Well bechause it's not worth the effort pal, Android and IOS are the most flexible and best mobile operating systems to this day, it would be like downgrading, what would be next porting symbian?
There is a Windows 8 launcher available in the play store...
There might be some themes for this too, idk.
Windows Phone is just... bad... But not as bad as Sybian...

OOO you are totally right, I had a nokia x6 16gb before the Gio and Iv wasent satisfied with it, what goog is it to have a good camera or stereo speakers if there isen't any social suport if the ram is to bad managed and if the whole OS is not finger friendly...anyway windows phones by HTC and Nokia have nicley colored bodyes but with android it's all about the colores inside.....So pleace be happy with the android look, it's the best in the world
The symbian story is kinda funny, look it up on Wikipedia.
When nokia bosses were discussing to stop symbian dev(cuz it failed so badly), all developers quit themselves and got hired by one of nokia concurrents!
What a fail right?

I would just say, Microsoft is not experienced in doing such things. A little patience is required and Microsoft (maybe) will be also a developer of good phone soft. But until then, nothing will be better than android on the phones
But if you want to use it though: With a little experience of using mods and the connected apps, you will get an interface looking as nice as WP 8s.
But I can tell you: To get used to it is very difficult. I removed all the stuff, let's say a week after

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.

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 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

I'm new member in this site and i want to know if possible to port other OS to work perfectly on xperia arc s
got bored from android and battary drain :crying:
In theory, it's possible but not feasible. You can run IOS on an Android phone but it won't work perfectly. Likewise if you tried to run Android on an IPhone, it's possible but not perfect. Rather than asking for a port of another OS, find ways to personalize your Android experience and solve the battery drain. If you are still bored or can't be bothered, I suggest you buy an IPhone.

That's not true, as long as the OS is based on a linux kernel and has the ability to build from source with drivers it should'nt be much of a issue.

I proposed a solution for his battery issues. As for the rest, we must have someone with good programming skills wanting to port the os. It is possible.

Yes, I said it was possible, but not everything is served to you on a silver platter. You can build from source, but drivers are
still a big problem that stops the ported OS from working perfectly.

LOL. Kinda mean ^^^^
But yeah....windows is for windows phones. At least its not for the t989.
So the simple answer to your question is no.
Also, if there was, it would be warez (illegal) and not allowed on xda, cause windows is not open sourced.

No. There are no windows roms for this phone because simply it would take a HUGE amount of work just to get it to boot and also i don't see any point in it. Windows OS has like no apps compared to android....
Hello, I will like to know if there is any android 4.4.x rom for the xperia S/SL that has the HDMI output working as well both cameras, until now I had tried Paranoid android beta 4 and Carbon the first one works flawless but has no HDMI and the second one is given me a blurry and bad signal trough the HDMI output.
Before keep installing a reinstalling roms I will like to hear any advice about any stable 4.4.X rom out there or at least any rom with HD camera recording, 3d graphic and HDMI output working.
Thank you.
We are on the same page bro. Been looking for that too.
And maybe any rom that has the radio drivers installed. cant believe now that i don hav that i actually want to use it
HDMI and FM radio, as well as many other features depend on the chipset OEM (Qualcomm) drivers. They offer support up to some Android version (last stock JB?), but AFAIK KitKat is not and will never be supported. They could also open the source code/spec for the drivers, which will enable the community to fix those issues, but I seriously doubt they will even consider it.

Sad but hey the google nexus 5 also has a snapdragon inside, that means there will be no future support for the nexus 5? I doubt that, there must be a way to get us those drivers.
Can I ask why the drivers are so important?? Why they cant be ported or rewritten by some dev? Like the drivers on linux, all are free and open, wtirren by devs and users. Is it impossible to write a driver for a snapdragon?
Sorry for my questions, im a noob

It is not impossible.
What devs COULD do is reverse engineer the drivers from 4.1.2 to 4.4 or whatever, but that would be REALLY hard, and take a LOT of time and tries. It simply does not worth the process.
But I think HDMI and FM Radio should come from Sony, not Qualcomm, not sure.

well, so there wasour hope ;d. I bet sony already forgot that they ever made Xperia S... Thay are making so many phones now... thats just crazy, if some1 buy flagship sony just after 2-3 months he had 2nd best of their models. thats insane. They havent even made kitkat for most of their current "flagships" yet. Xperia s [*].
BTW. Love u xda Devs, you are a little star that gives us hope to use nice phone even more efficient and cool than before .
PS. God i hate that 10post req for responding in dev-s threads... i have so many questions about my pureslim kitkat ;/.
I am tempted into sell my phone to buy a new one, but is so sad because I think Xperias in general have a pretty good hardware, my next phone will be a nexus or who knows... Maybe I will end up selling my soul to Apple at least they have longer support for any older phone...
The thing is I love to hack my phones that's why I got an Android in first place.
