I know Android is better (I am running the CM7 nightly), but I thought it might be nice if we could get some sort of actual ROM for the D. Inc. that was WP7.
Not a dev, but I don't think that is possible. You can get home replacements that replicate it, but you're pretty much stuck with android on your incredible. There was a project to port webOS over to the desire, but that had pretty much hit a dead end the last time that I checked.
I would love to see how wp7 works on our device too. Just read hd2 has dual boot android and wp7 roms running. Port maybe? If nothing, to satisfy curiosities and to have another rom to show off?
P. S. My sig is indicative of how I look at roms...

I know a poster from another forum who has a HD2 running android. Would be nice if we could run wp7.
I know. I'm kind of a ROM whore too, but I tend to end up with CM7 nightlies simply because it's the fastest unskinned gingerbread build out there for the Inc.

This may be in the wrong section, but why do you gotta be so harsh about it? Take one of your chill pills bro. although very unlikely, you never know if someone with the ability will try to bring something like wp7 to our device.

The reason that they have Android running on Windows devices is because they know that Android kicks ass. They all want to be like us. I'm going to get an iPhone...when they get Android running on it. LOL

Even though what you are asking my require "development", it is in fact, not development in itself and therefore it belongs in "q and a". I mean think about it, you even put [q] in your thread title.
It is much easier to get android running on a non-Android native phone because Android's code is open sourced whereas WP7 or webOS is not. Thus making it much more difficult if not impossible to port to our devices.
you know what i find funny?? we all say that our phone and XX OS is so much better than all others (Ios, Android, WP7...) but then we go and try to make our Android look like WP7 with home replacements, or ROMs like MIUI for the IPhone crowd...
I had Anroid eclair running on my HTC Touch Pro so I to am guilty of it, I just think it is funny.

#1 This is in the wrong section, and don't try to play dumb about it, you have a Q in your thread title, stating its a question.
To the above quote, they already have android running on the iPhone - http://linuxoniphone.blogspot.com/2010/04/ive-been-working-on-this-quietly-in.html
i was so harsh because the OP didnt even try a search to read the other 20 threads about putting WP7 on our device
I do believe putting windows on a non windows phone is a violation on some law.. yadda yadda
android is open source thats why its so widley available
The HD2 was MEANT for WP7 but Microsoft didnt release in time and The HD2 is windows native so thats why they could port it
Seems like W7 is a few steps behind Android anyways, so....wouldn't touch it, unless it was just from curiosity.
Since the HD2 carries pretty much the same specs as our phone in terms of processor and it can run Android as well as WP7 then what I am trying to ask is what's the limitation on our phone? Besides our radio being CDMA instead of GSM.
Wait til verizon has the htc trophy (wp7. Soon.) Party with colored blocks. Return for android again.Buy a zune. Be thankful.

why? its alreadly ported to HD2 and there are no licensing issues (i think)
I'd love to see a WP7 ROM... Actually I like flashing ROMS so I bought this device thinking that the WP7 ROM will be ported. Chose it over the HD2 because of its size and display actually and thought that it has basically the same possibilities when it comes to flashing all kinds of ROMS.. A bit disappointed but hey - I would probably just try the WP7 ROM and then come back to Android anyway.
lol i'd love to see that too actually also an ios port if possible. I mean nowadays where flashing roms has become so easy and fast I would just love the freak people out having a phone there and basically switching between android WP7 and Ios

Still doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. Windows requires the handset to be licensed as Windows needs to be activated - same as on a PC
It'll be technically illegal to run WP7 on anything other than a WP7 handset. Besides, the Desire would need new drivers written from scratch to work
with HD2 being a windows mobile originally would this cover windows phone perhaps?
as desire is an android phone - then thats where you'll probably hit the issues

You dont seem to understand how things work, just like on a pc, the operating system need an enviroment to boot from, this is called the bootloader, during the initial boot phaze alot is going on, mainly the initalization of hardware, now our bootloader is not compatible with WP7, it would be like using linux to try and boot windows.... so for WP7 to even boot a whole new bootloader, and hardware drivers must be written. Problem two is the radio, the desire radio was written with the android open source project in mind, it would not be compatible with WP7, so a new radio would have to be written. Problem 3. The nand chip uses an EXT file system on the desire, WP7 uses NTFS, so a tool would have to be written to format the nand chip.... and finally as has been said before, without buying a WP7 licence it would be piracy, amd XDA would almost certainly have to deal with retaliation from microsoft.

Are you looking for a thrill chill?
WM6.5 would make more sense with SD Card support and retro apps that have much more usefulness.
How would one get past the DRM that’s gives Willy Peeon access to all the content on ones device?
I would rather see a dual boot Android/WM 6.5....
Maybe start with the Fathom V7 ROM and just fix the data drop issue.
Then stick it in the face of that little dictator**** wanabe website LGforum that will ban you for telling it like it is.
If I could just get past decompiling the .wdb file...
The rest is just engineered obsolescence of the Fathom.
Your ROM help those who would consider trying that type of OS.
More power to you..
Lmao. I don't have to do this... I was just trying to please the two pm's I got... If u don't like my rom, simply don't use it. Im not a well knowledged dev, but I do try.

Hey,
I apologize.
I didn't mean to dis anyone or their hard work.
If you found a way to make it work then that's a whole nother story.
That sounds like something I might just try out in my spare time.
I just thought that with the internal memory limitations of the DInc II and the restriction of WP7 to not allow the use of an SD Card, there wouldn’t be much room to load programs. Kind of like the AndrOmnia project...
I do appreciate the work of just about all of the devs that I have read about.
I didn’t know that it was actually a work in progress.
And that wanabe website I was referring to is the LGforum that could be if it were controlled by someone other than North Korea.
Keep up the great work…
Yehp.. It's still beta... what dows LG forums have to do with this? The rom should be out of beta next week sometime.. IM releasing the blurless version tomorrow"pretty much blurless" I just have a couple more things I need to take care of on x2 side before I can start on this.

well unless someone is willing to do it, i dont know what this poll even accomplishes. I'm under the impression that porting a different OS takes a lot more skill than making a native rom, otherwise the HD2 wouldn't be the only phone with 9000 different operating systems.
I vote yes, more roms are always awesome.

Been a long time android user. Love the customization of the OS, but its always fun to try something new! I know there have been a lot of people asking this on other device threads. Honestly, the E4GT could run WP7 like a champ. Plus, it would be great to have the option and be free to run what you want. Thats what XDA is for isn't it? Anyone give this a shot yet?

I see your an ACS member? If so, I just want to say thanks for all y'alls work on the original Epic in the Syndicate Frozen rome. They were my first dip into rooming and rooting. QBking77's tutorials really helped me learn. Thanks for all the help!
Back to the topic. Is there any way to install Windows Phone 7 onto the Epic Touch? I know for a fact that the E4GT can easily run it with the specs it has. Why not try and pull WP7 off of another Samsung WP7 device. Maybe that could be a starting point? I'm not a developer, but theres gotta be more people out there who want this to happen or are at least interested.

Like someone already said.. this would be considered illegal since WP7 is not opensource like Android.. It would also be extremely difficult (don't want to say impossible), considering the source is not available and the drivers most likely being incompatible.
This is the closest you'll get to it:

Ah. Makes sense. It is like Microsoft to screw up something with great potential by locking it down. Oh well... I'll just ask this since theres already a few people in here to seem to know their stuff. What rom would you recommend for the E4GT?

Now that you can go back to full stock, give them all a try. Everything is done exactly the same as on the Epic so it should be easy for you. Which is best is impossible to say. As you probably know from the Epic, some ROMs just work better on one phone than they may on another even though they are the same. That's part of the mystery of these Sammy phones

Maybe, it is possible?
Guess it can be done. Not at this moment though. Few years ago when Steve Jobs introduced Intel processors in macs, a new unofficial project was started known as Hackintosh. What it does is it simply asks the user to make a prototype of a certain version of a Mac and then installs Mac OS X using some custom bootloaders. I have done it in my machine.
Well, if we can find a phone exactly same as that of any WP phone, then it MAYBE possible, 'cause that'll (maybe ) discard the need for new drivers. Plus, its the world of piracy :laugh: :laugh: unless, you want to go sell your device or patent it, it should be perfectly alright to pirate WP (On your own risk though, IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED )

So, friends, as you already know from the web sources, SONY is not going to publish Jelly Bean until Spring, so lets just experiment, as you also know Windows 8 can be easily ported to any ARM device, so as our Sony XPERIA S is ARM Arcitechture based, lets find a way on how to install Windows 8. Just agree that SONY's HD screen and Windows 8 Metro Style, and stuff will look amazing on our HD screens, and Xperia S also fits Windows 8 Square style. Guys lets make this topic live, I really wanna see Windows on Xperia : ((

Is it me, or are some people confusing things?
1) Isn't the OP referring to "WINDOWS 8" as in Windows for PC?
2) From my understanding "Windows 8" is only for X86 architecture...........
3) Then there is Windows "Phone 8"....which some others are confusing things further with.
4) Then there is Windows "RT" for ARM-based processors..........that the Microsoft SURFACE runs............RT being something between "Phone 8, and Windows 8........but not really the same as either one. RT cannot run Windows desktop apps that Microsoft has not certified
IMO, if an RT port cannot be configured to run all of the wireless hardware and camera , GPS , BT , sound devices, on an Android phone..............while a nice and fast, stable Android version can run everything..........I personally don't see the use for porting any RT or Phone 8.
Nah you don't get it .Listen,all we want is to see windows 8 on our phone,because:
1)I like metro ui,my personall opinion,sometimes metro seems much more beatiful than any android ui...And no,launchers can't replace it
2)Why would I spend money on the phone I actually don't want,just because it has win8...Not a good reason to spend my money honestly
3)And aren't you a little bit curios what can you do with your phone?Just a little bit?I saw people are putting,Windows real pc Windows on their mobiles...Yesterday i saw Ubuntu has officially released their same OS for phones with multi-cores that is running on pc's.Android after all gives you freedom up to some point,and all I want is to find out where is that point To much to ask for?
Anything is possible, with time & effort. I had Windows 95 running on my X10 and had UBUNTU 12 on my LT28 Ion. Not very useful but still nice to know I can
Sent from my LT28
Exactly windows 95 is now free, ubuntu is free, and based on linux, just like Android, so its ok to run it on an Android Phone and no mather if you would like PC's Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8, it would be illegaly. But well, isnt it illegaly to modify phone, and trying to get it repaired by warranty, then lying you didnt modify it and it broke itself? anyway, it would be really good to have any of those Windows 8s on Xperia
