You posted in the wrong section. You should look for your apps in the Dev and Hacking section and if you have questions, simply post in the Questions And Answers section.

The HTC HD2 can now dual boot android and windows phone 7. I know that the hardware of the two phones are near-identical. Would it be possible to port WP7 to the Evo as well? If so, is anyone doing so?
btw: Don't flame, this is a specifically development related question; I only want your input if you have something relevant to say.

ha, you can put meego, ubuntu, winmo 6.5, win7, and android 2.3(?) on it...its ridiculous lol
you are in the wrong section, yes you want a developers input but you are asking a question about a WM phone in an Android rom section......
now think whats going to happen........
Despite his subject line, his question is about the Evo... however, I think the Q&A section would be a better place for this thread.
This has been asked about 5 or so times in this section(dev, but looks like its been moved).. unfortunately .... and has been trolled into oblivion.
please search before littering.. Im not trying to put you down.. but putting WINMO7 on the EVO is like asking to put a lawn mower engine in a Ferrari.. why hinder the performance.
and even mentioning WINMO here is blasphemous .. Just saying..
Sorry to bump an old thread, but with the leaked Sprint 'Gold' (HTC 7 Pro) WP7 ROM on the net and the HD2 working pretty well, are we any closer to a possible EVO WP7?

No...
1) No one has said they are working on it.
2) I'm sure XDA would not allow it on the site due to Microsoft license (before you ask, it isn't license for our phone. Like swype can only be included in roms that it comes stock in)
Well I knew nobody was working on it, I was just curious about the possibility. I figured the licensing would be a touchy issue, but I honestly wasn't sure where exactly XDA stood in that regard considering the HD2 seems to have full support. Just curious, really.

why? we all came from winmo devices. all android is, is a better version of that, same principle and fanbase. sorry but i had to say it.
Does anybody see this happening on the EVO... Dual boot WP7 and Android?

I realize this is related to development, but this CLEARLY belongs in Q&A, not here.
WTF.. this was just asked this morning, as it was many other times.. if you want WP7 then go buy and HD2.. Android is far superior to WP7..

We understand you love your Evo, we get it. To the OP, I read that this morning and told my friend to put it on his HD2. That phone is getting all the love.
Been a long time android user. Love the customization of the OS, but its always fun to try something new! I know there have been a lot of people asking this on other device threads. Honestly, the E4GT could run WP7 like a champ. Plus, it would be great to have the option and be free to run what you want. Thats what XDA is for isn't it? Anyone give this a shot yet?

Not quite an android port but hey.
Ya, the demo is fun to mess around with, but why stop there?

Try metro launcher. Can't really port win 7 because it would be warez then. Windows 7 is not open source.

I see your an ACS member? If so, I just want to say thanks for all y'alls work on the original Epic in the Syndicate Frozen rome. They were my first dip into rooming and rooting. QBking77's tutorials really helped me learn. Thanks for all the help!
Back to the topic. Is there any way to install Windows Phone 7 onto the Epic Touch? I know for a fact that the E4GT can easily run it with the specs it has. Why not try and pull WP7 off of another Samsung WP7 device. Maybe that could be a starting point? I'm not a developer, but theres gotta be more people out there who want this to happen or are at least interested.

Like someone already said.. this would be considered illegal since WP7 is not opensource like Android.. It would also be extremely difficult (don't want to say impossible), considering the source is not available and the drivers most likely being incompatible.
This is the closest you'll get to it:

Ah. Makes sense. It is like Microsoft to screw up something with great potential by locking it down. Oh well... I'll just ask this since theres already a few people in here to seem to know their stuff. What rom would you recommend for the E4GT?

Now that you can go back to full stock, give them all a try. Everything is done exactly the same as on the Epic so it should be easy for you. Which is best is impossible to say. As you probably know from the Epic, some ROMs just work better on one phone than they may on another even though they are the same. That's part of the mystery of these Sammy phones

windows phone 7 sdk has been releasd
I have good news for you guys, i am actually a htc one x owner but this could be ported when its done, so im going to help. Windows phone 7 sdk was released the other day and as far as i know this means development and copy of its software is now legal.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27570
This is the link to the site where the sdk has been released. It allows the creation of apps and games for windows phone but as far as I know it could be the start of something big
Hope this could help a bit

you mean wont be jailed if we install it on our android phones ???
Maybe, it is possible?
Guess it can be done. Not at this moment though. Few years ago when Steve Jobs introduced Intel processors in macs, a new unofficial project was started known as Hackintosh. What it does is it simply asks the user to make a prototype of a certain version of a Mac and then installs Mac OS X using some custom bootloaders. I have done it in my machine.
Well, if we can find a phone exactly same as that of any WP phone, then it MAYBE possible, 'cause that'll (maybe ) discard the need for new drivers. Plus, its the world of piracy :laugh: :laugh: unless, you want to go sell your device or patent it, it should be perfectly alright to pirate WP (On your own risk though, IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED )
*I DO NOT ENCOURAGE PIRACY, ITS JUST AN IDEA, A WAY TO FULFILL YOUR PIPE DREAM*
good luck people. :good: :good:
Hey there, so I'm most definitely a noob here, so I'll keep it to the point:
I was curious if there was a way to port over the Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) to the Amazon Kindle? I know there are a couple themes to bring the Metro UI to the device, but I'm more interested in a true port.
I've looked all over the place, and it doesn't seem like anyone has done anything regarding this. Either that or I'm horribly blind when it comes to searching through things.
Anyways, if anyone has any insight, or a place that I should've checked out first for information, that would be pretty awesome!
Thanks!
I thought mango only supported single core CPU.

It would be hard considering WP7 is not open source like android.

Yeah, that's what I figured, ha!
I was just making sure I wasn't overlooking anything, you know?
Maybe someday then.
If you can basically write an entire OS.
It doesn't support the resolution, the processor, nothing. The entire thing is completely unsupported by the OS.
Way better chance of getting Windows 8 on it.

Whats the facepalm for????
I seriously would like to have this game on my android phone (Epic touch ).
I know the game is for iOS .
I know i should try contacting the developer (which im trying to find out how is the best method right now)
I know its not easy to have a game ported, as it is themes, and roms are hard but the developers on here do a crazy job and have alot of knowledge and this could be something they might want to do.
I dont use any iOS device but my nephew was playing it on christmas and i liked the game.
If the developer of the game would to ported to Android and put on the play store i would purchase it .
again im trying to find the contact info for this developer..
radiant defense is sooo much better and its in hd and on android

the face palm is for this
you know all of this, yet you still ask for it to be ported. no one but the developer will port it because its illegal (im pretty sure) to do, especially if its a paid app.
and if its an old game, then chances are the developer will never port it because if he had any plans to, it would of been done already.
so in conclusion
facepalm

i was hoping someone might have already seen it available or maybe knew it was in the works for android. I had searched over and over and i coudlnt find it but sometimes i might not have been looking in the right place. regardless that facepalm can be shoved up your A$$..
