Can we put Android ROM in HTC Touch Diamond? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

HI,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond from August-2008. Planning to retire it in another 6 months time. However, I don't want to throw it away. So, planning to see if I can upload an Android OR Windows Mobile - 7 / 7.5 / 8 kind of OS on the same phone for experimentation. Anyone can help me with some ideas and resources for this?
Regards,
~ Madhu

For daily use, is only possible upgrade to wm 6.5.X.
There are versions of Android to instal on the external memory, but there are not stable.
WindowsPhone 7.X or 8 is not possible.

Dear AF_624, my Diamond does not have external memory card option. My phone specs are:
4GB built-in memory card
192MB RAM
256MB ROM
Qualcomm Processor
Can I upgrade to WM 6.5? If so, can you please suggest some resources for the same?

There is a PXA272 device with WM2005!

Hi there!
I keep reading in this forum that there will never be a WM5 version for the Alpine because there is no WM5 version available for the Alpine's processor.
The AnexTEK moboDA 3360 however uses the same PXA272 520 Mhz. processor the Alpine does. So that's not really true then?
Kind regards,
Piet
...I read in the past some threads,but I don't remember if it is only a CPU issue, otherwise let's extract the rom and install in our ppc...it has very similar technical specifications

I have found a WM5 rom, but it is for HP, which have almost the same processor.. I have post the link in this tread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2796499&postcount=261
We should ask Himalya forum for help, because they have experience in extracting and cooking stuff.
Use the Universal as a base rom (same chipset) and import drivers from himalaya for the equal specs (display, audio-circuit) could solve this... or am I that dumb? The different RAM / ROM structure aint an issue, it can easily be fixed. (there are ROMs that support 128 RAM + 128 ROM for Universal too)
I think soon we'll triumph! I hope))
And what if some drivers won't be suitable for Alpine?

To successfully flash a ROM in your Himalaya from SD card you HAVE TO have your own backup, as Hima's bootloader puts there his own signature - and this signature is unique for every device and even every SD card!
SD bacUp
wow Nice, tell me way you upgrade to SD??
ีup rom from sd
Want to try but do not understand how
The memory dump is written on the side of the main Himalaya
great job team!and polish language mm mm delicious cookie!
Thanks, but this ROM is very old - build and structure
Change keyboard
Is it possible to change the keyboard in this ROM ? I wanna the standard keyboard what is in WM 6.1 or something like the keyboard in attached screen.
Thanks
Yes, this is possible
HI nokser
Can you tell me how I can do it?
Thanks from the mountain!
Change keyboard
I'm not an expert, and i'm not sure, but it might be impossible.
I tried to do this i that way: i install the file SJ KeybSkin_Touch.zip and download the skin . But nothing happens ...
I had no problems with installing cab files but the keyboard didn't change.
Maybe there is another way to do this.
Or i made a mistake somewhere?
Can you help me? this rom is great, but i wanna a other keyboard.
Thnaks

You are correct - your device has 288M of ram however in your case only 187M is available to the user. The rest is used by the system - file cache etc.
aaaa it's like vista eats more thanks man

When will we be getting a rom of wm7 for him?

Does anyone know?
Or is it a long way off?
flyboy
I don't know it is even possible, also winmo7 didn't leaked yet. It will be BIG, our storage is only 32 mb, I think main kernel will not run at that chips, no drivers, complete NEW system.
Only person who can make it possible is Cotulla, because he works in microsoft and it is not a problem to compile it from screw.

我想没有人能建立WM7 For Himalaya;
Nk.exe CE7[这必须要bsp来做],即使可以生成HimDrivers,Rom空间也不够
*.Kernel会增加一半的空间,至少需要 64MB Rom LZX
HTC UNI能建立WM7,但是非常缓慢,我不喜欢
Himalya继续wm6.5.x 运行效率更高

Do you have an access to himalaya drivers and nk.exe ?
Oh my friend .....
Simply porting from another device ....
On the other hand .... Microsoft offers the SDK application and there can be, given the application to adapt to the device.
MS - is just only example
I think it's impossible to put W7 in our Hima, need more storage than just 32 MB and other new system!

New Dual boot ROM T5353

http://www.solonomi.com/rom/T5353/
has dual boot ROM for T5353 which it seems should be Touch Diamond 2
But size of ROm is 87 MB odd, which indicates it may be T5353 Chinese clone
can anybody confirm?
I have a Topaz with Android 2.0, but Android cause many problems, how i can install this dual boot?
I not install wm 6.5 because Topaz not conect with pc, in windows explorer only sd card content appears.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Brazil.
Thanks.
