Hey guys,
a friend of mine who has the Galaxy W recently asked me if he could get Windows Phone 8 on it. I searched through xda and google a bit, but I couldn't find anything expedient. So I thought I'd just ask... Does anyone know something that could help me? Maybe also about Windows Phone 7, I think I could content my friend with that for a while...
It's not possible

I think it's impossible for our phone to get Windows phone 8, ever... Our phones are run on android platform and it's hardware is made specially for Android Platform. But if you want to something spice up your phone with Windows phone 8 look and feel, you can install windows 8 launcher or launcher 7 android app which replicates Windows phone's homescreen. Hope that's helps..

Answer: No.
Windows Phone *requires* the hardware to closely follow Microsoft's guidelines. Any deviation from the 'standard' set by Microsoft will result in failure to boot.
And, since the source code is not freely available, there's exactly 0 (zero) chance of modifying it to run satisfactorily on phones not designed for Windows Phone.

Sorry if I offensive someone... But on my 'old' HD2 with Android I was able to use and install "Daily Breast Quest" I used Android for a short time on my HD2. I flashed it with something else (wp7).
Now I have waited several weeks on the delivery of the Samsung Galaxy S2. Finally I have it, one of the apps I was waiting for was this one. Somehow it is'n available on the Markter. I have Content Filtering set to "Show all apps" it switches back automatically to "High maturity"
Anyhow, still no luck with finding the APP. Is their someone who has the APK file ? Has it something to do with the 2.3. version on the Samsung Galaxy S2.
The website http://www.playboy.nl/daily-breast-quest mentions a QR code :
It leads to market://details?id=com.mediabunker.android.playboy.dailybreastquest
-- EDIT --
No one who can help me with the apk ?
I have it for you. Let me know how to send it to you.
BTW, I don't get new breasts for 4 days now. Same thing with all my friends. I don't get it...
Haha...
What is this app anyway??

could you send it to me too? or put it in a public dropbox folder? you're the greatest!
I have an Asus Pc slate with a MAXIMUM resolution of 1280 by 800 and as you all aware that, in order to get the App on window 8 dev build to swype or dock, you're required to have a system with a screen resolution minimum requirement of 1360 by 768, and anything lower the apps would work BUT NOT the swype docking system.
Be doing some serious searching on the web and stumble across this website with straight forward SOLUTION .
It's NOT my work nor am I a messenger, just wana help out, i tryed it and its working on my Asus Pc Slate that has only 1280 by 800 Screen Resolution, there are two ways of going about it so just visit the site http://www.addictivetips.com/window...ap-feature-and-how-to-snap-metro-application/ and choose which option is easier for you.
Am just excited that its that simple and it work and i have tried it using the tweeter and reed app and works, try it out and leave feedback both here and the website if you can, am sure everyone on here would appreciate it.
Excuse any grammatical & spelling errors.
Thank you 10000x times! It works!

Do you think they are going to create an RT port / app in the future?
I really could use one about now...

I hope so, but kind of feel its not going to happen. If I remember, their android app was originally 3rd party and only just now are they making their own.
OK. I searched and searched....maybe my searching skill sucks. If you can point me to threads that show some possible solutions, thank you.
Do we just wait for Samsung/Microsoft to fix this or has the XDA community found a solution?
Problem:
Install latest Samsung drivers for Galaxy S3 from samsung.com. Works first time, you can copy files to and from. Second time you plug your phone in, Windows 8 deactivates. Unplug your phone, Windows 8 is activated.
I found this thread on MS website:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...g-galaxy/fa47bd42-9866-4cc7-9611-f01c7de7702d
If I remember right I believed I have read that this is a common bug they are working on fixing. I have not seen any fix info though

This worked. Those drivers that are listed in the thread are a different version (1.5.18) compared to Samsung's (1.5.14).
Working as intended now.
Thank you so much!!!
Ok guys this is actually my first time posting as a member of this site so before I ask for help I wanted to thank everyone on here for there hard work and devotion . You are the ones who make it easy and simple for those without the knowledge . Keep doing a great job and have mercy on the noobs! Now I would like to ask if someone can direct me or find a way to port a Windows RT app to my Lumina 2520 Tablet it is called Sonos . I just shuffled out over 800$ for this Tablet and Wireless Receiver/amp . I'm very upset as I asked if they for sure worked for my device , of course they reassured me that it was 100% universal app . I should of known better and double checked it myself . Guess I will know better next time.
Thanks everyone

I just checked. There is no store app for sonos. Nor is there such thing as a universal app. I think you asked the wrong question or misunderstood this answer.
Nor would a windows RT app need porting to your device seeming as those are the apps your device runs anyway.

Well obviously there are no apps that are actually "Universal " what I meant was they told me all the OS carry the software needed to run this program. So what I was asking from you guys is it possible to somehow get the Windows 8 version running on RT ? Sorry for the mistakes in my first post
By "Windows 8 version" I assume you just mean "x86 Windows version" since there's no Win8 "modern" app for it, at least not in the US store.
Even if the app was open source or written fully in .NET, the answer is still no until there's a jailbreak available for RT 8.1.
