Anyone know of any development of WP 7.5 mango to any android devices?
Mainly to the OneX or the optimus 2x (or any other if there is any)

I'm more interested in some kind of beta of Windows 8. Dual boot would be great.
Search for Windows 7 on Google Play and you have launcher that is as close you can get without actually using a Mango 7.5.
I guess it's not posibble.

This isn't possible because the Windows Phone 7 OS is not open like Android. It is locked down by Microsoft and therefore, can only be used by devices that Microsoft allows. If the OS were to be opened, then it might be able to run on the Incredible. The Incredible has better specs than most of the 1st gen Windows Phone 7 devices.

It was originally a wm device. So it was closed source to begin with. Wp7 is closed source. Nothing illegal there

I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. Are you asking that because the HD2 was a Windows Mobile device that it has benefits that other devices do not?

Oh okay. Yes, the HD2 is one of the most versatile devices in the sense of being able to run different OSes.

Ok. To my understanding the problem with running WP7 on any Sony Ericsson phone used to be the hardware not being able to handle the software. But, what about now? I compared the Sony Ericsson Arc S, and the Ion too the Nokia Lumia 7100, and the specs are near identical. The difference being something minuscule like direct uploads to YouTube. So I want to know if it's possible to put Mango on a Sony Ericsson, because I really like the WP7 interface, and even more so Zune, but I just hate the phones that Microsoft is putting out. I'm about 95% sure this is possible, but I would appreciate if someone could tell me how this can be done.
Hardware us good enough.
BUT the kernel etc is for Android, so WindowsPhone won't run.
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
Windows is not an open source OS! So it is not possible to port it for Arc or any other model. However, dual boot may be possible on Lumia 800.
cool
appreciate the info
And if you want the interface use these:
The Winphone 7 lookalike launcher
Windows Phone 7 / Zune themed media player for Android OS
But it does run on the HTC HD2.
Also Android is better imo

Yes, because the HTC HD2 has standard Windows and Android (open source) in addition.
It won't work in the opposite.

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.

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

Never, nunca, Jamais, aldrig, mai......:silly:
Personally it would be cool. But I didn't by an android to run windows. Its the same reason I sold my iPhone and bought android. I saw all the cool thing my wife could do with her phone. But I've read w8 phone is better then windows phone. It kinda like iPhone owners wanting to run android. If you want to run android on iPhone or w8 on android go buy that phone. If you can afford it of course.

I remember actually lusting after that phone, it had some very good specs for itself. It was probably why I ended up with an HTC, after going through an LG and a Samsung, ecspecially one that sported the classically divisive 'chin'.
Well hey, while the One V will never see most of those OS's, it might see the mobile variant of Ubuntu, with or without the camera...
