I AM A NOOB at this. I do not pretend to know anything about phones and their OS's. Or how they work together. I did some preliminary searching before opening a new thread, and found nothing relating to the subject in question. Admittedly, I also suck at using search engines.
So, being that the HTC HD7S and HTC Inspire 4G are similar internally, would WD7 Mango work on the Inspire? Both phones are; ATT, HTC produced, have 1ghz processors (Inspire: 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8255 Processor, HD7S:Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor ). Each has similar amount of RAM.
My reason for wanting to try this: I have a spare Inspire. I'm tired of iOS and Android for the time being. I have used Cyanogen. I would like to try out WP7. I am interested in making development/coding a hobby. (Take your pick)
Thanks in advanced. If I have done anything that annoys the forum, please forgive me, I am new and in time I'll learn what is and isn't acceptable.
nobody has been able to get a Windows' Bootloader onto an Android device.
so, at the moment, not possible to do.
my opinion, sell the Inspire, will fetch about $200, i believe and spend a little extra on a used HD7.
I was just reading through the One VX announcement and I was wondering if it offered any hope for a Sense 4 and possibly a future Jelly Bean port for the Vivid? I know that Sense 4 was stalled because of the RIL problems. Is this hardware similar enough to the Vivid to give us some hope?

Unfortunately...our vivid and the one vx have completely different hardware...different processor, different graphics processor...I don't see us being able to port anything from it...

Darn. I saw the VX was a dual core Qualcomm processor with LTE and a qHD resolution screen.I was hoping that might be similar enough to help out.
Thanks for the reply.

Well, many of the early Sense 4 ports for the Sensation line were based off of the Ville RUU.

There was only 1, that was never fully working. The VilleC/C2 is the Asian version of the One S that they were releasing with the Snapdragon S3 (like ours). A Sense 4 port from that specific Ville may work out better, but the rest of the One line (XL (Evita), V (Primo), S (Ville), and the new VX) all has Snapdragon S4's, with different GPUs then our device. The International One X (Endeavor) has a quad core Tegra 3, looks like the new One X+ does as well. The ATT Version of the X+ is getting a Tegra 3 chipset as well, so it must be a new chipset with LTE
Hi and welcome
Any users that wanna say hi, introduce yourself and give a little history of devices/experience etc your more than welcome.
This forum has been long over due, maybe we can attract some new devs now and get some more development going
big thanks to everyone who made this forum possible:thumbup:
Came from the wildfire s, great little phone had s-off which was cool, some great devs and roms etc.
Got the desire c not long after release, one for my son, one for my woman and one for myself.
Great little phone, good price sim free unbranded, does all I want it to
Last week got my upgrade from tmobile uk, they gave me a oneX with an amazing deal, as I wanted to leave and they wanted me to stay
Some cyanogenmod development would take the desire c to another level
Your a lucky guy, I dream I got one not long ago.
Everybody, if you have the choise buy this phone. It's just amazing Only the screen is a little bit small, but it's a cool phone. My first HTC and I won't buy other phones now, only HTC
My phone history is somewhat... erm.. erratic... Love cracking Phones open and have begun writing guides on how to do things... but been an android fanatic for almost 3 years
Had the following;
SE Xperia x10
HTC Desire HD,
HTC Sensation x 2
Samsung Galaxy SII x 2
SE Xperia Play
HTC Evo 3D
Samsung Galaxy Note x 2
Samsung Galaxy Note II x 2
HTC Desire C (Current - To Tide Me Over)

As you can see TONS , and ive learnt lots, however i want to start cooking Roms soon as i understand the android Eco Environment quite well
Damn mate, you could open a museum
Before my wildfire s, I was a big Nokia supporter, having nearly every model since the 3210, then symbian was sinking fast so I jumped off my 5800 and never looked back, although if they made an android device I would be tempted.
Anyway nice to have you here mate:thumbup:

Ive had...
HTC wildfire( sold on mazuma, although survived the washing machine )
HTC sensation( no longer in my possession due to unfortunate circumstances )
DJC touchpad 2 (pretty crap...)
Other crappy phones..
HTC desire C running explosion Rom by seanny... Switch to my Stock NFC Rom when needed.
Been flashing roms since I was 13, love android, love my desire C but love my mums one s even more I prefer bigger screened phones so after having a sensation, the feeling of going to a desire c wasn't as sensational....

This is my first android, so I won't be able to help the community much, just with issues and solutions a user can come up with.
Been looking for a cellphone upgrade for the last year or two, and I picked this phone since it resembles my old HTC size and texture.
During my teenage years got Nokia's between 3310 and 6100 (s40) to 6630 (s60), and later moved to the WM camp with the HTC Touch. Really liked the phone and thanks to xda was able to upgrade from WM6 to 6.5 that extended the life of the phone way more than I expected (5 years but this is due to other circumstances as well... also can't remember my old xda account... )
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!!
have a great holiday:beer:
Maybe Santa will bring desire c's to many more users and many more devs will flock to our forum
merry x-mas guys have a blast:highfive:
This is my first android as well. Although I've had this phone for quite a while. I've been off and on nameless and explos!on ROMs because I can't chose which one is better although I've never tryed slim sense or the famously incompleted, cm9.

My first ever android device was a htc wildfire, man was that thing bad, but i did learn alot about roms and kernels etc...
My second device was a sony ericsson xperia x8, which was a really nice phone and had alot of cool themes, roms and stuff going on.
then i got the first htc desire, which i loved because it was fast and wasn't too big and due to it basically being the same as a nexus one the development was so awesome
Now i have my desire C which is a good little, phone and as others say it does what i want it too. But however, if some cyanogenmod development on this device came along it would be so much faster and smoother than with sense for certain.
See i now no longer have this device, it was a stand in for me, but its a cute device.
Back to my trusty Note II .
Id be happy to continue trying to develop for it ha
I've been reading through the posts about the general lackluster developer community for htc phones as a whole. It appears, at least within what I have seen throughout the hardcore android community that this phone, mainly for hardware, is the biggest competitor to the s4. Obviously there are other choices, all of which have their ups and downs(Z,s4,920), but in all this is the phone to rival the s4 right now. To me and this was on another thread about vanilla android, that really it is a deal breaker if the dev community is going to be atrocious. So my question is, do you think the dev community will be larger for this that the one s, due to the draw away from the s4's lackluster design and minimal hardware upgrades. It is really the only phone I am considering getting apart from the next nexus, but I can't pull myself away from how this would be my ultimate phone if it had stock android on it.
This device will gather developers from the HTC evo 3d, evo 4g lte, one x, one xl, international one x, one s, etc..etc.... So yes the development on this device will be epic since it is the only flagship device from HTC. We might loose some developers to other devices but we will also gain some. I woupdnt worry much about not having enought development for the HTC one.

So in that case will developers like Bad Seed Customs etc from the Evo CDMA line be releasing stuff for international too? Or will it be possible to have a one device zip like Virus has with the Evo 3D Viper ROM? Sorry I live in a GSM area
And @OP if you search either this forum or general there is a thread by -viperboy- which has a list of a few developers
What about support from HTC? The S3 I have has next to no support for developers, is HTC any different?

Better because the chipset used (qualcomm) is more documented and has more support from qualcomm themselves via codeauroraforum or whatever its called
However HTC tend to screw around with the source a bit
One thing HTC is bad with is bootloader unlocking: its not "unlocked" as there are many restrictions that samsungs don't have
But overall imo HTC has better support once you get over the bootloaders

Well the first step for Bad Seed Customs is to actually get this damn phone in the US....
Hello,
First of all, allow me to indroduce myself. My name is Michael, and I have made some contributions to the XDA scene two years ago in the Xperia Mini Pro forums. I ported HTC Sense and Cyanogenmod 7 to that device and was the first to start the real development for that device.
With that said, I have retired for two years and have lost track of the developments. Anyway, on to my question:
Is it possible to port the HTC DNA / Butterfly J rom over to the Xperia Z?
Looking at the specifications, both devices feature a Qualcomm S4 Pro chipset, and a Adreno 320 GPU, empowering a screen with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels.
Technically, this was the requirement to port a HTC Sense rom back in the days, a matching CPU, GPU and screen size. I do not know if this has changed.
My main reason for this question is that, if we can get the HTC DNA rom booting on the Xperia Z, we could also get the ported HTC One for the HTC DNA rom working on our phone, and enjoy Sense 5 (Minus Zoë)
I am looking forward to a reply from any skilled developer!
this indeed looks very interesting
if i recall correctly sense has been ported to several devices like the gnex and S2
i wouldnt mind trying sense on my xperia z :3

Hey, good to see someone from the past
I already have the device, but porting is a pain in the you know what.
(Sense is not as easy to port anymore, + I have zero experience in kernel modifications.)
Having sense would be great.
Hope you can do it.
I can help for tests if you want

First of all, thanks for the thread. I have already tried a similar approach, but the problem is that HTC Sense 5 will not boot with these minor modifications to the kernel. I have to make more advanced customizations, of which I do not have the knowledge yet. I will try to contact the developer of the port for the Sony Xperia Arc, and it's fingers crossed that he'll be willing to help me out
