diamond v3 which has alot of things imported from the diamond rom.
It probably could be ported on the hima just need someone to do it
who cares about the rom as long as some1 can get that manila interface to other devices... btw is it out? is it runnable on other devices?

It is out but it doesn't run very well on other devices than Diamond.

Ok, I have been searching the forums and reading a ton of posts. What I am looking for is a striped down version of the diamond rom for kaiser. One without any extra applications would be great. I just want the bare bones minimum. Does anyone know if they have such a rom?
lol i think ud have a much better chance of getting an answer to that if you ask in the kaiser forums... :|
Perhaps but I just thought I would ask on a pre-existing thread. Thanks for the info though,,,

Interesting, but I'm positive instead of upgrading the diamond, most people will just buy the new HTC (Probably a Touch) with WM7.
WM7 will be released at the beginning of 2009. Porbably announced earlier.
It is very likely that the Touch Diamond can run wm7 without problems. But nobody can tell you now...
Since HTC is planning for a WM7 device, they will not offer WM7 as a free upgrade for the TouchDiamond. If enough people buy the touch diamond they might offer this update for some money. Else we have to hope for some good "cooking" from the developers here in the forum...
very likely based on what?
If it's as much of an overhaul as Microsoft are saying it will be, then I'd say not supported. Will probably need a better touch screen.

withouth support for hardware features like
accelorometer and multitouch it would prob
be a kinda poor experience if it does

Good question
That's why I said: Very likely...
You might as well ask: What might WM7 change that makes it very unlikely that the Touch Diamond will not be albe to run it...
I asked HTC about the Diamond2 WM7 upgrade and they answered this:
"At the moment windows mobile 7 is unknown at this time. I can not give you the exact date when it will release. But I know that there will be a new upgrade will be available soon."
So is this good or bad?
Windows Mobile 7 has high requirements... check out http://www.intomobile.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-pink-specs-windows-mobile-7-requirements-leak.html. The Diamond's 192MB ROM isn't even close to the 512MB required. Although, when it comes out, I have a feeling that our hackers will debloat it and make it run.
But it won't be official, that's for sure.

i have see on youtube many videos with diamond and Winmo7 but its very slow at this time but its work!
You will have winmo7 on your Diamond than wait its nut funny at this time
Here are 2 Videos. The first Video i think thats real its slow but the last Video is so fast i think thats a fake :S
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cv85Z2O5jk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm7UZ71uQHs&feature=related
the second video is an APP runs on WM6.5 it's name is THE HOST and it is in 1.5 version now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685928
As mentioned earlier the requirements are not close enough to W7p, and if you have run xdandroid, the performance is okay but not there yet.
I have seen W7p theme for android, I have tried it and it seems pretty cool
Examples:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8119626#post8119626
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864034
That first video looks amazing. Although I didn't expect WP7 to run sooo slowly.

I think we might be able to install a windows 7 rom on Diamond altough it might not function properly because WM7 needs a lot more RAM and processing speed compared to WM6.1 and 6.5.
BIG BRAINS Reply
The real question is, why would you want to run such crippled software on such nice hardware? Windows Mobile 7 is five huge steps back from real Windows Mobile.

I will work like crap.
A HTC Diamond barely manages to run a W6.5...It does run , but very slow and annoying.
Would`nt recommend going W7 on a Diamond , unless you have nerves of steel ^^

I might also add that it has not been done. Probably won't either, because nobody wants to downgrade their handheld.

Nope. Nobody bothered to port it over because it would be completely pointless. Whats in it for you to downgrade anyway?

Is there work in progress for the X1 panels to be ported to the kaiser?
I have searched and it seems there is a early stage beta of the panels for the HD.
Just wanted to know if anyone had this in development or if its not really worth it?
Thanks Djp76
I sincerely hope so but the Kaiser seems to be lacking in peoples interest in here as the HD is out and most people seem to be concentrating on this device now.

Boo! no fair we cant all afford to get the latest upto date phones
Hope someone who owns a kaiser will recognise what a good phone it has been to them and continue porting stuff to it.
I was considering selling my kaiser whaen i upgraded...but it seems like such a ghood phone i think i shall keep it as a back up phone just in case.
I know at MoDaCo, they have the panels running on a touch HD, but I think us Kaiser owners have been cursed with a QVGA screen instead of a nice WVGA like the HD and X1. Would be nice to port the panels though.

Alright people, after some litle research, i have found out that Android currently boots on HTC Touch Cruise ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64LYnTxhj44 ). HTC Touch Cruise is using the same processor as the HTC Touch 3G, Qualcomm MSM7225. So is there a way we can port the version from Polaris to Jade ?
C'mon people, lets start a project, as i see many PDAs out there can now successfully boot Android, lets not leave out our wonderful Jade...
WE WANT ANDROID !
Unfortunately htc touch cruise (polaris) has the msm7200 processor like the kaiser. The newer one (iolite) has the msm7225.

hhmmmm...i see, didnt realise that there was a previous version. But c'mon, no one knows how to port android to MSM7225 ?
HTC tattoo
I am also looking for ages for some android port to the MSM 7225. Now, finally, an android device similar to the Jade is coming out before october!!
And for all the people saying 320x240 is too small for android, well, the Tattoo seems to do fine with that..
http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/
Now we just have to wait for someone porting that android ROM to Jade..
help?
EDIT
oh and here's already the HTC official site! http://www.htc.com/www/product/tattoo/specification.html
At least android for msm7225
now it seems almost sure that at some time we will have the opportunity to run android in our phones.
oooh I CANT WAIT !
Definitely count me in as a tester !
Yeah, it will run on 320x240. But as far as I know most apps are designed for higher resolutions. So it won't be really useful.
It seems that HTC is releasing a new device based on the same processor as our jade, with Android and 2.8 screen, HTC Tattoo. Maybe there is still a hope on seeing a port to Jade
Hello ,
Have You news of this possibility "Android for HTC Jade"?
I think our phone isn't popular enough for developers to work on a port for our phone, I can't find any signs that someone is working on a port. Let's hope this changes fast!
i really hope so too, cant wait to play around with android on it !
@StewieTux
hi
u really have a point here yes our phone isnt popular and for ur info
ppc geek does not have a forum for us and it has every other HTC phone old and new but not ours even after me asking so many time now i days i don't visit the site
so i really dought if well get android unless one of our great cooks decides to do some thing regarding the same
but count me in to test any ROM for our great jade i love this phone man

The problem isn't the power of the phone, it's the type of the processor and the screen resolution. However there is still hope, Android 1.6 SDK is released and supports different screen resolutions! =>> http://developer.android.com/index.html
Hi,
I was browsing around and found a new HTC phone with Andriod 1.5 (yet to be launched). The phone is called HTC Tattoo. Refer to the following link:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_tattoo-2932.php
The hardware of this phone is almost similar to Jade ..... Same processor and screen resolution.
Look at the comparison below:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone2=2526&idPhone1=2932
If Andriod 1.5 is possible in that phone, I am sure it can be ported to Jade. I am just wondering about the few more hardware buttons and higher ROM.

We have an unsupported processor, msm7275 (or something like that) and that's different from the gene with has an already supported model.
