Again, no video. It's easy to fake screenshots. On the other hand, why would Tom destroy his reputation?
Let's wait and see...
I think I'm going to keep my HD2 a little longer. Not that it's likely that I will prefer WP7S over WM6.5 or Android, but I'm curious to try it...

tom is a pretty reputable source, i dont think that he'd do that either.
It was also confirmed by a Mod in the HD2 ROM development thread. Lets wait and see..

easy to fake a screen shot with shadow and glare and perfect reflection...
A prominent person such as him is not a person who would let his name get dragged in the mud like that, I'm inclined to believe this is the real deal. Its alot sooner than I couldve ever hoped for, but with the lack of software available at this point anyone trying this without an IRONCLAD way of downgrading is a hopeful idiot IMO.
Still, fantastic news nonetheless.

Of course, if you display it on the phone.
Very easy, actually.
Well, Tom actually says the pictures are coming from Russian hackers, and I'm a member at the forum where this was posted initially. These guys are very reputable and have proved more than once that they have some good sources, but they could play a joke as well.
Good sources? Afaik they just hacked an HTC server.
But you're right, those guys are credible.
Too bad they couldn't make a video, though
Video is up guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJCFdojbjh8
And that video doesn't look like it's that Throttle Launcher WP7 skin?
not to me...
I say bring it on though
Video seems suspicious to me as you can't see if it's really an HD2 - all you can see is a black shape. But then, these people who have done and confirmed this are indeed reputable...
My prayers have been answered. Granted, I figured it would just be a matter of time... just not this SHORT an amount of time!!!

Guys, this is tom_codon. Just have a look about XDA, I very much doubt he would do this.
As for me, I read in the (other forum) thread that you cannot go back to WM6.5 once installed, as they had to replace the bootloader to get it to work - so this is definitely out of the question for me...
video 2 for all the doubters....

If they came this far to get it on there then I'm sure that will get figured out as well.
I did not know if I should put this in the general section or not. As many of you advance user dislike that section. But anyways... Today I came across this video, That clams that you can now use the iPhone OS on your android phone. I just wanted to know if you guys know anything about this. And do you think it is possible? Another thing? Is there anyone here that is working toward the same goal to have the iPhone OS on the android? Thanks is will really help me out.
P.S>Here is the link to the video:
youtube.com/watch?v=bxnUYtCm-Tw
I think it has been discussed before but I'll interject my opinion. Why in the name of sweet chocolate christ would you want to run the iphone os on here? I had every iphone since gen 1 and got the evo instead of iphone4 and I've never looked back. You know that expression" you don't know what you've got til its gone"? Well this is more like" you don't know what you had until you got something outrageously better"! I know devs like to do things just to prove it can be done. But id really hate to see a talented dev waste their time on this exercise in lew of something more useful like kernel, rom, and app development.
Just my$ 0.02. Change expected.

Just watched the video. I guess its worth a shot i'm not sure what kind of risk it posses to your phone or even what it looks like. I would probably classify this under proceed with caution and only if you really know what you are doing.
I don't get it. If you wanted to run the iPhone OS on an EVO why didn't you buy an iPhone?

I am not saying I want to.. I really want to know if it can be done. Also I am interested in a few things the iPhone OS offers, but why in sand hills would I do something as stupid as buy an iPhone. I would never buy an iPhone. I think the phone is a peace of crap. But if I don't pay for the OS then why would I care to try a few things!
Seems strange, they never actually show the iPhone OS running on an Android device so how can you even tell if this is legit?
If it is, I think it is pretty cool. I am definitely an Android fan, but the more our device can do is always better!

I know for one thing, I always here that the iPhone has some great game that have not made it's way over to Android yet so that might please alot of people.
Wonder if the OS is jail broken this way. I still don't believe that it works though. I think we would have heard a lot more about this........

Yeah! Exactly... If I could just prove it. I tried to download the file from the site but the site was down. But I did look more into and found out that this kid from NJ has proved this method works.
So here is a list of stuff our Evo's can already run:
Android 2.2
Windows 98
Windows XP
Windows 7 (Buggy)
Ubuntu (Linux)
iPhone OS (Once proven by me)

First sorry I'm posting a lot I have history of confrontation with an iphone owner over whose device was better. So this sparks my interest a lot.
I agree it seems a bit fishy and the site to download the files doesn't exists according to Google chrome. So I cant even look into it or examine the files

So I just looked at the video again. Check out the comment: "yes, i have run into a lot of bugs. but i am working hard to fix them. This is why the files are not up yet. i hope to have them available with many bugs fixed by mid next week. for people that downloaded already.. please report bugs. thanks"
Sounds fishy... But yet cannot wait till they put it back up to confirm!

I was thinking of opening up another line for my wife, I don't care for the 3d or paying 200+ for a new phone.
I wanted to see if anyone here would know if there is any kind of support like root or ROM development on this phone. I don't hear much or any buzz. (once you root, it's the way to go) Can't just have a plain old stock phone..lol!

Yea, seeing as my wife and myself have the evo design, and its not a bad phone.. it needs some love, and customization options.
Lets get a forum going for it, and get it some ice cream sandwich ! lol
I also was looking for some support for this phone as I am thinking about getting this on another line. Like most people here I don't like to keep anything stock for to long after I get it home. Well I will just wait and see what happens here.
I'm new to Android coming from the iPhone 4s and iOS, what do you guys recommend that I download In the way of apps and maybe even Roms?

Welcome to the Android world. In order for members to suggest what to get is you have to give more info on what phone you want or using at the moment.
There are thousands of apps in the android market and lots of ROMs to choose from.
i liked using Engadget, Pulse, IMDB, XDA, Taptu, and a bunch of other stuff most people wouldn't be interested in. i don't have my phone right now so i can't see my Play download history. nobody can tell you what ROM to use. you just have to read and pick one. i mostly just like to look at the pictures. ;p
I have just preordered the htc one x for AT&T and I was wondering what are the best and maybe some of your favorite apps.

Cool. I like MyBackup Pro and Root Explorer from the market. They are not free but I think they are worth it.
For ROMs I think you have to venture to the One XL forum to find out what they are cooking there.
Ok thanks, do you know of any apps that are specific to android that are not on ios? And I'll check out that other thread too.

And I definitely definitely definitely recommend swiftkey, the best keyboard out there (some prefer swype). In fact if you're not happy with the HTC keyboard just have a look around, you can even get the stock android keyboards.
Tegra zone shows you the latest games designed specifically for Tegra phones.
Chrome browser (however it lacks the text reformatting that htc provides on the stock browser)
Enjoy

The most important one I believe is if you ever root your device make sure you read the instructions and it should work out fine. ANd always backup your stuff.
Hmmm.. about android it's pretty basic though. Maybe watch some youtube clips to see how it goes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C9SCZRBxlo
Are there any real advantages to rooting an android device? It's kinda like jail breaking an iPhone right, is it mainly for themes, or is there more to it? I hate sounding like an idiot.

Think of it as jailbreak x2. Firstly you need it for Roms. (themes can be changed without rooting actually).
It also let's you modify your phones behaviour and performance to suit (for example, overclocking)
Hope that helps, I know other members can explain it better than me though

Ok thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.
As the name of the thread says. If you want iphone style notifications then download the app from the market. It is free and pretty sweet.
Video is below:
Link to the app is here
Enjoy and if you like the app hit the thanks
Credits to the developer who made it and to TechandMe who reviewed it.
just in case
If you didn't develop this application, you should't be asking people to hit your thanks button You're just here to provide a link to the Play store.

true and you do have a point sir. but i wonder if i did not come across this app while watching the review on youtube i wonder how many people on these forums would know about it..probably not a lot. just sharing like i said and giving people more options on how to customize their phones since we have the best OS in my opinion that lets us do this without the need to root.
Like the whole point of android..it is about sharing what we have and what we know..And i know about this app and wanted to share it with the people here. if it is in the wrong place by all means move it but i feel if people are going to share apps that they find on the market and want to share it with people then i think i am in the right place for it.
Using it..... would be using it for sometime until i get bored with this new stuff
nice find
thanks for finding/sharing
