i was just wondering if a hero can run wm 6.5 and would it be worth it.
Well... while in theory it's probably possible to write an emulator or even hack Windows Mobile to work with different hardware, it's highly unlikely that anyone has bothered to do so. So the short answer is, no, get a Hero if you want to use Android, or get another phone if it's Windows Mobile you want.

i dont think it would be worth it. the hero is an awesome phone, but it isnt anything special hardware wise. if you want winmo it would be a whole lot easier to just buy a winmo phone. i reckon more people are interested in doing the opposite. i would love to have android on my TP2.

Why no, the why wouldnt you want to part i understand.
Seeing the new HD 2 running on wm 6.5 WITH a captive touchscreen and
about all the hardware being the same on the winmo phones (diamond2)
makes me think it is possible, but still it would be easier to just buy a winmo phone...
Could this be a sticky. I have a feeling this going to a frequently asked annoying question. It has already been asked several times.... Want a Windows phone buy a windows phone.

Why buy a windows phone when the Hero suits your visual demands and is able to run wm 6.5
I can imagine people not buying the hero for it's looks, same with the diamond2
Imagine me loving the hero phone but don't want to leave winmo... would be great
if it can run on it.
Whilst I'm sure it is possible that some enterprising chef could cook up and post up a WM6.5 ROM for the Hero, it would be removed instantly because it would be warez.
The Hero didn't come with WinMo, and therefore doesn't come with a licence to run WinMo. I'm sure someone would argue that they've an old WinMo device and want to "transfer" their licence to the Hero, but the chef could still find themselves being pursued by MS.
The same is not true in reverse of course, because Android is open source, but we've already seen Cyanogen receive a C&D letter from Google for distributing their closed source binaries with his ROMs.

Nah, you wouldn't want to put WinMo on the Hero.
BUT I have an old Orange SPV which runs an old WinMo, could I put Android on to that ?

Hello
Is it possible to run Android on Touch2?
Nope, it needs the HardSPL first and then a custom android rom cooked just for the touch 2.
If I sound like i know what I'm talking about, I dont, but thats what I've been told so far.

I dont think that you are right! You dont need HardSPL for Android not even to change ROM! You can run Android under windows for many devices just not Mega yet! Check this.

Yup. There is possibility to start the android from Windows Mobile with help of special executable (haret.exe). But it seems this way does not work for Mega yet.

yes android is working just a few bugs but is usable as a phone
May be more information or instructions?
Any chance of crashing or bricking the device ?!

I really don't understand you guys...
Why did you bought HTC Touch2, which is with WinMobile OS, when on other side you could buy HTC Tattoo with Android, and with more hardware, and also little cheaper...
And now, you want to put Android to Touch2...
Why didn't you buy android phone...?
I just don't see point...
How about getting WM on the Tattoo?
These two devices seem as similar as it gets.

i could buy the Tatto when i chosed my phone , but i didnt know WTF was Android ... just heard only that it's a new google OS and that's all ... and when heard that if u start posting all the apps for WM u cant stop for years , my choise was done ;]] now Android devices question if they can run WM on their devices and we quest if we can run Android on our devices isn't it cool
WinMo<--->Android fight which is better , but they want to run each other and give it a try ?!

The touch 2 is half the price the Magic and the Hero are.
@secosan
Touch2 is about 10 euros more expensive than Tattoo...
@LtBlue
It is nice to have dual boot (WinMO and Android). I have it on my Diamond.
Only thing is that Android will never get 100% ported to Diamond (or other WinMO device). There is always something missing,... and battery life when using WiFI is very short (approx 2 hours). This and other small bugs (plus frequent Android crashing on Diamond) is turning me from android on Diamond...
There is android topic in Diamond forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402002 with more than 6000 replies, and more than 1,600,000 views, but solution for 100% port of Android to Diamond is not yet found.
Honestly, I think it will never will be made... More likely, everyone who desperately want Android on Diamond, will buy Android device, like me... (still need money for that)
Well, I just wanna say to you all: Don't give up with android on Touch2, but most likely it will never work as it work on native Android device.
If you are desperately in need on Android device, then buy one...
And have in mind, that you will get more hardware with Android phone, and it will be cheaper than WinMO device in same rang.
Hope I helped a little...
I want to ask if we can get wm7 in HD2
after week, month
Please can you answer me Is it possible to run wm7 in HD2
And when we can get it

Thanks

How do you know it's possible and not difficult yet? I know cotulla got it to boot using magldr, but past that we don't know if its gonna be possible to actually run it unless we have Microsoft's test versions and jtag flash them to the hd2 ... and even then we don't know if it could be functional enough to make it worthwhile.

I'm pretty sure that what was seen in the Chinese video was one of the testbed hd2s that ms put wp7 on for development. It was definitely an earlier version of the os... and I'm sure it was either flashed on by ms or a jtag was used to flash one of the test versions of wp7 ... either way there is no wp7 that would be possible for one of us to flash.

Maybe the chinese one is a pretest device from microsoft. ok, but what do you tell about the one from cotulla ? you think MS gave the ROM image to cotulla so that he can flash it through Magldr ? or maybe he's fake too ?

Did you bother reading my post above? I clearly stated that cotulla got it to boot with magldr, but until today, no one knew if it was operational at all. Now we know that he did get it operational except for the live stuff and app store.
I was just saying that it was not known at the time of the posts if it was gonna be possible to run. Maybe you believed it did, but that doesn't make it fact, and I think peoples questions should be answered with fact. Now that we know it can be somewhat ran with magldr, questions about whether wp7 can be run on hd2 can be answered with a yes.

Hi everyone just got my Mozart today
brilliant phone etc however bit of confusion
i have a lot of software that i used to use on my old wm6 devices that i am quite fond of just wondering is there a way of installing them or has windows mobile changed so much that i cannot install cab files like that anymore?
WM7 doesn't exist. Your Mozart is running WP7 - Windows Phone 7, and it is a totally different operating system. It has absolutely nothing in common with any of the Windows Mobile series.

Sorry, no, you can't install software from WM6 device to a WP7 device - simply not compatible. Also all software should be installed from the Marketplace and it will not be possible (without knife and spoon hacking/ developer kit) to install the equivalent of .cab files. Hopefully many developers will making new WP7 versions of your favourite software in due course.

Hello,
Some of you, or many, might have or might have not looked for a Windows Phone 7 Mango ROM for the Samsung Galaxy SII. I know I have.
However, to no avail, Google had failed me in my searches, and I couldn't find any, or maybe I've just failed. Also, I had a look around the forum, and again, there was no such luck. My guess ? Probably because there are none.
If that is the case, and developer working on such a ROM for the Galaxy SII ?Or, even, is there one already that is hiding from me, and from many others for that matter ?
never gonna happen, as its Closed source
Your post does beg a few questions...
Why not just go for a windows phone itself than such a ROM?
i am honestly refraining from saying something rude here...
If you are looking for a look and feel then here's some post on a theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288324
Please bear in mind that smartphones so far are more near to apple desktop/laptops than PC...
they can run OS from only one platform....
Not going to happen unless samsung put out a windows phone with similar hardware to the sgs2, and as wp7 has a very limited hardware spec which doesn't include the soc used in the sgs2 I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I usually express the same when people buy an Apple and would like to install Windows on it. Why not just get a laptop from the beginning ?
Anyhow, that's not the point. I've had my share of Windows phones [mobiles]. I first used a Windows Mobile 6.1 pro on my Samsung Omnia back in 2008. But, I didn't remain loyal to it. I am happy with my Android.
The point, is, or was, such as the HTC HD2, that is shipped with Windows Mobile 6.5, and can run Android, and also Windows Phone 7 [Mago too], thought maybe it could happen with the Galaxy SII.
It is not, however, going for a Windows Phone, but, it'd be nice trying it out without buying one. Not just the look and feel, sir.

And microsoft were testing wp7 on hd2. In sure that's where the first rom came from. And that's why no other phones have had wp7 ports.

Nobody ask for any roms i have to whole collection of them all. I see nobody wants to move on. well I still use it and i still laugh out loud, about it.BC the ipad or ipod and new devices can do what this can do too. i have made this thing in to a machine that never ends so many programs like about 100,000.00 programs collected them since 1999 when the older device were around. (like h3800 ipaq) and all those old programs still work for the WM6.5....... The device you use today Ipaq and amsung and so, you r being track down ever step you take but the old device as in HTC X7500 Advantage can not be trace or track down, bc as long as you know to chage the mac an ip you are ok. but who care anyway no buddy join my group, i still wonder why? there is still more with the connection of HTC X7500 and the HTX X9500 shift still lives with me.
