THIS WAS FAKE.
Google more next time :$

reminds me of the good old times when linux was announced to run on the P3300 / artemis - at first everybogy dumped it for a hoax, a couple of weeks later a bootable and usable version was on my machine - mind you, telephone not working...

Iphone OS is possible on Touch HD i think
hi Guys
i think this is a great idea and i dont think it is impossible..might just be a lot of work though.. wish i could help do it.. have friends with iphone and would luv to port it to my touch HD.
heres my ideas.
in essence Iphone OS is linux .. correct? unless immistaken it has its roots in Linux and we already have Android running on a touch HD what would be the difference in the code between Android and iphone OS.. can someone perhaps look into this
i would luv to get some feedback from other users see if it is possible..
thank you

why would you want to dumb down winMo is the question. The iphone hardware is so bad that if you're going windows mobile you should buy an HD or something with decent hardware.

When God was handing out brains you must have thought it was chocolate milk shake and asked for an extra thick one

This would be just as useful as ice in the Antarctic. Just buy an Iphone, if you want to have its os, as the devices are quite similiar (at least the dimensions).

HTC TRouch HD vs iPhone
I think it would be a good idea. Imagine ending the eternal "my phone is best" -battle showing the capabilities of the touch hd!
Come on guys!

Apple base OSX on FreeBSD so I'm guessing the Iphone os is too

if you want IPHONE look/OS please buy that cheap phone! the only good think in iphone is the interface and the music player

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha !!!!!!!!!!!
his is the biggest bull**** I have heard what
why buy HD if you like the iPhone?
otherwise buys iPhone and keeps the HD, as you can make its
a switch between the two ....

Best allround solution I think:
Don't 'copy', 'clone' or 'port' the OS X as a whole. Instead, take aspects of it say ... I dunno ... user-friendliness and adapt it into what Windows Mobile does best. So instead of using a dead ugly IE 6 checkbox on your application (it's depressing to see when I'm using manilla or 6.5 today) use a nice image or bloody skin the thing.
Apple has always had it's sex-appeal over Windows (objectively speaking) BUT Windows has always found a way to kick it were it hurts and still impress. Sadly I don't think the mobile war is moving quick enough on out end so lets give them a helping hand rather than jump ship!

you certain bout that? actually, osx is the os from the flopped NEXT system that steve jobs came up with more than a decade ago, and osx, even though its had some face lifts, and iphone os and apps are still coded in Objective-C, a long dead language that predates C++. it isnt even really object oriented. not deep down at the core anyway. its regular C wrapped in some pityfull object oriention extention. anyway, freebsd wasnt around when the next system or objective-c were developed, so that theory is a no-go.. sorry...
i for one would like to see winmo ported to the iphone hardware, but who would write the drivers? not apple, i assure you, but it would be fun!
on another note, from time to time, i pass off my hd as a new prototype iphone black, or the iBlack. put an apple icon as your start icon, go with a black theme, and watch those media-head teenagers drool... its worth every penny hahahaha....

As far as I know, OSX (and iPhone OS) is based on Darwin, a full open-source FreeBSD derivative developed by Apple... And I guess that Objective-C was chosed for "application developers" to ease the porting of pre-OSX apps to the new OS. And of course, because it seems that using a language no other one uses must be "iCool"

+1 why one earth would someone want to poison HD with such bad OS?
Yes it has fluid graphics and chicks like it, but it sucks at everything else!
Buy SPB mobile shell and make it look like iphone if you so much want it + it is 100x better.
New version 3 is nice competition for even touchflo 3 and x1 panels!

im all for the Touch HD that is why i got myself it and not the iphone... looks much nicer in terms of screen and feel.. much better.. i just want to get OSx on there to proof to someone that the WM platform is much better than apples because you can do ANY thing with it.. even port your competitions OS to it
so its more getting bragging rights than anything else.. i agree that we need to get WM to a point where it can compete with Iphone in a way.. Touch HD doesnt have any hardware keys anymore.. but the OS not completely finger friendly like Iphone.. much to learn from Apple in that regard.. WM is going to have to shape up..
one other thing.. how amazing wont the Apple OS look on the AWESOME HD screen .
other point WM lacks in a lot of software that the iphone has.. not saying i would use everything on the market.. but its kinda nice having the option.. and not seeing something cool on the iphone and then wondering.. hey where is the WM version.. so either the developers need to wakeup and develop for WM and Iphone or we need to port the OS to the HD.. or i need to get an iphone latter option not really an option .. i wont go to the darkside

To support the different hardware one need to write a HAL and so forth. Not a job feasible for individuals (Time, man power and money). Besides this IMAO why would one like to poison such a beautiful device..

The iphone OS is a severly locked down piece of [email protected] in my opinion. You can't change anything, you are in jail with it. The apps are a joke, I never saw such useless applications. The only good thing the OS has is a good on screen keyboard and good web browsing capabilities. Besides that it's garbage. There has been allot of progress with the Windows mobile OS and I think we are getting close to having everything we need/want (allot of good apps, good web browsing and good on screen keyboard). Just my opinion. I used the Iphone 3g for several months. I have a brand new one sitting inside the box sealed that apple replaced for me. BTW, if anybody wants it it's for sale (Black Iphone3G 16GB). Just my opinion.

To all X1 users... will you buy the X2

Quick question, just out of curiosity
I think I will, but I will still keep my faithful X1

paint issues and cracks on version 1, then to bring version 2 with nothing new except for 8.1 mp cam and autorotate why should I? I love my x1 but that does not mean i am totally satisfied with it, if I get one for free to blog about or advertise yea i will get one, but i am not paying that kinda cash for the x2...the keyboard looks usable, but its ugly as sin, the only sexiness on it is the screen and the back of the device...i will switch to htc, then maybe wait later for the x5 or the next version with winmo 7

If its going to be laggy and slow then its a no.
But i will wait until i read some reviews and see it when its been released to see if it is good enough

A waste of money.. better wait 1 or 2 years for windows 7+ phones those will be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more powerfull.

HTC made the X1 so theres no way im going to move across and buy any of their junk after the mess they made of the x1. (my bro had an HTC phone a while back and that was terrible too so i shoulda known better!) The X2 is made by sony so ill give it a lot of consideration. so far its looking promising.
sony always do a few updates to a series of phones p800-p900 > p910-990 > p1i so anyone expecting a completely different phone is going to be sorely dissapointed and obviously doesnt know how sony operate. maybe they should of named the X2 the X1.5? lol

okay, you wait two years without getting a new phone

hell NO! NO WAY!!

Yes.
X2 has a lot of upgrades and improvements over X1.
Plus for me a much better design.
Addictionally it will be on WM 6.5.
As X1 looks great, on photos X2 looks 2 times better.
IMO of course.

For sure I'll take the X2 !
Many users complain about the X1. Ok it's not perfect.
If I take an example with other SE phones, the K750i (first SE photophone with autofocus) was also very buggy and it's hardware was not ok either (joystick and camera lens problems). But the next K series were just fine.
So I hope thy will also drastically improve the quality of the X series. I am happy with my X1, but it's very perfectible. The X2 seems to have all the features missing to the X1, so I'll get it for sure.

Nope, I don't buy ****ty devices.

Blah blah blah.

Not with the same slow ass processor and weak unsupported chipset. Thats the only thing I want improved from the X1.

I will probaly not go with the X2 this time around because:
1) My X1 continues to serve my needs
2) The X2, while having some very nice new features, will be too expensive for me to buy so soon
3) XDA Developer support of the X1 means we may see some X2 features on the X1
I'm really waiting for a killer Android handset. I have Windows Mobile fatigue, but I don't want an iPhone or Pre or Symbian device.

I think X2 is what X1 is supposed to be...price probably will be high...let's see first when it is release...observe for a couple of weeks or months...
X1 lack of support on SE...we'll see about X2

if i get one free as a replacement for my x1 i will happly have it as it is better than the x1 but not better enough for me to pay £500+ when i already have a x1.

Well, to me most important is whether any of the cooks will buy the X2. Cos if not, guess that's bye bye to the cooked ROMs for the X2. Unless we donate to the cooks to get them a X2 and ask them to cook for us (assuming they are willing to). Anyway, guess that's still early to be saying.

SE should drop Windows Mobile ENTIRELY - it's an architecturally crap OS, impossible to fix.
Give me an Android X2/X3 and I'll be all over it.

Hell, no way this was the last mistake I've made with SE devices, too expensive not worth it!!!!
I 'll stick back to HTC...

No, because nokia N900 come soon ^^
And I want keep X1, N900, and I'll buy the X3

I dont think so..
because WM7 comes out in March.
And xda support will there alway's be ( i hope and i think xD)

They won't kill WM, and even if they did, we would still have our forum and the freedom to probay do what MS didn't want us to mod in WM

WM 7 will be out in ...Mar....er.....May.......er.....will definitely be ready by Aug...er......1Q 2011.

To me, it is. Manufacturers are dropping it in favor of the much friendlier Android platform and the public seemingly lost interest in it. It will go like PalmOS did unless Windows Mobile 7 doesn't borrow anything from its ancestors.
It's about time HTC takes WM behind the shed and put it to rest until MS can show something worth using.

I'm tired of waiting for WM7, so I'm looking at the HTC Nexus 1 with Android 2.1 in January to be my next bad boy toy!

Well, if they keep the winmo 6.x versions for some more, itll be enough to kill it. It cant even be compared with the android. My guess is if winmo 7 does not come soon enough (now hoping that it will be on the same level as android), well this will be enough time for the other OS to take over.

@galaxys
Good luck with Android buddy!
I´m sure you´ll miss WM!!
As for buisnees envoirment (as you mentioned before) is the best OS
I´ll stay with WM!

I always thought WinMo 6.5.3 like COM 8 or COM 3 were to be WinMo 7, so that they'll join the market closer to Windows Seven. It's neither logical, nor I have no proof of that, but my intuition says...

I'm very confident this prediction won't happen in 2010.
Even other Mobile OS is getting more and more marketshare. But until now, WM is still the best. Other OS still has long way to go.

I think it's the opposite, Windows Mobile has a long way to go.
Let's see: poor online services integration, late release of a marketplace for applications, developers slowly switching to more lucrative platforms, manufacturers prefering up-to-date platforms and stylus-based navigation and I'm not done. Windows Mobile feels like Palm OS did 3 years ago.

What will be my next phone?

Hey guys,
I'm already thinking of what my next phone will be. I now have the SE Xperia X1 and it's getting boring, you know.
I have some options to choose for:
- Samsung Galaxy Apollo
- Acer BeTouch E130
- Nokia E5
Help will be appreciated

ok.. DO NOT got for a Nokia!.. had 1 for 2 years.. had to keep on flashing ROM every week to keep it fresh, thats how slow it was! The battery is bad, and you will never get any updates.. In my opinion, if the phones had a different OIperation System, then maybe the phnoes would be better..
if you need a phone that has a full QWERTY keyboard, try looking at a BlackBerry since they are the ones that have the most experiance, with their phones..

hTC

HTC sounds good!

I agree with the above posters, HTC.

Better get a Motorola Droid, I have one and it's the best phone I ever saw!

In my opinion..
have a look over here...
Go in for the hTC desire or the newer WP7 devices...Samsung is type of a retard when it comes to applications...If you do something wrong,drop it terribly,you face a heavy loss + 15-20 days of servicing...

WP7 is the great Microsoft fail since Windows Vista. Long live to Android!

Hd2 if ya kno wats good for u

Better get an Android phone. Because Android is the future

Android is the future? Lol
Better get an hTC device capable of running any OS you want: WM/Android/WP7=Leo
This is the future

I was thinking this morning about the Leo yeah, you can run Android and WinMo on it but I have a question about Android.
On my current phone when I run android the battery runs out very fast (also on Windows Mobile). My question is, is the battery life good on the Leo? (android)

I think Iphone is best .......What next after this .

will the HD2 still run WP8 or is our hardware that old? what would be the minimum phone that can run WP8? :silly:
WP7 is rally fast in the HD2 & it runs really well, i hope the same can be said for wp8.

If you currenty own a Windows phone, it can NOT run windows phone 8, thats it.
You must buy a new phone with windows phone 8 on it.

why did u say that? hd2 is a legend. born as wp6.5 device, got android port and now upto 4.0.4, lol it is one of the device that actually run 4.0.4 before any other official updates. and it have fully working wp7.5 tango running on it. and is 8779.8 version update( lol i m not sure if any official updates have gone so far). and i am not planning to mention other os's that runs on hd2.
the only thing that hd2 lacks is current dual/quad cores and gpu's. any how it have a descent cpu of 1ghz single core ( functions flawless upto 1.5 ghz oc) and enough gpu to run wp7.5 pretty fast( even hd7 wont run that much fast).
and i am dam sure hd2 will be running wp8 pretty soon.. ( may be before any official wp8 device!!!!!!!)

+1

I seriously doubt it. The devs have moved on to new devices.
Maybe they'll try to port it but it would be a ton of hard work because they switched from Windows CE to Windows 8 kernel. Also, WP7 only got ported because some drivers from Microsoft got "leaked" since Microsoft were using the HD2 to develop WP7 anyway.
But hey, never say never!

hd2 wp8
I personally think there will be Windows phone 8 interface to HD2

Thread cleaned.
Watch the attitude...

We won't see WP8 for the venerable HD2 because of the simple fact that WP8 has a new kernel. So you would have to rewrite every driver of each hardware component like CPU, Radio, GPU, Wifi, Bluetooth etc. And I really doubt someone will accomplish that.

Guys Just relax,There's DFT
I belive there will be a new MAGLDR version when wp8 is on the way of HD2.
Lets see. How it goes

Yes the HD2 has been seen running test versions of WP8.
The important question is whether it will be possible to flash it in such a way to make it run on the HD2 once WP8 is out.
MS is very keen on the secure boot feature of the new snapdragon chips which is partly why we won't see WP8 for our current devices.
I hope someone with more knowledge can elaborate on this´.
The chip is called TPM which will be responsible for the secure boot procedure.
http://wmpoweruser.com/trusted-platform-modulethe-secret-of-microsofts-attack-on-rim/

Despite all aspects, if look on new HTC devices specification, clearly HD2 if good enough to run WP8. Spec is same like low new model.
It is just up to guys from Dark Force and others.

Hey guys, as my colleague has already stated above, please watch the attitude and show each other some respsect.
Thread cleaned.

Hey guys, do you think it is worth to buy a HD2 now? I really miss the WM, but I like the WP too, mostly because I already got used with it.
Can the HD2 dual-boot WM and WP? Would not be kinda late to buy one?
Since my 200Mhz Gene is almost useless, and my Lumia won't be upgraded to WP8 anyway, I thought it is a good ideia. What you think?
Thanks.

Absolutely. It's one of the best Windows mobile 6 devices, and it also runs Android (as a joke, you can even run WM7 on it, but the worst part of censorship is *******************).

The OP asks if the HD2 can possibly run WP8. In case you weren't paying attention before launching your tirade, the HD2 is a Windows MOBILE device. As in, started life as a WM6.1 phone and is the only device that has been modified to run Android AND WP7 successfully. It is not a stretch to think that some clever devs will try to do it, purely for ****s and giggles. Forget about different kernels and any other obstacles, that is irrelevant. Being able to proclaim "I did it!" is satisfaction enough.
Good thing hackers don't all think like you, there would never have been an xda.

i remember that when WP7 launched,,some ppl said "WP7 wont work on HD2 cuz hardware stuck, new file structure bla bla bla,,, " ,, now when i see ppl talking about WP8 wont work on HD2 cuz new kernel and bla bla,, its being funny... This is XDA,, dont be precise when you talking about "hacking"... i am sure if XDA devs want to make it works on HD2 they will do it,, remember Android and WP7 on HD2 process.. yes devs move to new devices,, yes HD2 is pretty old,, but HD2 is a legend,, i can tell that some devs gonna try just because its HD2... wm6.5 wp7 and android,, why not WP8??

Because WP8 is a completely different OS, altogether.
Giving it to current devices as a scaled version as 7.8 is the most they could do.
Now, its a OS, proper modding and changes could get it to the HD2 or even the current devices, except the GPU rendering, its too much for a single core.
The most you will get is the HS and integrated stuff, you wont be able to play the games WP8 devices can play!
this is still a 50:50 thought.

Wp8 HD2
Can't wait to see new WP8 on the history making HD2! Hopefully..
