Is it possible to have a Galaxy nexus and dualboot it with windows 7.5?
Thanks
I'm not going to say anything is impossible... but no. Not easily at least.
Even if you could get it on there drivers would probably be a big issue. It would take a lot of development to get things working properly. You'd have a lot of obstacles to overcome as well such as the lack of physical buttons.
Good luck
The Q&A threads are to be posted here.
What the **** is Windows 7.5?

Nope.
Even if you somehow got it running it would still be illegal.
And to even try you would need the source code.
It simply won't happen.

WP7 is closed source. Not gonna happen.
Buy a Windows Phone
And I am willing to be op wants this just so he can show his friends and the only effort put into it was getting on the internet. Drivers, ram, code, and development would be only the smallest of obstacles if downloading and flashing it were your goals. The windows phone can be had over there.

I'll wait for windows 8. Windows phone 7 is just a temporary solution from microsoft to stop apple and android from dominating the market. No doubt it is decent but it's still in its infancy and doesn't have a lot of apps.

Yeah that sure worked out for Microsoft. They sure took away that 1% of market share. They should be proud.

yeah well they tried and failed. even the director of wp7 developtment admitted defeat a few months ago . Personally I think it is a very decent platform. I really like its elagant user interface but if I just wanted ui I would've stayed with ios.
The reason wp7 didn't take off was because it was too late and there was no demand for it, not because it sucked.
I have dual boot Mango and ICS on my HD2.
Believe me, WP7.5 has a beautiful layout and the best keyboard, but besides that it's way inferior when compared to Android and iOS. Very lame browser and the apps have less options. It's fun to play with for a day, but more than that you'll get really frustrated.

The HD2 is a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone that you can install Mango on and dual boot into Android since other Android phones are very similar to.

Adding to what he said, since the hd2 already had windows on it it allowed It to be easier to port it onto, I think test builds where also made for it too. And since android is open source it was easy to port over( not really but easy for a dev). You'd have better luck buying a windows phone and dual booting that with android

well today we supposedly got the JB update for our unbranded onex,we had to force the update while vodafone released it also for branded devices without having to force it.Given JB has been out since june then this is shocking really 6 months to release it on the same day as the networks to me is not acceptable,will think long and hard over my next phone purchase.Whats your views?

Enough people have groaned about this issue and it probably won't change, the mods closed the OTA thread on several occasions because of this and people were banned for flaming each other on XDA
I admit the timeframe sucked arse royally but this was covered plenty of times before
Also judging by the amount of new bases coming out of the maximus thread, they had alot to sort out
Thread closed
Pretty useless here. Please take your rants to HTC not xda.

Samsung did not promise anyone that u buy their handset and we will give free upgrades every now and then , do you get free upgrade from windows xp to windows 7 to windows 8 for free? NO it takes a lot time and money to develop , Samsung would not just update all the incremental updates google provides ...
We'll probably get it when they release it. Usually within a few hours.

Up to 18 months of releasing a set they are bound to give updates! Do you know that?
Samsung is definitely better than other brands atm, hTC, Sony etc, for providing faster updates, but that's a different thing.

The difference here is that those operating systems are things you actually have to buy, whereas android is free.
But back on topic: OP you barely even given them time to react. It takes a while to develop these things, so they take at least a couple of months to release. I mean, look at the galaxy s2 and its ICS release, that was their flagship phone for a while and even on that it took months for ics to be released on it.

You surely know nothing about One Alliance protocol followed by all the companies who use Android OS for their cell.
Its a guideline stated by Google that OEM must support a device that they bring out for 18 months since the time of release.
Now this is a very good guideline as it helps us sort good brands from stupid brands..for eg- motorola
Also google cant force any company to release updates. The company is at fault if it doesnt and they are responsible for getting a bad name then.

As a user who uses both Apple and Android (Samsung) devices, I find that this is still quite a major flaw for android phone manufacturers. My father still uses an iPhone 3GS and that is still receiving updates from Apple, nearly 4 years since it was released.
This is the first time i've heard of the "One Alliance protocol" so hopefully it's a step in the right direction.
Other than that, I'm sure users of older phones can hopefully flash custom roms of higher OS releases for their phone.
Sorry if i sound like a noob
4.2 was released 3+ months back. Currently my nexus 7 is running on 4.2.1 and this week would be 4.2.2 . Now then why is wrong to ask a question that samsung has not been keen on releasing 4.2 updates instead of stupid increments on 4.1.x which have been a major letdown.
Battery life has gone down from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 while i was expecting the opposite. 4.2 has much more refined codebase for battery and performance.
Now am I being unreasonable for asking the question?
Who would buy the s4 if note 2 had 4.2.2 already
They would update the note 2 two months after they sell 20 million s4
If you want 4.2 for the dash clock ... flash aokp or Cyanogenmod rom

Android OS upgrades are completely unrelated to what you just described about Windows. I purchase my windows and get updates free of charge throughout its product life cycle which stretches to even a decade. Going back to topic its Samsungs obligation to support its devices sold and keep them up to date atleast while the phone is relatively recent. Its what consumers want its why most people buy the latest phones. I bought my note 2 not because of its hardware alone, let alone its cheap build quality, but also because i expect to get the latest updates soon and not when its outdated.

I have 4.2.2 now what are you talking about?

I think we will get it soon. Google will release a newer version than 4.2.x and the new update we will first get it after they have released s4

Is it stable now?
"Update: This beta is not a usable build. Its similar to the Developer Preview i.e full of placeholder information. The only noticeable difference is that it seems to be a lot faster. Overall a very disappointing update for Ubuntu Touch."
Hells yeah, can't wait for voice and data to work.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it'll be so awesome to be on a platform without apps again, like Android in 2009!
Shouldn't have been labeled a Beta if not even the core apps have been finished yet.
From what the article says, this is just a faster running alpha build.
But what can you expect from Ubuntu these days... ever since they tried more & more to emulate Macs, the OS has seriously gone down the drain.
will it open source？

I agree 100%. A beta gives you all the core functionality without the stability and smoothness of the final product. Not software that can only be 'previewed' on the devices that it was intended for

Google delayed Key Lime Pie to give manufacturers more time to release 4.2.2. So I think we will get 4.2.2 first, then the Note 3 get KLP and after that we will get KLP.

That's AOSP based and not stock Touchwiz. Only the S4 has official 4.2.2 from Samsung
If you believe rumours we should be seeing 4.2.2 between now and the end of Q2.
If KLP was to be announced in Q3 then you won't see it 'till the new year most likely

I had some key lime pie last night. It was delicious! Jelly beans are way too sweet and totally inappropriate for a pudding, I'm not surprised you're feeling sick.
so I have to wait for another year for Key Lime Pie? That's two years on JB?! Android is no Windows XP, update it already. What a waste of time.. I think I am going back to Windows Mobile...

What?!? If anything, Apple's icon pack (AKA iOS7) should make Google and Samsung rest easy... :laugh:
It's really nothing more than an icon pack (ludicrous redesign BTW.. to think those clowns had the guts to mock Touchwiz's colors for being "toy-ish" LMFAO!!) plus the usual round of rip-offs from Android and Windows... They haven't fixed any of that piece of software crap's major handicaps.
Plus, it's just been previewed (and only on iPhones which makes me think they are pretty behind in development), it won't be available until this fall.
iOS is the WORST major mobile operating system around.

The phone works perfectly well!
I really don't get all the fuss about updates...
Sure, they are always welcome, but for today there isn't a single thing that REALLY NEEDS to be updated with this phone. If you want "magical new features" that actually had already existed for a long time in other devices, go get an iphone. You will get one or two "major" updates every year, guaranteed!
