Buy a HD2. Cheap to get. Almost the same hardware as the Desire HD and with WM6.5.
We can swap phones if you like? Your HD to me, my HD2 to you.

dual-boot with windows phone 7 and android would be nice but launcher7 is also good. is it possible to port windows phone 7 to dhd, if we have something like a serial key?
This question has been asked, and answered to death. IMHO if you cant figure out how to use search on a forum you probably couldn't install windows even if it where possible, which it isn't
Hi Guys,
The above poster is correct, this has been asked and answered many times previously but to put it in simple terms, the answer is no.
In order to boot Windows you require a Windows bootloader, which the DHD doesn't have. The HD2 on the other hand (which boots Windows by default) can also boot Android.
Check em out on Ebay, you can pick up handsets reasonably cheaply if you just want a unit to play with.
Cheers,
Jaybo

Why do you want to ruin a perfectly fine device? .
No because Windows Mobilie 6.5 is not open Source and cannot port to other Devieces. Sry
Sry for my english. I´m German
very bad
it means that i have to sell my desire when wp7 came... and then dual boot my new wp7 phone with android 3.0

That's because it is insanely stupid. What a retarded idea, wanting to port an out of date, inferior, dead OS to the Desire.
If you want similar functionality to WM6.5 I suggest you place your desire into a bowl of warm Cola
Its such a shame though that phone 7 devices will end up having android ported to them like the hd2 whereas we never will get phone 7 running on our androids! Still rather stick with android though!
Eph.
This has been asked a few times before, I suggest you search for the other threads.
Closing this thread as it will end up like the rest, with the OP being flamed to oblivion.

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455
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...

hey is there any chance that windows phone 7 will be ported to the htc desire?
It's already done for the htc hd2 and the hardware of the desire and hd2 are really similar to each other. Android is a really great os better than ios in my opinion and I don't want ios running on my desire else I would have bought an iphone in the first place, but anyway running windows phone 7 on my android device as a second os is what I think not bad isn't it?
I mean wp7 is smooth as hell and I would love to try wp7 out.
soo will there be a port of wp7 to the htc desire?
i feel sorry for you man. my prediction is you will be atacked by atleast 100 people
I was going to ask the same question. I'd really like to see WinPh 7 running on my Desire, possibly a dual boot hehe

lol I know what you mean xD but still if I had the knowledge to port it I would have done it even if the os isn't as good as android I sill would have because it has the abilty to run it so why not? (I mean hardware wise)
This has already been asked, infact it's currently on page 2 of this forum.
Thread closed.
Hello, it's possible that in near future I'll need some WP7 device for app testing/debugging. Desire and Mozart are quite similar in HW specs (like HD7 and HD2 where WP7 port exists). So my question is, can be WP7 ROM ported on Desire? even if phone features won't work... thanks
No. Few reasons. There is just no interest in WM being on the Desire. And even if someone did it they would have a battle on their hands with Microsoft. Also, the bootloader will be way way different and so on. So in a nutshell.... it is possible, but no one is stupid enough or not going to waste their time.
thanks for answer, then it seems I'll have to change Desire for some WP7 device
Are u jokin ?? Interchange ur Andro for WP ??

Did you read my first post? I've mentioned the reason there - application developement for WP7. And of course WP7 has good emulator (definitely better than Android, which is painfully slow), but sometimes it's just better or in some cases even needed to test on real device.

Boot Manager and WP7
maybe the Boot Manager could be the option. Only question is, how to create a bootable WP7 image...
it will be good
hd2 have already android roms but devs still working on wp7 roms i ll be the first user if someone going to relesa it..

I dont understand how you can effectively debug a wp7 application on "alien" hardware.
But anyway, its not been done before, you would be the first (as far as I know). You would need to make wp7 work on the desire yourself. You need to be a rom developer and an extremely experienced one at that.
rootSU: yes, I agree. It might sound weird, but I wanted to reuse my Desire (And I like the idea of dualboot, before Desire I had HTC Touch Pro with WinMo&Android). And I suppose that the biggest problem of WP7 would be bootloader...
I have seen the answers where people have said "why install wm6.5 on the htc wildfire" the answer is i really need to.

It is not possible ATM to do that.......this would probably need a lot of work since the WFS isnt meant to run WM6.5
I would rather pay money to the guy who brings WP7 to our tiny phones
