I figured it wasn't but I've been browsing here for a while waiting for my phone to be released in Canada, just thought people who hadn't discovered it might want to take a look

Remember grilledcheeze that you guys didn't believe he was auditioning?

Remember grilledcheeze
He came here with like 2 posts and he asked for help on making video for XDA tv
Nobody helped because it was, "fishy" that he only had 2 posts made
Turns out he was actually telling the truth
He is now on XDA tv

I smell like a fish!
Haha, that's right!
I thought the fact that I was a registered user since 2008 would have some merit - you know, prove that I only make quality posts and use the search feature a lot.
It all worked out in the end though! I'll be on here a lot more begging for people to be on my show, so be nice to me

Yup. And back then you had to register to be able to use the search feature. (Either that or I couldn't find it without registering which could have been a major possibility)
Although with my current phone I may have to start posting more as no one can figure out how to unlock it. (SC-02b - a galaxy s variant that isn't compatible with the unlock programs out there )
Well done!
I saw your demo and I liked it, congratulations
Later when you settle on your new position we could talk about some joint venture

Thanks orb and alanrock! It was fun to make although a bit rushed. The future shows will be much better.

Android on HD7?

Cant wait for dev to start working on this
+1
the HD7 is a nice smartphone, but today WP7 is very unuseful.
I love all the Android functions and apps.
+1.
the possibilities that the hd2 has on the hd7 would be epic.
+1 .would love this phone over my HD2
+1
I'd love to have android or wm6.5 running on a phone like HD7. It's a shame there aren't any phone's out that were like the HD7 that ran Android or wm6.5. If I was to invent some, i'd call the one that ran Android the "Desire HD", and the wm6.5 one the "HD2". that'd be awesome.
I guess it'd also stop people coming onto the HD7 Forum just to post irrelevent duplicate threads, or at least that's what you'd think....
I would like BlackBerry 6 on HD7, but...

Very unuseful? Yeah, MAYBE if you live in a country where Live services aren't enabled. I don't. So it's a very useful and productive OS for me.
And on the contrary, I OWN an HD7 and the software outshines the hardware by leaps and bounds. Go back to the Android forums.

err.... i'm guessing he was being sarcastic.
Also, really, what is the point of this thread? So far i can see 4 people want Android on the HD7. 4 people who obviously can't read stickies (as nrfitchett4 pointed out) and also can't use the Search function. Why you didn't just get the desire HD is beyond me...
Yes, they did.

Confused
Can someone explain why the Desire HD doesnt meet your needs?
Or is it the point of having the desired outer shell and being able to change OS's at your choosing?
...basically the HD2 syndrome...
Probably because they don't have a DesireHD, they have an HD7.

hi, morpheus.. thats an excellent question. i'd love to get the desire. but i read that its hardware is similar to hd2... and the hd2 has call quality problems. but a friend of mine said that the call quality is clear... so i dont know if i should get the desire.
also, i was looking the the htc inspire. i'd like to dual boot wp7 and android on it. i'd like to know if this is possible. but i'm also worried about the batt life on it.

Because the DesireHD isn't on T-Mobile and the HD7 was the biggest screen available? I don't have a HD7 myself but what do you people have against having an option for other operating systems?
Some people in this section are so close minded it's not even funny.

I have a couple of friends with Desire HD. Don't know about the call quality, but the battery life sucks as hell..feels like it has a Nokia 1100 battery in it...Drains faster than a sandclock...
Otherwise its a fantastic device.,.

Would you settle for a Ford because the garage didn't have a Ferrari? That's the lamest excuse I've heard in a long time...
It's not Close mindedness, it's common sense. You want Android, get an Android phone. You want Dual Boot? Get a device capable of doing it.
Dual booting will become a reality for WP7 devices, it's only a matter of time. But creating Dozen's of threads on it isn't going to speed things up. If anything it'll slow it down.
My prediction is all of these WM6.5/Android threads will become redundant once Mango's released anyway, and people won't want to switch between OS's cos there'll be no point.

It is close mindedness, although I agree with the fact that if you wanted a Android he should have gotten an Android (I did, only reason I come to the HD7 forums is because my dad has one and I play with his). How did devices that are capable of dual booting come to be? It wouldn't have been possible if everyone was in mindset "I don't want that cause I have this".

And replying to every thread with the same canned off topic response is no better, sure he should have searched but being pricks isn't going to make him search in the future, it might just drive a potential future dev away from XDA.

I've been hearing good things about Mango and I think that WP7 will become a real competitor to iOS/Android once it comes out, until then however it is another story.
Who wouldn't want a device that can dualboot. It also preserves the life of the device in a sell/trade aspect.

I've seen exactly the same thing. The 1230 capacity battery on the Desire HD is way too small for a phone with 1ghz processor and the big screen.
The HD7 has the same specs of course, but because WP7 doesn't allow multitasking and background jobs the battery life isn't so much of an issue.

You obviously understand me or you wouldn't come up with something as pedantic as that. Think of any other analogy you like that applies the same logic, you'll still find it applies.

Personal opinion. WP7 is my favorite OS out there. I'll admit it has it's limitations, but for me there is no competition. It does what a smartphone should do better than any other device out there.

please?

Has anyone tried this method of rooting the Turbo?

Just saw this and it looks like a work around to paying $20 but was curious if its legit?
http://www.how-to-root.club/mp3-0/motorola-droid-turbo-6727.html
I wouldn't touch it man. It's even more sketchy that there is a 5.0 rom underneath it when our device doesn't have one. I think this may be labeled turbo but intended for the international version. I'm no dev, but I would not touch this until someone tears apart the apk and gives the green light that it's not bs.
Yea, thats what I was afraid of. Thanks for responding.
we've talked about this before, its a scam site.
look i put nokia 1100 on the site
http://www.how-to-root.club/mp3-0/nokia-1100-6727.html
This thread shouldn't be here. It belongs to Q&A.
This is why developers stop or do not work on making LOCKED PHONES UNLOCKED OR ROOTED. PAY THE $20.00 that is cheap for what you are getting also the work and hours one puts into this. WOW this makes me so mad. This is why I walked away from XDA years ago when I made ROMs for eris,razer and other phones. There is users out there that still try to rip off the only ones willing to help you unlock or root your phone. WOW "I saved $20.0 " man oh man.

Did you even bother looking at the website? He was curious about the legitimacy of the website, not whether it was worth $20 to root your device.
You know what makes me mad? When people jump to conclusions. This is why I rarely us XDA nowadays... so much emotion for a such a small thing.

Question Setup tips? T-Mobile.

Getting a Pro 10 (used). Any setup tips?
Also will mostly be using with with wifi calling T-Mobile USA on a Google Nest mesh network. Anything I should know? Thanks!
Don't get a 10 pro. Best advice I could give you.

I have never seen a device be abandoned so much.. I'm not going to write everything I've already written again because people won't be bothered to look themselves, the info is there, have a look.

Abandoned by developers...100% true... Not only that but oppo/oneplus are locking these devices down. Unlocking the bootloader on the 10T is already an issue.

They're mostly referring to the fact that OnePlus, once developer-friendly, has reversed that stance and with every flagship phone, has found more and more new and exciting ways to make developers' lives a living hell. Hence, no developer support. Meanwhile, OP releases updates that only seem to break things more than anything else. Buyer beware, as they say.
