Title says it all. Is it possible to do so?
??
i would say "no"
but the easiest way : Try it!
I'm guessing that the clones specs are very different so the XDAndroid build would not work.
A quick search brought this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688913
Might be of some use to you. I remember seeing many threads about running Android on clones so you might get more results by searching.

Well, the official ROM is usually somewhat slower and could have some 'problems' diamond users experience. Although sometimes an official update is available which could solve some stuff.
The main advantage of using a custom rom is that it's pre-tweaked. Has some tweaks you cannot get unless you flash a new ROM (so the tweaks are in the ROM itself). Take a different pagepool for example. Try and do a search about what that it.
Usually a new ROM also combines a set of the newest software from HTC. So the newest keyboard app from another HTC update, the new TouchFlo from somewhere else. And that combined gives you the latest software and tweaks.
Also, when you dont like touchflo 3d for example, there are custom roms that have removed that. And perhaps remove all other 'extra' software as well. Those are the so called 'light' roms. Those give you max memory and max speed (if possible) at the cost of less applications running thus removing certain functions. You can then add those functions as you please. So you don't end up with a phone that has stuff for 20 things, while you would only need 8 or something (just a random example).
In the case of the TouchFlo3D, if you dont like that and want something else as your today screen you want to get rid of it to free up some memory!
In all my experience with a lot of HTC phones, the 'best' roms were always custom ones. But it's getting harder and harder to see what's good and what's not. As you have probably seen already there are a lot of roms out there for the Diamond. I can only suggest you go and read what the differences seem to be between the roms.
Also read the comments on the roms and try to get some understanding of the changes made to the different versions.
Try to remember though (and this is always the nasty part) you can remove your warranty by flashing another ROM. Also (with the diamond in rare cases) you could 'brick' your phone. Which is no more than a failed update which makes your device unusable. I must say, with the Diamond that almost seems impossible when you just flash normal custom roms. But the 'risk' is always there in some way.
Read about the correct hard spl when you want to flash (need that one before you can flash a new rom, the hard spl unlocks your phone for custom roms). That would be the first step anyway.
And well, after all this info which isn't a lot at all (but it is!) and might or might not help you, the ROM I use is: Duttys V3.6b Final, the 12mb pagepool version.
You can find it here.
Read the howto flash part! It's in the second post all the way below the changelogs.
Obviously everyone has their favourite rom they use, and they all say theirs is the best. So you should really find that out yourself.
In every rom thread you will find things like 'I tried a lot of roms, but yours is the best!'. Try em out yourself and let you be the judge of that. Just take some time to try them out and see what you think is important in a ROM.
Thanks... answered my questions
Thanks alot for your answers it made it all clear for me now... !!
Now i only have to wait for my diamond ... and i have to say this Forum makes the Diamond even more usefull and valuable...
Thanks again...
Is there a preferred custom ROM amongst users here? BTW, which tweak program are you referring to? I've seen quite a few on here? Thanks.
i would def load the "background on all tab pages" tweak...this allows you to have your Home wallpaper on all the other tab pages.

That's what I've been doing for the past couple of hours lol. Some of these threads are HUGE. I still cannot decide which one to try. Looking at the radio bits too. Also curious about landscape keyboard. From what I understand...keyboard is only available in portrait mode but there are some fixes for that?

Is that part of that Advanced Config application?
"What Custom Rom is the best" and "What tweaks should I use" are both very subjective so we don't allow them for this reason.
Best recommendation I (or anyone) can give is to read about the things you think you want to use and ask for clarification in those threads.
First question : is there a possibility to install Touch flow 3d 2 on blackstone?
Second question is : what ROM is the best so far to use on blackstone?
Third: which opera browser is the best ?
Final: where can i find answers how to install this particular stuff /step by step/
I want to have my smartphone working fast, without freezing and with best finger friendly control.
sincerely

Did you buy your Blackstone completely empty?
I mean - without any OS installed/preinstalled? Or you just teasing others?
I think he was referring to the touchflo found in rhodium/topaz into blackstone.

1. yes, you can install it. Use one of the latest ROMs presented here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
2. there you can find the best ROM for your requirements
3. opera ist mostly integrated in these ROMs as well
4. take a look at the stickies. there you will find the answer how to flash ROMS.
5: not asked by you but answered by me: use the search function before asking here in the forum. such questions have been asked so often.
Thank You
Yes i know that there are many many many answers to my questions all around the xda forum ... but ... it is so hard to find answers to these i think the most IMPORTANT questions.
I mean up to date answers. The newest one. And the ones that works 100 percently.
I think there should be an independent section with the most important things and solutions for BLACKSTONE moderated by some senior members only and locked threads with answers ... So if someone needs the most basic and 100 percent functionable solution he or she goes there and don´t have to boather others like me with my thread ... and get the answers instantly ... something like sum up of some threads ...
to Valti: no i bought my htc touch hd fully equiped, but after i instaled newer version of opera , this super trooper browser started to freeeez ... and after a have heard that houch hd 2 has new touch flo 3d 2 .... i was thinking about geting one on my blackstone ... i hope the speed will be better , and scrolling and things ... and rom? ... i thing there is some puropse for issuing new rom ... every here and there ... and i hope it will speed up my smartphone too ... so ?
guys, last few days i'm looking for normal and clean wm6.5 with sence 2.5 . without any useless software and visual tweaks. you know that its not recommendet to flash my device almost everyday to find the rom that I'm looking for, so ... tell me please which one is the one i'm looking for ... tell me your experience with different roms so I can make my choise. Thankx in advance @

+ 1. Don`s ROMs are, in my opinion, the best for Dimond.
Mod. edit: CLOSED
This kind of question is really depending on personal preference and opinion. Ask ten other members and you are bound to get ten different opinions w/o any detailing information on usage behavior. How to compare that with yours? You won't be able to skip the try&error part on your own.
Problem with opinionated threads is also that they tend to turn south after some time. Therefore I will close it.
Wassup all... Just got the streak 7 for tmobile...
Yes i know, search button!! I tried, but couldnt find anything... So help please!!
1.. What/How do i make phone calls..? What apps or what do i need...
2.. All these upgrades to diff. Versions.. Whats best?
3... What apps is good to get to help the streak better...?
4.. tv.mobile... Some shows have an error... Why?
thanks for the help!
Help anyone? Please..
you have a nice search button in the coner over there
Read, read and read some more. That's the only way to figure out what you can do w/ this toy.
1) I'm currently using fring. It's not the best but skype is "supposed" to be making a nice upgrade for android.
2) if you install CWM thru fastboot you can get some of roms offered here. If not used to flashing diff. Roms, is just stick to Update 2.2 W/ FULL ROOT. Just follow instructs, its easy. Easier than alot of other tabs.
3)Follow the webblogs like androidpolice, androidcentral, streakdroid, etc.
4) T-mobile TV kinda sux, IMO, its quality is pretty bad. Maybe better on the LG tab. I use Hulu anyway.
Note: we were all noobs once, I've been modding Symbian OS and Windows Mobile waaaaaay before Andy Rubin stepped onto the scene. I think some noobs just need the right push to start.
We all know this question has been asked many times before; but that's just it, times BEFORE. With the Nexus One, things have changed, IE: newer ROMs and Kernels. I though I would just ask the following to find out what's best now-a-days. (But if this question has been asked recently, please forgive my dumbass-ness, I will remove this post then.)
What's the best kernel for the N1? I'm looking for something not much as 'overclocked' but something good on the battery yet is powerful enough for smooth animations. BTW: I'm on the latest MIUI. I guess I'm saying BatteryLife>Performance (never thought I would...) Thanks.
