Kik Messenger? - Windows Phone 7 General

Any word on a future release for WP7? I'm addicted to it on Android and pretty much need it in WP7. I know it'll require running in the background to not be useless. What are the odds?

Kik sort of sucks, but they can use push on wp7 so your worriea are invalid.

Anyone w if there has been any updates to this project? I do not see any information on Kik's website.
Whatsapp may be better but Kik are the only ones that I know of that are at least saying they are working on a WP7 chat app.

Win phone 7 has a nice clean ui

well here is one of the 1000's of "is WP7 possible on the Evo" threads in the Evo general section. Doing a search for windows would have yielded a bunch of these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803726&highlight=windows&page=3
Actually guys, when it comes to WinMo I would also say why waste your time. Windows Phone 7 however is a different story. It's a really nice UI. That said, I believe it's just a nice UI. I haven't used the phone so I can't say it's a good OS or anything like that and since it's Windows vs Linux (Windows Phone vs Android which is based on Linux) I would say Android is better based on that alone. So I wouldn't discount it and say it's not possible or worth it. Those interested would just need to get enough developers interested because it would be a long hard road to do so. A very long, very hard road.
Why waste the time on the port. Its a nice ui but you can also recreate it on android. The market sucks on winmo. Im sorry I mean to say windows phone 7. This is almost as stupid as hearing the webos port people are doing. webos has hardly any apps. It doesn't even have shazaam. Why don't people just implument the only thing they loved from palm. And its the card multi task. Oh wait itchig thumb.

Gotta say a Windows Phone 7 launcher or WebOS launcher replacement would be truly awesome applications.
There really is no reason to bash the guy (and any of the previous requestors) about wanting to see a different OS on the Evo. Don't get stuck with "Fanboy Syndrome". If he, or one of the devs want to hash out a port, then it only benefits the community. It's one more check box we can put on the look what my phone can do and your iPhone can't list.
Personally, I wouldn't use it, but there are things I miss about WinMo and I can see why some people would want it. Some businesses only allow WinMo for work. So what's wrong with wanting an image one can flash during the day at work, then flip on a Nandroid of the user's favorite Android OS?
I REALLY miss having OneNote integration; however, that's not enough for me to make the switch. Yes, WP7 looks nice, but it can't even multi-task!!! Seriously? Just keep me with WinMo 6.5 and have a nice day, Microsoft.
I would also like to see this happen
Lets think about this: We have seen Android on WinMo, Linux on Android, Android on PC, OS X on PC, PC on Linux AND OS X, and our fellow XDAers are working on WebOS for Android(which I personally am excited about)
The answer to the !!WHY!!GRRR!! fanboy questions is simply BECAUSE WE CAN! You can't honestly say that if it was released you would not at least read the thread and look at the cool screen shots OR try it once, the whole point of XDA is pretty much "because we can".
Oh, and brush up on your WP7 info, engadget wrote an article on how Microsoft is now allowing apps to run in the background like they should have from the start, so I'm fairly sure that in the competitive mobile OS environment, multi-tasking is coming to WP7 soon.
You guys bashing on this guy are ignorant. Why did people port Android to hd2 or the iPhone. Answer is someone wanted it and they could. If he he wants wp7 so be it.

I read the full review two days ago, I had assumed nothing changed since then. Good info though.

Why is windows phone not possible?

why is it not possible to port windows phone 7 on the desire hd, when it's possible to port it on the hd2?
It would be possible, it wouldn't be legal though. The Desire HD does not have a license to use WP7. That is the biggest hurdle. I don't think any dev here would want Microsoft Legal chasing them, plus it would be against XDA rules.

HD2 is a MS phone, so has MS drivers, DHD is not an MS phone (thank christ for that) so you'd have to start from scratch and why anyone would put the effort in is beyond me, especially when if it worked it'd attract the might of the MS legal department. Is it possible that the HD2 port relies on some MS development leaks even?

Quoted for truth.
I would never use Windows Mobile on my phone. Android is much better, and in my opinion Win7 Mobile has a terrible user interface.

I think - judging from title - he wants to know whether iOS could be ported over to WP7 devices. If so: no, not possible.

IOS is compiles for specific hardware, unless you get an idevice running wp7 natively there's no hope it will be ported to the current wp7 handsets.

I think it asks for your google to access your google drive.
The provided URL is not working but apparently it seems to be Polaris Office.
Well, it came built in with my One X.
Pretty lame that they are making fake apps...

Google does not 'allow' publishing to Play Store. They only scan the app for malicious code and publish. It's up to the users to decide if they want to give the app access to the features is requires or not. Google treats the users of their services like adults that can make their own choices alone, unlike Apple which treats them like children that are allowed to access only what Apple wants them to access.

Hi I'm a noob here and with anything android - so according to the noob video I found this thread, it's an old one so I hope that's ok.
I recently downloaded a free game called URBEX via amazon onto my kindle fire - the crippled android - anyway I really liked the game and browsing for something similar found what looks to be the very same game being sold by a chinese developer. The name of the game was only slightly different 'Arbex Escape' but the screenshots are of the URBEX game. Is it likely this Arbex is totally fake, I didn't see any point in downloading it to see but there are complaints about it not working on amazon and itunes where as URBEX has good reviews.
I looked up the so called developer of 'ARBEX' Zhiqiang Huang and Beth Ho, and it looks suspect to me but for all I know developers may allow resale remarketing of thier work somehow? I'ts made me look at the world of apps in a far more sinister light or am I just paranoid?
Doh, just seen it is an HTC thread, i'm not far off the mark though am I, I have got one of those too, and newly flashed and rooted, Very Many thanks to this site.

U guys see this?

Not surprising, as there are already apps out that work in a windowed fashion, the OverSkreen browser app is a good example.
I saw YouTube videos of it working on the gnote 2 and it looked sweet. It would be nice to have. There's a gnote 2 rom available in the dev section but apparently it still needs some work.

Yeah I saw that one too. Serenity I think it's called. I was on my way to downloading it, but he links you to his website where it was impossible to find the Lite version (stripped of all bloat) through the crappy background and text... Would love to have this feature though!
As far as I can tell, it is not in the JB update (FreeGS3).
Useless post #4 iirc
Just so you know, in market there's an app called floating browser that pops up a Window with a decent browser. Made by same dev that created super video, which gives u pop up floating video player (which works with YouTube, btw). They're both really sweet and free.

Hmm, I think the world might just end in December. Microsoft windows is going away from windows with their "Metro" GUI, and Android is going towards windows with this.
I hear the headphone jack will be on the bottom.

Lol, that's funny. Although the feature is more eye candy than useful, I thought I'd point out how I greatly increased the utility of the pop up browser. If you're using aokp u can create a nav button that'll launch the browser. Now, regardless of what app I'm in, I can launch my browser to look something up without exiting my app. Some launchers also allow you to assign certain functions to the hardware keys so you can have the same function on another rom. But aokp rocks anyway. Just my 2 cents.

No the world won't necessarily end then. But we will have encounter with the Lords of the stars. 6 more years will pass before the start of the 13 heavens, as December 21, 2012 markets the end of the 9 Hells. Water of truth poured from snake, moon and Sun will give rise to a new Earth after it rises from the ashes of the previous one. There will be survivors. Beware bearers of false gifts, and broken promises. There is much pain but still time left. Believe there is good out there. The conduit is closing. Quote me for truth.
