Making a new phone behave like an old one

hajjat · #1 (**permalink**) 10-19-2011, 11:28 PM

Hi,

I had a project done on HTC Touch Vogue (6900) sprint phone on an Android ROM. However, because its processor and RAM are darn slow I decided to get a Nexus S phone and run the same project on it.

It turned out that the code of the project is very dependent on HTC Touch and it never got to work on Nexus S
Is there a way to make Nexus S behave exactly the same way as an HTC Touch (same boot process, no 4g, EDVO, etc)? I'm sure folks who develop ROMs should be able to help.
Or, if an emulator is available, than can run inside my Nexus s and emulate the old phone that also should be great!

Your help is greatly appreciated, I've been stuck on this for quite some time! :\

Thanks!

AFAIK - No. You can run Android on some WinMo devices, but you cannot currently run WinMo on Android.

Why would anyone want to run winmo on a android device?

No, I don't wanna run WinMo on Android. The HTC Touch I had was Android too. The problem is that although both of them have have Android, there are a lot of hardware and network protocol handshakes specific to HTC Touch that don't exist in Nexus S and the other way around. That's why I wanted to modify Nexus S and make it behave the same way as an HTC Touch. Is there any hack to do that?

Thanks!

Simple answer is no. You could ask at xda too.

OP Can you give more info on what this "project" is that you ran on your Vogue? Then maybe someone could suggest an alternative app or help you modify your project so you can perform the same tasks on your newer phone that you could on your old Vogue.
