Is it possible to get Windows Mobile 6.5 + Sense UI (HTC HD2) on out phone. With the upcoming release on T-Mobile, I'm kinda jealous. I can't upgrade until March/June next year and it sucks. I need help. it might be a stupid question but how come WinMo can boot Android and it can't be vice versa? Help? Thanks =]

I'm guessing since Android is Linux they can port it to many devices (like computers and other phones that was NEVER meant to run android) while WinBlows is closed source and probably needs specific hardware requirements to run.
I don't think I'm right but that is just my 2 cents (or 4 cents. I'm not sure)

they aren't even close to being the same as the win-mo sense experience. the only thing they have in common is that they both have flip clocks and are shiny

odex the build, only drawback is that you cant theme it after that.
that and a light overclock are both pretty good
Thanks for the reply! I am really new here. Can you point me towards an odexing guide??

newer google apps is the biggest thing added since, they have been decently stable as of late too. TBH i havent even really been doing much on my vogue lately either.
i do have a theme for hero you and myn would be proud of though
Speeding up Android
If you free up some memory your vogue will be faster. I suggest uninstalling all the apps you don't use / can do without. You can also try the Fat Free build of android. I hear that it is faster.

it is mostly since it uses all the principles covered here its odex'd it has the fat cleaved from it, and via rogue tools you can overclock it
Yeah, I tried the Fat-Free build and its super fast..! DZO Fresh Froyo is already amazing, and Fat-Free froyo makes it even faster. The life that is put into this phone is unbelievable, and the support too! I remember when I used to use my vogue with wm-6.1 !

ummm if you want a snappy android phone get rid of the vogue. not trolling here but your dealing with a 4 year old outdated phone. buy a real up to date android device. props to the devs here but im shocked people still own this device. even xda put it in legacy mode.

some people cant upgrade from it or they will lose their plan, or they are people like me who's plans dont have upgrade eligiblity luckily i was able to track down a hero for cheap. tbh it could handle donut awesomely froyo def has some stability issues maybe gingerbread will be better

im not dissing the vogue as i owned a few of them but yeah if you get the hero you will notice a huge speed increase. even more so with a evo or epic. i know people want to keep their cheap legacy plans but sooner or later you will have no choice but to upgrade and pay more. 4g will be standard someday.

i wish i could go to the evo but sadly i havent found an evo cheap enough yet
My phone is pretty snappy and stable considering it's a bit long in the tooth. I recommend the latest .32 kernel, Scooter's CM rls4c, and a mild overclock to 490 mhz. I don't keep a bunch of crapware apps and widgets on my phone and I recently trimmed down to three desktop screens.
It is my sincere hope that my carrier offers me a decent plan when I do bite the bullet and upgrade to a new android device. It's going to cost me an additional $20-30/mo to get a plan comparable to what I currently have and I really wanted a decent device with a hardware keyboard. Either the Epic or the EVO Shift will be in my pocket next...

yea keyboards are nice but htc phones with keyboards always suffer from poor design flaws, like the touch pro and the high failure rate of that (i even had problems with mine before i sold it), the G2 and it basicly falling open when turned upside down, i love htc to death but i dont trust anything they have with a keyboard at all

WOW! What if this was possible on our milestones. Sorry to be hasty, but is this possible on our stones?
Would be great, but ...
Though I really like my Milestone but now I'm feeded with Motrola and all the things it represent knowing that this particular device brought them back a live.
Keep updating roms for Milestone is a good news for Moto and I hate that.

Personally, I think all the roms are good only for making motorola look bad. We have gingerbreag before they've even managed to bring out froyo. It's a joke, and personally, my respect for motorola is gone. I will continue happily installing custom roms onto my milestone, and motorola can go stall for another year.

Motorola is very slow on updates. I disappoint...
that's so true moto is very slow on update
looks great but i think the missing kernel (which we cant update that easily due to locked bootloader on milestone) would prevent us from using honeycomb.
we COULD use something with a froyo-kernel that LOOKS(!) like honeycomb and has most of its features, maybe.
but -just like "Gingerbread"/2.3- we will probably NEVER get the REAL thing... only something that looks and behaves almost the same as the original (like Gingerbread).
yeah, just in case some people didn´t know that - what we have is NOT real Gingerbread.
That would be sick!!

Exactly.
I don't even understand why they would do this...do they not realize that there is a pretty decent amount of customers who buy their phones based on the fact they're completely open to customization?
I feel like this would hurt them more than it could ever help them.
It's coming home, it's coming, my Blackberry's coming home, it's coming home.
Sorry Android, sorry Google, but for me, RIM is better.

I've been thinking the same thing.
There goes the only developer-friendly phone maker..
I guess that means we want see any root access/development/custom roms for the Incredible S.
Not neccessarily, as I've already posted in the rooting thread, this was already known about and hasn't stopped us yet. Please be patient and stop spreading FUD
Does this mean we will never see csutom roms, or does this mean we'll have to wait until it's cracked?

I Fully agree. It's a pitty HTC wants in on the control over my device game...
I also hate that they want to control our devices. My next device probably wont be an HTC anymore also, however i do like the fooling arround with my phone. id rather would have it rooted quite easily, but i dont hate it they require some manual actions, since it saves a lot of people from having malware on there phones, but hell.... this one is over the top.
Probably have the IS for the next 2 years, so got enough time to play with it haha.
@DaanJordaan
having a motorola milestone with a signature-locked bootloader i can say, that custom roms ARE available... the key-difference is, that the signature-checking bootloader only boots signed kernels. everything else can be replaced with custom-made files. as an exaple: CyanogenMod ist available for the milestone, but without the enhanced kernel.
which in essence means:
custom roms: yes
custom kernels: no
i don't know how big the difference betweet the moto-bootloader and the htc-bootloader is. but if it's somehow similar, custom roms without custom-kernels will work. which indeed sucks... but that's still better than no custom roms at all... let's just hope htc produces very well coded kernels...
I dont think its "HTC" who wants to control rhe device, i've heard its the carriers that are asking for the bootloader to be singed, so they dont have to replace a brick device someone tried ro hack,
Just be thankfull they only signed it and not encrypted it like motorola.

No it doesn't. Maybe in the US it does. I can buy a OEM Incredible S with no association with any carrier by paying full price, but seems like even these factory HTC devices are bootloader signed.

Its probably easier for HTC to just push all the incredible s's through the same production line.

Don't stress on this. ~1hour after it was identified on the thunderbolt, it was bypassed.
Don't go returning phones or quitting android over this.
I hope it will get rooted, I have just sold my HTC Desire, and am looking either to get the Nexus S or this. I have every confidence in the Dev guys to crack it.
HTC really have done something silly, the only reason the Desire sold so well was because it could get rooted so easily and allowed people to do anything they liked to it!
If this info is confirmed then the LG Optimus 2X is the best new phone!
I like HTC but I am not a fanboy fanatic to limit Android to HTC devices
I was wondering if there is a way to determine what kernel is on the phone? Like a way to check it...? I know I can check the kernel version...would that be how to determine? I must sound dumb...wow...lol.
Your phone info screen should show it.
I thought so. I had an HTC 8925 before this, so the Android world is all new to me. I know basic things and have already successfully flashed two phones with custom ROMs as well as flashed my own captivate back to stock. My brother also gave me his old Motorola Droid and I use it as a way of learning as well. I know the hardware on both is different but it's still a good way of learning I feel. I even helped a friend root and flash Cyanogen onto his HTC Inspire. He recently went back to stock without the bloatware...which reminds me. Does a ROM of the stock without bloatware exist for the Captivate? I've searched but haven't had much luck...
Also, forgot to mention I had Myn's warm donut on that HTC. It ran well enough but the battery issues were never worked out for me.

Pinnacle is a great ROM. Its pretty close to stock, really smooth, really good battery life, and not a lot of flashy stuff, just really reliable. No bloatware at all... except it isn't being developed on anymore. There's one called Illumination (not the exact name but its close enough you'll find it) and it looks good and is being developed still. Its actually based off of Pinnacle too. I don't have any personal experience with it though.
