(Sorry if this is on the worng section, feel free to move it if so.)
So, I wanted to post this when I had 1000 posts, but I acindetally let the post pass :/
Anyways, I will describe my good trip on XDA here.
First, I bought an HTC Touch HD (Windows Mobile 6.1) in 2011, which is the most stupid decision I could do but it was cheap, so... Anyways I was happy with WinMo for like a month, 'till I wanted something new, something different, so I wanted Android. I didn't know if this was possible, so I searched in YouTube for something like that (I usually search for these things on YouTube so I can see the comments and if everything is safe) and I found a build of Android Gingerbread that ran on the SD ( I actually only figured that out when I rebooted my device
), so I went and installed it. Everything went fine, but I had some questions. This is where I found XDA and asked my questions on the forum. Stilll, this build was too slow, so I wanted to fully replace WinMo, which was when I found tiad8 . com. This guy (tiad8) kanged a lot from the XDANDROID (original Android-on-HTC devs) kernel sources but he actually made a functional ROM for this phone. He was very insulted by the original devs and I don't have an opinion on that matter, since I used both of their works. Anyways, later fagyi (another dev) took care of the ROM for the HD and I actually made kernel progress and a lot of things for it to be a fast ROM, so I ended up using his ROM and doing a post of it here on XDA. The first post was blocked by the XDA mods crying but then fagyi posted the ROM itself and people still go there. After this ROM came out, I realized I couldn't use it since my phone got very hot (not on the ROM, actual motherboard problem) and battery was spent in like 2 hours. I had to buy a new phone, and I waited like 3 months to this, but on the last Christmas I finally got a Galaxy Nexus! When I got it I already understood a lot about Android development. Flashing ROMs was easy as pie (obvious, it's a Nexus ) and this is what I use now. I want to thank everyone on XDA that made it possible for my phones to be better and better by using their spare time to do this! Here are some names (not by any order) :
- fagyi;
- tiad8;
- ACL;
- arrrghhh;
- stinebd;
- HerrickWong.
Sorry if I forgot anyone.
Thank you XDA for these wonderful 2 years!
