Yeah I saulte him also there's a bunch of asswholes on here...but excuse my going off topic there. Now I've been fallowing the windows phone 7 to android and I think its possible just really hard...then again I am not a dev because this is not coded in vb or c++...I think I will start but. Another year into coding is like uhhhg I need to finish highschool first I think

Asswholes . . . naw. If you think those responses are harsh, you haven't spent much time here. They were actually pretty gentle. The alleged "harsh" response not only answered the question, but told the OP how to get more information on the subject by using the search function.
It was proper for the previous post to point out the fact that the OP should follow this forum's rules and guidelines. There are clear forum guidelines on doing a search before posting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850273
The guidelines exist for a reason. Otherwise the forum would be overwhelmed with people asking the same questions over and over (making the forum completely useless), like:
How do I root?
What ROM is best?
Will WP7 be ported?
It took me about 30 seconds to find the following, using the search function:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928133
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856492
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846917
But to summarize, it wouldn't be IMPOSSIBLE per se. But it would be a huge effort, since there are no hardware drivers and WP7 is closed source.

Developer/Wannabe-Developer Q & A section/Google plus group

Taking into account the fact that the Desire section does not have a subforum within the Development section for questions on Rom/Android development, and the fact that questions within the General section are generally ignored by most developers, I thought of a thread to maintain a database of devs/senior members wanting to learn Rom development/discuss dev questions..
You can add yourself to the list by specifying in the following format:
Google plus link (as a gplus.to link, not email addresses), Dev/Wannabe-dev/Experienced user/Enduser (in your own opinion)
If the dev adds you too to his/her group, you'll be able to ask questions, and get answers related to devlopment..In addition I will be maintaining a Huddle/Hangout on the basis of this list, with live chat.. Guys, use it efficiently..No flooding please!
Mine first, gplus.to/droidzone
You can even ask questions related to development on this section, but dont expect quick answers, especially dont think that I'll always be answering either!
Thread rules:
Research your question (search google and xda) before asking.
Only questions related to actual development will be entertained.
Just because devs read this thread, if you ask silly questions already answered elsewhere, we'll permanently ignore your question
This is not for questions on issues related to a particular Rom. Ask those on the ROM's thread. If you dont have permissions to post it there, start your own Q/A thread

Developers list
The order in which names are listed is only on the basis of the order in which members have joined the group..
Droidzone gplus.to/droidzone
dan281082 gplus.to/dan281082

Fine..though not being able to discuss with a lot of others does rather defeat the purpose, doesnt it? Maybe you should have another gplus profile for the dev incarnation, like I do

Hey Terepin, what section should you have posted this question in?

This question isn't related to Desire.
Anyway, so basically 2.2.2 isn't more secure than 2.3.3, correct?

Ye it isn't. Also it would be kinda odd to introduce new security holes xD(kidding as there could be some by mistake of course).
I believe the reason 2.3 is usually mentioned regarding security issues is because it just proves that the hole is still present in the most recent software(as well as all older versions).

I dont know the specific of security holes. Generally each new version of any software fixes earlier issues but often as a result, newer issues ensue.
I would say 2.3.3 is more secure than 2.2 because more bugs and holes are fixed than introduced. If not they would roll back to the previous version.
I'd never go to anything below 2.3.4 though.

Why not post in Android q&a?
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App

I was thinking about that, but it feels right to ask Desire community.

Still wrong section.. If this was someone else posting you would have flamed the hell out of them..
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App

Did you saw me flaming out someone for posting question in General section? There are question which don't fit to Q&A section.

So when you don't post in the correct section its ok? But if someone else does it, its not ok? You said yourself its not desire related. In what sense does your question not fit Android q&a? Its probably the only section its relevant to. No?

What exactly is incorrect about asking Desire community?

By all means ask the desire community. It's a great community. But it's not related to the desire. My point is that I (and others) have seen you flame others for lesser trespasses. And did you search before asking? Surely the answer is out there somewhere. Your answer to many people's questions is to use search. Maybe you should take your own advice.

Which "lesser trespasses"?

Lesser trespass: failing to find answer through search, so asking the community.

[Q] Android Revolution - where is the "Premium Navigation"

Hello, I apologize in advance if I am just too dense, to find the answer myself, but after installing Android Revolution HD 7.0.4 by mike1986 I am unable to locate the "premium navigation". When I was running the HTC stock rom on my Desire Z I had bought an indefinite license for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The license is synced correctly as I can see in HTC locations, but the actual navigation app just doesn't seem to be there. At the same time I am offered a 30 day trial license, which cannot be activated ("no connection to license servers")
Am I overlooking something or is the "premium navigation not included in Android Revolution?
