May the gods of trolls pardon your soul. Eek! Word to advise, no, windows 8 from windows phone will not ever come to android. It is copy right protected/close source I believe.
Yeah no windows 8 will be coming to this phone
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
Want windows 8? Buy a windows 8 phone simple as that. Even if it was possible to port to any other devices it wouldn't be released on xda due to copyright infringement

Windows is closed source. Not worth the legal troubles
oh the humanity!
I must add, though, the greatest device ever was the hd2. It could boot any windows, android, hell, it had jelly bean before android devices did, and run Linux.
Maybe the genius is to big a windows phone, so you don't have to worry about closed source/proprietor, then boot android or whatever else from it.
Viva le hd2, you live among no others in greatness.

Forgive the OP, he didn't know.
Another noob question though, isn't sense closed source too? There was development for a sense-like rom not long ago for this phone..so that couldve been a legal mess, no?

Technically, we did get a build that boots and sorta works but had a lot of work to be done. It was a scam in the end.

Edit: Pressed send on accident.
There was Swamp Goblin who scammed the community into buying him an E4GT to port Sense which we did get a booting but broken port.
Then we had another developer that was making a Sense themed TW ROM, he then had to sell his E4GT to take his daughter to a doctor. As far as I know, he is still working on the theme but he cannot personally test it.

Even for experienced developers it's a pretty serious undertaking, you would have to write the drivers for the entire Rom.
It sounds like @ahmgsk_mod is gonna work on it after MIUI, but it's not even alpha yet. It says on his twitter

Hmm, yeah see... about that whole writing drivers thing... lol that would take a lot of time to learn. I mean midNight rom amazes me and I actually am starting to try other roms out to see what i like best. midNight is still my fave! And I definately support his cause. Next on my list is a custom splash that I would like to make myself.
EDIT: By the way, not saying i wouldnt want to learn how to write drivers, but I am FAR from being ready to dev.

Yes we get it. We don't have ICS while other devices enjoy a port. It's not the end of the world. This thread does nothing but add to the countless of pointless threads that have been created referring to our lack of ICS.

Yeah that's our Epic Touch. It had the touch buttons of the Nexus on the bottom and the radios didn't work, but it was cool to play around with. Flashed it on my phone for a few minutes before going back to Blazer. I'm still hoping we'll have a daily before the Nexus drops on Sprint, but I doubt it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
That's from when people were flashing the international port when it was unusable. With an international port ours should be fairly easy, MUCH easier if we had a leak like they do.

Doesn't mean anything whatsoever. These international leaks were for GSM SGS2's, which, last I looked, the Epictouch still isn't. Mine's still a CDMA phone, and there haven't been any leaks for a CDMA SGS2, so we're still where we are with that.
As far as devs go, what do you mean by they "went away"?
They're still "there", (it's not like they were killed by ET4G owners), and they (he) are/(is) still working on ICS: Just not here on XDA.
Btw, this IS another useless thread, in case anyone was on the fence about it....

Ah. I did not know that was the international leak ... thought it was early cm9

Great point. ICS will be great, however, there are currently so many great roms / themes out for the E4GT. Enjoy your phone and worry about ICS when and if it gets to our phone.

So is this Rom being worked on? I can't wait to try it out.
Someone can use my my port guide, in my signature, to try it out. Just find a HTC device that has the ROM. The mytouch 4g has it

I should have titled it self unlocking not legal, that was the point.
I had heard months ago from a apple case that deemed jail breaking legal when they tried suing someone for it.
Yeah...I'm not quite sure how the hell they're going to enforce a "no rooting" law
and wow, a tablet is a handheld gaming device? So my phone, which can play the same things as a tablet, isn't a gaming device?
It seems to be targeting apple products. And I don't see how this could apply to android phones, since they can't really say what we can or can't do to the operating system seeing as it is open source. Flashing it for use on a different carrier is different compared to flashing roms.
I just skimmed through the whole pdf and it doesn't look like they ever mention android specifically being effected, and the whole jailbreak/rooting thing seems to mostly target apple products.
