Windows Phone 7.5 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Is it possible to port a Windows Phone 7 or 7.5 ROM to our phone?

doubt it, it would be easier to sell your gs2 and buy a wp7 device.

No I don't want a pure windows phone...I just want to be able to try it out for a while and then switch back to ICS. But why wouldn't it be possible?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't mean just the launcher. I wanted like the entire ROM with the messaging app and phone app and all the other apps with the market. Guess that's too much to ask for huh? Lol

Not impossible, but extremely improbable. It would need to be completely reverse engineered. It's a closed system that would basically need to be entirely rewritten. WP7/7.5 was not written to support multi core phones or SD cards. Hence why WP8 is such a huge release, as it brings these capabilities on board.

Anything is possibly but more than likely won't happen. Buy a GS3.

I believe the same guy who pulled Flipboard apk said he'd pull s-voice and others off when he can. Then we'll see if it works. It probably won't though, but you never can tell.

I am really not understanding the logic behind this statement. There are already dev's committed to putting the GS3 stock ROM on the Gnex.

Good old touchwiz

Does anyone have a touch wiz ROM for Verizon galaxy nexus ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
This has been discussed a few times. I am near certain of it. It is extremely difficult but not impossible to port over a different UI to a phone. Whether you are talking Samsung Galaxy to Samsung Nexus or Sony to HTC. There are certain things in those phones that run the custom UI. Most projects get abandoned fairly quickly. Your best bet would be to flash a custom from like cm10 and find a theme for it. There are some launchers that can give you the feel of touchwiz. I am pretty sure I even stumbled across one in the themes/apps section.

Don't see why not?
We got sense running, not sure what Sony port but a Sony xperia rom, why not touchwiz? Alton, it was a port but it was half/half of touchwiz. Cm9/Touchwiz I looked at the framework etc way back when it first came to the incredible.
If we can't get a straight port why not do a half half?
Food for thought..

Don't wanna sound pushy but....is there a chance we will see this.

Heard about this today and definitely caught my eye. Still at least a year from a factory device but I did see that they will be planning on releasing this on the nexus and seeing as the s3 is one of the largest selling devices I can see the international version receiving this and hopefully our device
Will be keeping an eye on the development of this for sure.

Is already going to be released for the galaxy nexus and supposedly it will be available for any equivalent or better android phone at side point. Even if it isn't official I can see a developer porting this.

I'm sure we'll eventually be seeing it on the SIII
I would love to see this. Being able to dual boot Ubuntu and Android would be killer.

Yep, agree!! This would be awesome!
The interface seems really confusing and not very intuitive to me. Too many hidden docks.

Definitely giving this a try as soon as it's available on the gs3. I think once you get used to it you would never want to switch back. Looks like it makes great use of the screen.

Looks amazing, but seems sort of redundant. Why not just team with Google and implement this as a redesign for Android? Or implement it in a similar fashion to CM10.

Here is a more in depth look which shows you some flaws which were pointed out on another forum
"Seriously, no one wants to do that kind of multi-directional swipe. That ignores the fact that the guy demonstrating can't read the text under his finger. And if he used his left hand he wouldn't be able to see the icon."

Its not as if it's actually functional on the HD2. The dev behind it has indicated that he's not planning on working it for any other devices, as he'd rather see just the one halfway functional port rather than dozens of nonfunctional ones.

Because it sucks? It's just a tablet UI that looks like Windows 8 without the usefulness.

Nexus 7 OS on Galaxy tab 3?

Is it possible?
