Hello guys,
I'm from the Xperia Arc forums and know how to flash Android phones, but one of my friends has a HTC XDA Diamond and WinMobile 6.1 on it and wants Android on it.
After he saw how awesome Android is on my Xperia X10 and now on my Xperia Arc...
So he wants to know which Android ROM is the best one and how to install it?
The ROM should be:
- as fast as possible
- as stable as possible
- most up to date regarding the Android version
- most/all stuff should be working
He wants me to install it and choose the ROM as he thinks I'm good at that stuff (well, I'm good on Android...).
So please tell me which ROM is the one to use and how to put it on his device.
I have no experience with WinMobile so please don't be rude to me.
Thanks
Regards,
Flo
You may want to look into the sub-forum for ROM development.

Good luck!
P.S. Obviously you need to do the complete unlocking procedure as well (HardSPL etc.) - see for that the stickies on the top of the sub-forum
Thanks.
I, well we, gonna look into it

Hey all
Some of you may know me for my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3 ToolKits.
Well I just finished porting the Google Nexus 7 ToolKit and need a few people who have locked (or unlocked) UNROOTED tablets to give the ToolKit a good test and give me a list of any errors of any kind.
This ToolKit is ready to go it just needs testing so it can be released. I dont own a Nexus 7 but have been asked by quite a few people to make it happen and im hoping I can get a Nexus 7 in the near future so I can work on the ToolKit more freely.
If you want to help test please let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so I can send you the download link.
Thanks.
Mark.
locked and unrooted
I have a locked an unrooted Nexus 7. I am prepared to test. I am in the business of writing software too, so I may be better at testing (although we all know developers should never actually test).
Got my nexus 7 yesterday. Completely stock and unrooted. I'm in for testing. Especially since I used the gnex toolkit so I kinda owe you one.

my 2nd one is unrooted, ready to test it
Thanks I will send you the link as soon as its uploaded (about 20 minutes from NOW).
Please make a note of everything you test and especially anything that needs to be fixed or any incorrect wording.
As I said I dont have the Tablet yet so I may have worded the unlock procedure wrong or a few other things but all procedures should be good

Hi All,
I am the person that someone made a thread about saying that I was attempting the impossible and porting Ubuntu Phone OS on an LG Optimus 4xHD. I was waiting for the bootloader unlock however my attempts at unlocking the bootloader failed and in the attempt to do so cause my bootloader to update to 262-000. I eventually got fed up with the try and decided to try it without the unlock.
I have now got Ubuntu Phone OS running but only from the ADB shell (so no UI at the moment) and am soon publishing a video and uploading the zips and instructions of how I did it so that other developers can help me get the UI working.
News will be posted at the following link.
elbuntuprojects.com/articles/
And tonight I will be uploading the documentation of how I managed to get as far as I have.
If any developers want to help keep watching this space and ill update you as soon as the stuff needed is online.
Note: This is only for people who dont need the phone at the moment as its purely the command line so ubuntu_chroot and co so not for everyone....
Updates soon, just thought I would give an update,

It absolutely will, ive tried a couple of times but had trouble getting it to boot, its not high on my priority list because ubuntu-touch itself it still in its infancy (think how long it took google to get android to a useable state), building it at the moment is just for the novelty
Interesting thing is that about half a year ago, at around 13.04 upgrade, when I ported Ubuntu Touch to my Galaxy R, everything worked like a charm with really minor changes, but on the O4X it's hardly even booting.

In those days it was still in an early stage, so they still haven't make massive mods that have been now applied.
I'm working on it too, and it's more difficult than I thought, even if it's based on CM 10.1.
I succesfully compiled it without hard-to-fix errors, but had a bootloop at kernel/ramdisk-level.
Any thought about what could cause it?

Hi Everyone
Just read on several sites how the latest model for Verison will Dual boot into Windows 8.1 and Android.
Is there a way to add this to the existing / original Android M8
Where did you read that?
Theres no way they would release a verison with 2 operating systems especially when android has been widly available for the device. Theres currently no version of a bootloader that has the right environment for windows adding an android boot to there bootloader "to try and even get back to android" Unfortunetly android is open sourse and windows is not, they would have to release there sourcecode to the developing world if they wanted to dual boot with android and they wont. so its up to us to exctract it on our end to make android 's boot loader able to dual boot into windows and hopefully find a way to get back.

it's not the source code which Needs to be released...it's the bootloader which Needs to be extracted and opened to get it working on the android Version! and that's difficult unless someone like cotulla will work on it!
Agreed im just saying we wouldnt need to extract it if they just handed it to us to work with and i hope cotulla does!

From http://www.anandtech.com/show/8390/htc-announces-the-htc-one-m8-for-windows
For some users the most exciting prospect of the HTC One (M8) for Windows may come from the fact that it shares the same hardware as the One (M8). It's possible that the developer community will be able to load the firmware from the HTC One (M8) onto the device in a dual boot configuration with Windows Phone 8 so users can switch between the operating systems as they please.

This is one of those, "Well it might be possible to if developers can figure it out" quotes. As the others have posted, there will be no absolute easy way to do this and a lot of the pains will be on the bootloader side. If someone DOES happen to figure it out, I don't see it happening for a LONG time (This also counts as hope for someone to prove me wrong ). We can only be hopeful that HTC failed to lock down something they should have done.
The HD2 was like the holy grail and I don't see that same sort of configuration happening again.
Htc has in m8 wp8.1 version something like s-off for android devices...in one m8 wp8.1 forum there is a thread where a guy is writing about the whole thing why it won't be that easy to mod the OS etc
I'm a daily "hourly" reader of engadget and they have posted about the version with windows but Verison is not releasing a dual boot version it is up to us to make that happen! Read alittle more carfully before making assumptions. Its possible "maybe" but its allot of work as snickler said its saying whats possible not whats out. Also im with One-M8-Master on this one, check out the thread it should clear a few things up on the boot loader side. lets all hope someone gets lucky and does it!

In another thread, this has been released. here
I moved this thread back to One Q&A since the moderating team decided that's where it belongs, but I'm closing it since we now have a single discussion thread for porting Windows Phone 8 to the current m8s. Please continue the discussion there.

HI ,
any dev already started with the Marshmallow aosp code to port it to our glory device ?
Thanks in advance.
Wrong forum section!
bro not even the nexus mobiles have gotten the upgrade so iu think its petty early for developing marshmellow, so i think you should be asking this question in november or december when there would be enough development

Almost all recent nexus devices received 6.0 already, there are roms already too for them, and yes, some devs for titan have started working on 6.0 too, but please don't ask for ETAs or anything, roms will arrive when they have to, also as the other user said: wrong forum section!
wait a minute... this is about the Moto G 2014, right? which will get official 6.0 anyway, correct? How can smbd. honestly expect there to be real progress with a 6.0 ROM one week after the 6.0 release for Nexus (which btw. hasn't even reached any of my Nexus devices yet) and before there's even been a 6.0 GPL kernel release for the Moto G from Motorola? Give us a break PLZ
I was also wondering about this thing, thanks for asking
Very simply put. Yes, development has started. However what is missing is the source code from caf or simpler the source code for the hardware configurations for android m. This then, has to be set up to work with the android "software" for android m you get from google. And this takes some time.
The caf source code should be getting released in the next weeks. If you see android m for non nexus devices it is basically android m running on top of the hardware configs for android l.
