Older builds did, but very unusable as the interface did not work at all with the 240x320 resolution (by old I mean even before nightlies were being built). When I last tried nightlies, they do not, it loads to a black screen and closes no error pop up or anything. Though I have not tried again in the past couple of weeks, but I doubt they are gonna change much in regards to working with our devices, as tehy are targetting at least right now for the droid and n1 (dont know if they added more to the list).

try it with warm eclair 320x480 then
I have an HTC Magic with CyanogenMod (android 2.1) - the nightly builds still doesn't run. It seems to be related to the fact that HTC Magic uses a processor with ARMv6 instruction set, and Fennec requires ARMv7. Basically, I think a simple rebuild will help...
downloading now. gonna try it on my hero. thanks bro!
naaah
doesnt work on my legend :/
any ideas?

Hello to everyone you know if HTC roadmap has a new version of ROM for the Touch HD. I have installed the latest available, but I saw that for the new PDA HTC has released new features. You believe that will be available in a new official ROM? Thanks Tony
No new features! There will only be some bug fixes and even this is not certain!

Apple is the only company which provides new features to you devices after they sold there devices. No other vendor provide even a bug fixed release correctly. It's not hardware that making apple win the market it's there Operating System, Regular Bug Fix Release, Regular new Features release, Standard way of using devices (iTunes), Standard way of hacking apple devices (Jailbreak).
By seeing HTC Touch HD most of them thought this phone has high specs than iphone and high price than iphone so it surely be more advance device than iphone. But those who brought iphone are happly enjoying new games every day new application every hour and those who brought Touch HD (even after 1 year) still trying to make this device better with new application ones in a month or two and new games ones in 6 months or more.

What are you taking victoradjei. HTC might release 2 or 4 more devices with same specs as HTC Touch HD with new manila and make money. Why it will care about a device which is already sold?
it's pretty obvious...if HTC were to release new updates / features for Touch HD you would see them by now...I was disappointed by the lack of updates by HTC for a high-end device, honestly i was expecting more from HTC and if isn't for the wonderful support / ROM / apps from XDA, i wouldnt have chosen HD over iphone...
Query answered, thread closed.
I don't want this to turn into another.....why don't HTC allow free updates/upgrades etc like Apple??

It routes everything through the Ucweb servers and renders it there similar to Opera Mini. I don't know what their security policies are or whether you can trust them.
If you don't care about what you send through their servers then by all means use it.

Hi guys, I'm gonna get a Motorola Milestone soon.And the main reason is because of the physical keyboard.However I'm still confused about whether to get this or the Nexus one.I know that the Milestone can be overclocked and the speed likewise,I'm not too worried about it.But,can I run things like Cyanogenmod 6.1 on it maybe,cos I would rather use a custom rom than wait for updates.Please answer me.Lastly,is the screen smooth like the amoled display on the Nexus One?Please help! Thanks!
Yes when overclocked to to 1GHz the Milestone is equal in CPU power to the Nexus One, and the GPU in the Milestone is faster then the Andreno 205 in the Nexus One, regarding the screen yes the Milestone has a much better screen than the Nexus One , regarding color acuracy and things like that, the Milestone uses a IPS panel that is regarded as one if the best screens in mobile industry, the only thing that the AMOLED in the N1 is better at is power consumption and even that not that big difference, so the Milestone wins, but the downside is the locked bootloader that really is a deal breaker, but if you can live with that the Milestone is better, and one more thing, is the oficial updates, the Nexus One is going to recive them for a couple of months or better, but the Milestone is EOL....
What?So that means I can't use custom roms on the Milestone?
It's beyond my comprehension how can anyone recommend Motorola Milestone over anything.
First we got the locked bootloader and yes, that means no custom ROMs for newer versions than Motorola provides. Because Motorola will provide only Froyo somewhere next few months, you can forget Gingerbread on Motorola Milestone.
Then there is the memory issue, Motorola Milestone has 256MB RAM compared to 512MB of Nexus One or other newer devices. This is a huge difference.
In short - if you want a good Android phone with keyboard, get HTC Desire Z. If you want a good keyboardless phone, get Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire or Nexus One (or Motorola Milestone 2). Motorola Milestone is a option only if you want to save lot of cash and you don't care for the limitations.
Yup thanks for the advice.
i am confused about custom rom?? what the roms available in the "Motorola Milestone Android Development" section of the forum? aren't they custom roms? planning to get a milestone too as it less expensive and i want a flash enabled phone..
Basically if the bootlocker is locked, you can't install a custom rom like cyanogenmod using rom manager.But must use other ways which is really difficult for me.The motorola milestone will be getting froyo aka android 2.2 so flash player will be available for download in the android market.So flash will still eventually be available for the Motorola milestone.But I doubt it will be getting android 2.3 so if you wanna get it,you may have to install a custom Tom which I say will be difficult for beginners like me but can be learnt However,the milestone is pretty old already.Why not get a milestone 2 or a Desire 2?Both have physical QWERTY keypad and android 2.2,that means flash is available.
way too expensive... i am going to buy an unlocked phone to use in my country.
Well, if you don care about custom roms, why not just get the motorola milestone and wait for froyo or maybe froyo is already available in your country It will be a pretty good buy! Root the motorola milestone and overclock it and you will feel your phone is really new!
Get a milestone if you want. Desire z has Sense ui and Europe has a bad rep on updating Sense Ui phone, take a while to update, even longer then Moto at times. Motorola is already thinking of support the original Droid with 2.3 os in Late Q1 2011. Maybe, that should give you milestone users; some hope on getting Gingerbread official or Rooted roms. If storage is the problem Do Sd partitioning to swap the apps on your sd..
Only if you were in america my droid has flash player, trust me is good but not great. Same goes with g2 aka htc desire Z have flash doesnt run excellent either. Droid/milestone is better then Desire Z. If you buy Desire Z u going to be spending more money on device; that has similar if not less feature then droid/milestone rooted.
Single LED FLASH= For picture in dark
Dual= 2 LED FLASH= On Milestone
Milestone has less ram with 256 ram, but with sd partioning that can be solved.
Desire Z have an 512 ram.
Milestone has D pad for gaming and better navigation without the touching the screen.
Desire Z has those loose hinges that can be a problem to several users.
Milestone has better GPU= graphic processor with Power vr CHip SHG 530 so does the Galaxy phones and iphones has them 540 and 535.
Desire z has adreno 205 which is limited.
Milestone have better resolution with 854x480 over
Desire Z that have 800x480 .
Milestone might not have the ram, but in everything else it beats Desire Z.
Milestone 512 rom internal memory, but allow user to use 256 Mb
Desire Z has 1.2 gb internal memory.
Overall I say go with Milestone if you are hacker.
Off topic info-In my opinion since the droid 1/Milestone came out a lot of phone are copying the layout of this phone . Look droid incredible,iphone4 and G2/Desire Z. They look like the original Droid.

The Milestone uses a 100MHz SG530.
The Adreno 205 in Desire Z is a lot faster than the Adreno 200 in the previous Snapdragons. Its performance is on par with the 200MHz SGX530 from Droid 2 or Droid X.
The Hummingbird in Galaxy S uses a SGX540 (blows everything away and sides with Tegra2), and both the 3GS and iPhone 4 use a SGX535 @ 150MHz (better performance/clock than SGX530, equivalent to SGX530 @ 200MHz in most cases).
The Desire Z is a better device all-round, no doubt about that. But it's also a lot more expensive.
And with all the dual-core high-end phones coming out in a couple of months, right now it's a really bad time to be spending a lot of money in high-end phones like the Desire Z.
If you're going to throw the Desire Z around, I would much rather have the Droid 2 Global. Its superiority over all phones makes up for the locked bootloader (IMO). It depends on your needs and standards. I place the touchscreen, overall display quality, and build quality above all else. In these departments, neither Nexus S (definitely not the N1) nor the Desire Z is in the same league as the Droid 2 Global.
milestone help...
Currently I'm not under contract with any carriers, was using my nexus one on local carrier and traded that for an iphone 4. Sold that and currently using a samsung vibrant which only cost $160. I can get a milestone for free with a 2 year contract, but I ll probably just the vibrant mainly. Would the milestone be a good backup android device? It seems out dated to me already, should I just stick with a blackberry bold (even more outdated)????
You should just keep your Vibrant, IMO.
I wouldn't sign a 2-year term just for the Milestone.
All I can say dump vibrant. Samsung take to long updating. It took them 9 month to update to android 2.2 os on vibrant from july 15 release until january 14th 2011 in tmobile usa. Sprint release their samsung galaxy(epic) came out in early august still stuck 2.1 os.
Samsung galaxy(captivate) 2.1 os came out late august no update yet.
Samsung galaxy(fascinate) 2.1 os in late september...
List go on
Droid 1 is getting 2.3 os in march . Giving chance to milestone user in getting gingerbread.

Umm...
Updates to the Droid are not useful in giving hope to Milestone users. We did not get stable 2.2 ROMs until Motorola leaked a 2.2 firmware. Locked bootloader means we can never replace the kernel until Moto releases a signed version.
HTC Sense UI has been *the most* up-to-date custom UI overlay out of all the manufacturers. Once an official Froyo ROM was released for the HTC Desire anywhere in the world (June/July 2010), the RUU was compatible with all GSM/HSPA Desire phones worldwide. The Droid 1 OTA did not arrive till August and it was a USA-CDMA exclusive that was relatively useless in providing options to non-US Moto users.
"Even longer than Moto at times"... can you provide me an example where HTC users had to wait longer in Europe for a working official-sourced Android update compared to a similar-generation Moto phone?
In Europe, as far as I can tell, every HTC phone that was about to get an update, got it long before the European Moto phones got theirs.
For example: HTC Desire got FroYo late summer/early autumn 2010 (forgot exact date).
Moto Milestone -> will get official FroYo sometime the next two-four weeks (Q1 2011!!). Inofficial "leaked" FroYo only appeared like a week ago (Asia-Pacific version, not even the one for Europe, but works just fine).
Do NOT(!) pick Milestone if you want to be able to do anything you want with your phone.
Get it if you can wait 2-3 more weeks for FroYo, and if you are willing to more or less use it "out-of-the-box". (maybe rooting and a bit of tweaking/overclocking/themes, but no REAL "Roms" possible).
get that droid x ME181 china-only market
or wait for dual core phone
That not true only a few location hasnt update their phones... A few european country already has updated the milestone 2.2 os since late december. Example Spain has 2.2 os already on their phone.
Htc desire got it update in July 31 the first full month of summer.
Motorola milestone aka Droid in usa got 2.2 os since August 3rd. If you hacker u can update milestone 2.2 os because droid users coded the update to milestone users already. Search up Droidforum.net That mean if droid get 2.3 os officially u milestone users can get it by us coding it for ya.
Not wait for htc to update the device.

HTC announced this in Chinese language. I guess a English source will be found in next couple of days.
few extra:
HTC also said the most of the developing time will be spent on building the sense UI into new system. The newer devices retail later than 2011 MAY will get the update sooner than the older device like DHD. And some devices like HTC Amaze 4G,Thunderbolt, will get the update in much later time. (i think they mean more than 4 months)
This is a direct translation, sry for my baaaad english. i dont remember IS came out before or after MAY 2011?

Dude, ICS is optimized for multi-core phones because Gingerbread or Froyo do not use more than one core. There are certain apps and games out there that use all cores but that's another story.

There is no question that ICS will be on the Incredible S in one form or another (CM9 or AOSP) soon after the AOSP source is made available. The topic of this post is whether we will see an 'official' ICS version with Sense from HTC.

CyanogenMod 9 RC1 for 37 Devices
In what can be considered a quantum leap in Android development, CyanogenMod 9.0 RC1 is now available for 37 different devices. This massive release comes 225 days after Ice Cream Sandwich hit the AOSP repos. The team is quoted as saying;
“It wasn’t quick or easy, but we are extremely proud of this release and what it represents for us as a group.”
This release serves as the first wave of RC1s. CyanogenMod now has the core OS stabilized, and promises device maintainers will continue work on their device trees to bring more devices online. This will include some of the newer releases as well as some older generations. The currently supported list includes:
Advent Vega

Their issue tracker is now open for CM9 RC1, and they ask everyone reporting bugs to be sure to follow the instructions as to ensure your report is not marked invalid. Install instructions for CM9 remain the same as CM7, with more detailed instruction available on their wiki.
All device downloads can be found on their mirror manager, as they always have. To download the release candidate for your device, visit their Release Candidate page. Also, an RSS list is available at get.cm/rss.
I keep seeing this question around, when IncS will get CM9, etc etc.
Our official device maintainer for the CM9 team is Kali-
You can see his updates here:
https://github.com/Kali-
As far as I know, he works with Desire HD, Incredible S, and Incredible 2. He doesn't seem to be doing much related to CM9 right now other than adding a thing or two every other few months.
I suspect Kali-'s not doing any updates due to a few reasons:
- We don't have a 3.0 kernel
- We don't have camera working properly unless the team decides to use Twisted's code.
Both of the above will probably started once official ICS sense 3.6 WWE is released - the proprietary camera files will be updated, the camera source will be reworked to make working with the files from the sense update, and finally for 3.0 kernel HTC has 90 days to release it once sense 3.6 WWE is official.
I can build a CM9 kang right now but it's pointless because none of the camera works and there will be similar bugs as the current AOSP roms we have.

I was really just wondering if there was a new development as it was posted as something new .Please dont take this as another when will it be released question, but as an inquiry as to what the post meant..and Thanks for the explanation.
I misunderstood the post, my apology.
Don't worry about it, we are officially supported for CM9, definitely for sure.
Even if Kali- slacks off and doesn't maintain the vivo, someone else will pick up and the msm7x30-common branch will get updated.
This is the only tree to keep an eye out on for updates when they start adding fixes for camera (probably won't happen until 3.6 WWE is released)
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm7x30-common/tree/ics
When this tree is updated, the Desire S, Desire HD, IncS/Inc2, Desire Z, MyTouch 4g will be good to go.
aside from that, the IncS tree itself is fairly easy, it's the kernel and camera/media related code we're missing.
