[Q] Change adroid edition to Galaxy i9000 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Currently i'm a happy HTC HD2 owner but after working a bit with Android and the galaxy i decided to buy one but before i do i have a few questions.
I installed the desire HD android Edition on my hd2 and it was wonderful. Can this android rom or something similar be installed on the galaxy?
Is it easy to root/get admin rights?
Also the galaxy android is the same compared to htc android ?
Waiting for your help and replies!
Thanks!

there's a huge thread on Android Development on porting the desire hd rom.
It will be alot of work if its possible.
Its easy to root it as tools are on the marketplace
Galaxy S runs Samsung's Touchwiz UI instead of HTC's SenseUI. This is where HTC wins, but hardware-wise Galaxy S is the best in the market right now

I just upgraded to a Lumia 810 today from a mytouch 4g and I have to say I'm liking it better than android. As for the apps they aren't as good as android but they still have alot of good apps and its suppose to start getting alot more of the top apps on android.

Hi there, If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate for a second: go for the Samsung Galaxy S4! I had a HTC Mozart and then a Windows Phone 8X, which I swapped for my old HTC One S and I couldn't be happier. I don't think I'm looking back any time soon!

Actually, I've used both Android and Windows Phone a lot, and I can tell you that Android is as smooth as WP. Obviously, if you use a crappy Android phone, it's not going to be smooth, but I guess the same applies to WP. As for the Xperia ZR, it looks like a great phone, but I've never been a fan of Sony phones; it's just a matter of personal preference. But I can assure you that either of the phones you are considering is going to be as smooth as any Lumia 925, Samsung ATIV or HTC 8X.
"The same" doesn't actually apply to WP - the minimum requirements for WP7 and WP8 devices are high enough to ensure good performance of the OS (Android has no such restrictions).
Android will get worse battery life and (especially depending on where you get your apps from, and no, XDA isn't even always safe) a higher risk of malware, but you do also get a larger number of apps and a more tweakable system. Also, the S4 has better specs than any current WP8 device (my phone, the Samsung ATIV S, has hardware equivalent to that of the S3).
My boss has the Sony phone, and has had nothing but trouble with it. The features they advertise are there, and work well, but the USB port failed quickly (makes charging and synching tricky), the external speakers (including speakerphone) are very soft, and it has had various other problems. Definitely not recommended, unless the consideration of "high-end waterproof phone" overrules everything else.

[Q] Compatibility with older HTCs?

Hello,
I wanted to ask you guys if there is a chance of making this watch work with my old HTC Desire HD (Root, S-ON, CM11 - Android 4.4.2)
I did not buy them yet but I really want to. I heard people making it work with HTC One or Nexus 5 but nothing about older phones.
Thanks,
Tom.
