[Q] Get windows 6.5 rom on incredible?

I own an HD2 and loved the windows 6.5 format, now im looking at the incredible due to a change in service provider and wonder if I could put a windows rom on the incredible even though its running android. I know on the HD2 which ran windows, you could put an android rom so im wondering if it works the other way around. I have tried searching the forums and have yet to find anything that can give me a definite answer if i can or cant.
thanks in advance guys

As far as I know it has not been done on any android phone to date...
Correct me if I'm wrong...

Why? Have you ever used android? There is a very good reason it hasn't been done...once you switch you'll never want to go back.

wtf? Them are fightin words!

This will probably never happen.
Android is open source. So a conversion is more likely to move towards open source than a proprietary OS.
What you want may not be impossible, I think the community to drive towards proprietary OSes will be too small for success.

It'd probably never work right anyway... Even if you could find an image of WinMo compiled for the processor, driver issues would be everywhere. It's very unlikely that these would be something which could be corrected.

+1 Exactly, no one really wanted windows over android so everyone just ports android onto windows phones.

I agree that it hasn't been done because Android is so much better, but there are things I miss from Windows that just worked better. Mainly connecting to my VPN and using remote desktop. It just worked so flawlessly on Windows (and why shouldn't it, its the same company I know) and Android is being difficult with it. Plus there aren't any remote desktop programs that are free that is as good as the one that came stock on the windows phone.

Honeycomb 3.0

Hi,
Attached is a build of Honeycomb for DesireHD, I managed to find this by browsing the net and take no credit for creating it whatsoever.
I'm hoping one of our more clever members can do what needs doing with this to make it work on our beloved HD2.
Thanks.
http://www.multiupload.com/DLJ46IG55Q

Nobody is interested? Or is it a fake? Can anybody (with the right skills and tools) check this please.

???
Are you serious ?! someone can verify that build or can you make some screenshots ?

Could be, but dont know if his link is trusted.

Also wrong section.

honeycomb is not really made for phones as I understand?

Yes that's what i read
but hey
DFT can make it a reality as usual XD

If you check the link in my post, ist already ported and working.
There is a video there to, its a Dutch site though.

Yes its ported to EVO & is working..!!!
PS: - I haven't tried yet though
The LINK
[ROM-DEV] ||Honeycomb on EVO||Alpha||SpyderComb||Honeycomb Android 3.0||2/17/2011||
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957842

It is a genuine link, I haven't tested because I don't have a desire, I have seen video footage of it running from the same source and I have inspected the file which looks about right to me, just needs correct drivers and repackaging I believe. If only I knew how to do the repackaging and which driver files were needed I would do it myself.
Yup this is built for tablets and not phones but there are a few tablets with screens not much bigger than our hd2's. It may not even be practical for daily use but I'd love to have a play. : )

May be we can have a working one on our HD2's, can't say, DFT & the cheifs here ROCK..!!!
I like the lock screen & the home screen, it a really an evolution from the older Android Versions..!!!
So hope we get a working port pretty soon..!!!

here's a video for DesireHD release..

I know that mdeejay or one of the other devs on here could get it working in no time, I just don't have the knowledge, fingers crossed.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

the expert cooks should be working to port it to the archos tablets

Booted it on my HD2, but... it lags, nearly nothing works by now etc, and it's hard to hit interface buttons... not sure this will be really useful, but I'll try to work on it
Don't ask for upload please...

Can someone point me in the direction for a tutorial for creating clockwork mod roms please?

this would be probably better suited for viewsonic g tablet

Probably, would still be fun to play with on my phone though.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I haven't had any fun
Nothing really works, sdcard mount, wifi, radio, bluetooth, etc etc, even some buttons are not properly mapped, so i couldn't turn the screen off, i haven't took a closer look though.
Default launcher, and some interface parts lag SO much
But this will really take time, cause everything should be fixed, and cause it's still preview SDK - not really worth it.

Getting a new error when opening browser after like 5 seconds it closes w/o force close. I looked in alogcat and it showed process 3048 browser started then after a couple line it showed process 3048 terminated by signal(11)

Badass!!! Can't wait to try this! Definitely one of the best LOOKING roms i ever seen!

Working pretty well....
Launcher is a little choppy...but seriously! Cant complain! Love the UI animations though!

Definitely looks spectacular, I'll probably try it out and get back. Hope you get the WiFi and such worked out, will post back after test running

ok - not to be a **** or anything but this begs the question:
Why do you WANT blur on your phone? Everyone i know with a blurred motorola phone struggles to make it blurless and wants to remove that crap as much as possible - it is a serious detriment to performance and battery life.

A bit of variety, perhaps?

yea im aware of the many issues, i still have alot of work left with this rom, about landscape mode it should be working just fine even with the keyboard out, also the browser im not sure as i havent fixed wifi so i cant use the internet on the rom. And yes i figured gps was not working again iv got no internet so i have no way of fixing that, i need wifi for that XD. anyways im glad you guys like it.

Because this version of blur is different from the others and better, and well because we on the g2 forums deserve variety, other than the 3 classic roms, sense,cm7 or miui. And no i dont think this rom will drain that much battery or affect performance, our gpu's beats the crap out of the omap that the droids have.

Also found that when calling someone it will restart the phone and it will keep you on the call till the os finishes reloading.

i'm guessing this is based on the Droid X GB leak - the blur is different than the blur on 2.2? My girlfriend was running stock 2.2 on the DX and getitng like 12 hrs of battery life. Then running Liberty 2.1 (blurless 2.2 based) she was getting 24 hours +. I flashed her over to the Liberty GB alphas (has a lot of blur in it) and have yet to see how the batt life is.
What i do know is that if you look @ running services (on the DX Liberty GB) and use an app like autostarts to see the on startup apps - blur has a whole ton of blur stuff that runs in the background from startup on - unrelated to ui changes and widgets.
What i fail to understand is not manufacturer ui (which differentiates) but why it has to be baked in so deep into the OS and kernel that it makes it impossible to remove if - god forbid - you want a more stock experience.
I have a lot of respect for any dev who brings more variety and software choice for our phones and i dont mean to undermine his work. I guess i just get pissed that companies like motorola make it so hard to go stock (particularly mess with that damned bootloader) that they would rather u ruin your device (i soft bricked my gf's droid x once and the only way to get back to stock is a complete SBF flash - a rare turn of events that i've never had the displeasure of running into on an HTC phone).
On a related note to this ROM, i noticed on Liberty GB (but not on Liberty 2.x) you can remove stuff from the notification area because there is a minus button (ie you dont have to clear all notifications or click on the notification itself to clear it - there is a button that enables its removal). Is this part of blur? I'd love to see this ported to AOSP.

[Q] Windows Phone 7 ROM???

Hey, man i am on a posting ROLL this week , but hey im in the rom creator mood, i was wondering if the community would be interested in a windows phone 7 rom? I am also making other ROMs (Spark Sensation and Touch Sensation, both BETA) and figured what the heck why not try! So, all comments and questions are welcome! Thanks in advance!
(Edit: June 11, 2011)
Major issue on developement! My PC has a horrible virus and ate through my system, therefore, developement is haulted, I apologize for the inconvienience!

like a real windows phone 7 rom or just themed? a real one would be great haha

Standalone
Standalone ROM dude, with the zune like player, contacts, UI, etc. I am going to try an make it as Windows-Phone-7-ish as possible!!! Im going to call it Android's Window 7.1 ! and as i make major updates it will go up to 7.2 , 7.3, etc.! but thanks for your input! really needed it!

that, good sir, would be EPIC!

Even if people didn't want it... I'd say why not!
Do it for science!
...
But people do want it.
...So do it anyways!

Would be cool to have it launched from an sdcard, the way windows mobile devices could lauch Android. Although dual boot with flashed to /system WP7 would be also great.
I know there's a way to install Ubuntu or other Arm Linux on Android phone, but unfortunately it didn't work on mine

Would really help my wife out after she came to Android from using Windows Mobile for a loooong time.

Great, workin on it now and open to all who want to try! Also I am putting up a website soon (its already up but there is pretty much nothin on it - bfgdevelopers.webs.com) the only thing I have to do is find a way to sign it (tried zipsigner 2 and signapktic from the market but the rom won't flash after signing (shakin my head) ) so be looking for it on here and on the site! Thx for the support guys

I'm actually pretty stoked to see how this turns out! I kinda didn't think it was possible, haha.

I would use it... that would be sick, props to u if u make it work

I'd try it out if you got it to work. Now, are you talking about a version of Windows Phone 7 ported to the Slide? Or just android with a windows phone 7 skin?

i would def be down to try it. sounds really neat. i use launcher7 occasionally but it tends to get laggy. also, one thing i dont like about wp7 launchers in general is they tend to use list view for the app drawer which is super annoying when you have 30 or more apps.

ICS Video camera

Quick question - now that the photo camera on ICS for Desire Z is mostly working, would it be hard to get it to make movies?
I have no idea how hard this is to do. Just asking

You'd have to write the code.

I am not a developer, but I am certain that, yes, this is a very hard thing to do and I really haven't read anything about progress in this regard, since zbuw came up with the initial workaround to get the camera partially working.
The main problem still seems to be that, so much code has changed in ICS that we basically need new drivers from htc or qualcomm in order to get it fully working. I expect that we won't see full camera functionality until a leak comes up from which we can extract the drivers (I don't know enough about the similarities of other devices, hardware-wise, to guess on how likely this is.

That's normally fair game but you're replying to someone who can't even post in the dev section yet, don't make him download backup wipe flash discover it isn't working then restore.. no, to the best of my knowledge (having just tested it and seen it reported elsewhere) recording does not work at this time (unless some wild development has happened in the past couple days).

thanks. I will give that a shot. I kinda need video recording working from time to time, so it will be painful running ROM without it ... is that true that none of ICS ROMs have the video camera working (just pic taking)?

From everything I have read either here or CM, what I believe they are waiting on is drivers from either HTC or Qualcom to further develop the camera. I believe they have it working somewhat. I am NOT a dev by any stretch just passing along what I have read.
Hope this helps

Yes this is true, and even picture taking is iffy at best (you have to install third party app and most people can only take non-buggy pictures at VGA (really low) quality)
If you need video recording AT ALL do not use ICS yet.

thanks guys, those statements change the ground. in fact I will wait a little longer until those drivers get released and developers can fix camera issues.
I use camera for pics often and videos occasionally, so I wouldn't like a phone like that at all.
also, what does it mean that GPS is "kinda" working now (Andromadus v10), it's broken or not?
I use Google Navigation frequently whenever I get lost or traveling to current closest (unknown) chain store location and such ... and I kinda rely on that ... I guess I need to wait for a beta ROM, alphas are not for me yet.
