You want to put windows onto an android phone?
Virtually everyone that owns a Leo (HD2) has been trying to do the opposite since they got their handset.
In short. No
There are far too few interested for any chef to bother.
There are Windows Phone 7 themes and apps that can replicate the look.
If you get Launcher pro and pay for the extras then i recommend having a look at this

If anything it looks better than WP7
Also have a look in the market (from your phone) for windows phone android.
Its a work in progress app that will give you the awful blue tiles effect that you want.
There is also Zune Home, This looks like the older windows 6.5
Hope this helps (if it does hit the thanks button)

i know the topic is like 9 months old, but you might want to consider that a future is not written until someone takes it as a challenge and wupti you got phone7.5 on HD2
So, never say "No"

Indeed. of course the desire would end up "crap"

Unfortunately it would never happen mate. WP7 is closed source. Microsoft isn't too happy with people flashing it to the HD2 (leo) and that runs wm 6.5.
Anyhow android is so much better. But try metro or launcher7 on the market. There's free and pay for apps.
HTC Desire

Not a rom, but try "Launcher 7" from the market. It's a launcher that gives the look of WM7.
Not sure if it's any good, not tried it personally.

I'd be tempted to try and get a HD2 if I was interested in WP7 - because of the ability to run WM6.5/WP7/Android/Windows98/etc.
I can't see it coming to the Desire anytime soon - as already said - lack of interest to port something that will be very difficult

I don't like the WP7 launchers. Want one? Then get a WP7 phone. or the hd2 as that beast does near enough anything. Except ios and palms software ofcourse ;-)
HTC Desire

I know this is an old thread but I did not feel like opening a new one for a question that's already asked.
So the question is: Can WP7 run on a HTC Desire. While it would be difficult to do, i'm absolutely sure that someone would be able to do it. Why?
1: HTC HD2. It can run Android, it can run WP7. This makes the point "WP7 is closed source so it's not possible" invalid.
2: Somebody made Ubuntu run on a HTC Desire. also there is a lot of information on the bootloader of Android devices and I'm sure there is some info on the Windows Mobile/Phone bootloaders.
3: Android 4 ICS is already running on the HTC Desire with Hardware Acceleration, even though the drivers needed are not published by the maker (Quallcomm if I remember). This either means that someone is doing extra work of making existing drivers work or that someone is actually making th new drivers.
4: HTC uses the same kind of chips for their whole lineup. Take for example the HTC Mozart:
CPU: Qualcomm QSD8250
Memory: 576 MB RAM; 512 MB ROM
GPU: Adreno 200
Resolution: 800x480
Those are 4 of the most important parts of any phone that may cause problems because of drivers. Also the HTC Trophy and HTC Radar have the same camera resolution as the one in the HTC Desire, so they may be the same.
All in all, I think it should be possible to port WP7 to the Desire. Main problem would be to find someone that actually cares enough to put lots of time in it and also knows the details on both Android and WP7.
Other main problem is that WP7 is closed source, which would make the developers process take a lot longer, discouraging devs even more to try it.
So let me know how your (educated!!!) views are on this subject.

I got HTC Desire, but I dont like Android. Still no chance flash it to WP7 ?

Ehh I'm waiting for wp7 too. Know that feel Bros.

I've just upgraded to a Sensation, have my desire lying around and I wanted to know the same thing... Looking back at it now its sluggish on my ROM. I fancy trying wp7 but there don't seem to be any ROM's around still. I think that with a bit of tweaking for the desire it would be cool... We just need a chef to cook something like this up... Please, if anyone has the skills...

[Q] Honeycomb on Kaiser

Hey guys, i just read an article about succesful porting Honeycomb into G1 and also to HTC Wilfire. So i was wondering, is it possible to port Honeycomb into Kaiser because Wildfire has similar specification. Thx for answers

I'd rather port the next version of android made for smart phones. Getting Honeycomb to run even close to well on our phones would be asking a bit much i think.

I don't want anybody to do it. I was just asking if is it possible. So thanks for replying

I'd say it'd be possible, especially if someone has already sorted some 320x240 overlays for the wildfire. It'd be dog slow though i'd imagine and probably a bit difficult to use on a small screen.

I don't even think it would be possible.
Just because of RAM. There wouldn't be enough. Perhaps resizing and compressing textures and such for the small screen would decrease the payload.. but even still.

Just a suggestion, we need to do more on bringing a stable gingerbread on to Kaiser. Still it needs work regarding stability on wifi/gps and also the camera. Honeycomb maybe considered as resource intense imo.

[Q] which phone to follow the desire?

hi all,
just wondering ....
which phone will you be picking up to replace your desire?
the desire has been the ?best? supported android phone during the days of eclair and froyo, then gingerbread (not enough resources to run the phone??? -wrong) and now ICS (i've been running sandvolds ICS beta for a month and it rocks, so smooth but now definately limited by hardware (NFC, no HWA support etc)).
However, times change and no piece of technology can last forever.
Which android phone will take over from the desire in being the next best option? WHich one has the most dev support, which one has the best hardware.
I know thousands of people will be nearing the end of their contract for their Desire. What will you pick up and why?

Well according to this other thread here, there is still no decent replacement for Desire so there.

damn,
you got me.
the desire is the only phone i will use for the rest of my life.
...could be worse i guess

It looks Sony is trying to turn things around with their smartphone lineup this year. But I'm not yet convinced but being a Sony Ericsson fan before I hope they would play it good this time.

I am also thinking my next phone will be the Sony Experia S I have been reading good things about it. Sony also seems to allow the bootloaders to be unlocked with out issue nowadays so hopefully there will be some nice custom ROMs. Just can't decide on the color white or black...

Moving to Q&A

As in terms of rom development.
You could take the Desire HD, with the upcoming announcement of ICS coming to that one and the Desire S.
(I would take the Desire HD, when my Desire is up for replacement)
Also by taking several looks at the rom development section of the DHD.
I think it wouldn't be a bad choice to go with.
As in a completely new phone, with hopefully a good rom development, i would wait for the SGS III

About to upgrade from Desire to One X...

Seeing all the negative posts, am I making the right move? Is the Galaxy S3 really going to be that much better?
Would anyone recommend rooting the One X and using Cyanogen from the start?

I don't think that it will be much better than the One X.I've read enough forums and i saw that the SII had his share of problems when it was launched,so,i don't think that the SIII won't have any problems.

This phone does not have any issues, that stop it from working. I made the same move from desire to one x (my desire was on the verge of self destruct) and love it. I dont think the SIII will be necessarily any better, I have also found htc devices have a great bunch of devs working on them. Therefore those guys can fix most of any software issues

Yeah,most of them are software issues which can be fixed,if not by HTC by the awsome dev's that are here on XDA.

Well, I'm glad I made the switch to the HTC One X. It rules!
