First of all, hello, I am new here and sorry if this is not te rigth section for this topic.
I have an old galaxy ace with android 2.3 which I am not using for anything and I would like to know if is possible to install windows phone on it, not a rom or an ui style but the OS itself.
Since I dont use it, there is no problem if something fails in the process, its just for experimentations
So, is it possible?
Thanks!

Do Some Research B4 Posting!!!
Always backup your phone numbers and information you never want to lose, then start messing and testing with new items.
All awnsers are here already on the forum, and even within the first 5 posts.
Start looking in the android and windows mobile parts.
I didn't lose any data i had, cause i read everything there is to read

I thought that you were the one who did not search?
ernestyung look in the sticky thread, there you will find your answers.
Thanks for all replies...
In fact, I read the forum for the whole day and what I have found so far is that all touch pro 2 android 2.2 ROM did not fix all problem yet. Therefore, I am asking for any ROM that works for all function even 2.1 ROM.
As far as I know, HD2 has launched the 2.2. ROM with all function working, don't know if that ROM can be applied on Touch Pro 2?
Thank you

The ROM itself has no impact on hardware functions working, and those are all kernel issues. It doesn't matter if you put the same 2.2 HD2 ROM on your phone (which is easy to do) the TP2 kernel is more advanced than the HD2, and therefore further behind.
I have android running on my TP2 (verizon). Its nice to have both OS's on 1 phone, but its still very unstable, no sound, gps, cam, bluetooth, screen goes black 1 out of 3 times, phone still Lags. Im pretty sure these guys will get it right in a near future, so big ups for them!

Do I need to Hard SPL before install and run the Android ROM on my memory card if I'm using official HTC ROM?Because it's dual boot winmo and android,that's why I'm not pretty sure.

If you would read a little bit you would find out this doesn't even install to your internal memory(NAND), it installs to your SD card, hence why you can dual boot......

Thank you Reefermattness~!!What I read all is just install in my memory card and that is....However, what I read from HD2 thread is that they need to hardSPL the handset before install the android ROM...That's why I worry so much....

Well a quick tip is don't read the HD2 forum for a TP2.
There are people that use this with stock ROM/Radio just fine.
Many thanks....Im playing around with the Andriod ROM with my TP2 now....quite fun
Hope that the final version is coming soon~~
Is there any such thing as a "final version"?
Questions and concerns have been clarified so closing thread.
If anybody needs further help, have a look at the stickies or open up a new thread.

Hi everyone, first time poster, please be gentle...
I have recently brought a chinese smartphone, mainly as a bit of a folly to see what they are like. I have brought the Star C1000 also known as the Sesonn C1000, Kingelon C1000, HDC White Walker, Vifocal C1000, Lenteen C1000, Goophone M3 and many other names. It is 5.5 inch with fingerprint scanner.
I want to flash the rom and put either a fresh android 4.4 on there or another trusted mod e.g. cyangenmod but i'm having some trouble as I can't seem to find the necessary ROM for this phone in order to do this. Add to this non of the apps that automate some or all of this i.e. Rom Manager won't recognise the device in order to provide rom's and back up facility and when I tried the automated cyangenmod auto installation, again would recognise the phone and continue with the installation...
So could anyone give me some guidance and advice on this,
P.s. Phone is already rooted as its loaded with their custom rom which says the version is android 5.5, so unless this phone is from the future...
Thanks
Matt
Hello,
First, i dont think that there is any CM Rom for your device.
Second, check every other device with the same Hardware as your device, for one with 4.4 Android.
If you find something, a little Modifikation of the update binary should do the job
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks for your reply, that sounds a little too technical for me I think,
Now the reason I want to do this is because it has come with its own rom installed claiming its android 5.5 and that its a sony m880 when it obviously isnt....does anybody know anything about this...
Heve you found any ROM for the C1000?
Hello,
I wanna put Firefox OS on my GT-I8160 and get rid of that ... Android. What do I do? I don't have no big experience with moddin my smartphone, other than puttin 4.1.2 ROM on it. Based on some other threads I reviewed before, being:
[Q] Firefox OS on Samsung Galaxy Ace 2x
[Q] [ROM][B2G][LWW] Firefox OS
[Q] Firefox OS
, there're some ROMs but buggy (no WiFi, camera, GPS etc.). Have these been fixed in the newest ROMs for GT-I8160. Please guide me thru.
NOTE: I want to GET RID of Android (that's why I'm doin it), not install no plug-ons like 'Firefox OS experience for your Android device'.
Thank you very much in advance!

Take these sources: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g
Add our device source tree and kernel, modify ramdisk, apply our STE patches (the ones from j-aosp should fit aosp base of firefox os).
Then compile it.
But with your experience in that it will be almost impossible.
Personally I wanted to port it before, but realized that I'm in lack of time, and I don't really need it.
Ahhh,wait.... Firefox os is fully based on android.... Only one difference: it uses HTML applications instead of java.
Yeah, I'd probably need some help with these. Do you have any info on if this particular ROM still has them problems i described previously? Where can I find these things you listed? Is it all in the phone's general? Anyway, can I ask for links just for the sake of makin sure I got THE right one?
Isn't FOS better on security aspect because of sandboxin?
Is there ANY alternative OS you'd recommend to me, especially speakin of security? I DO mind Google knowin all where I'm even though I think my GPS' s off, and knowin all my data etc. . Thank you for reply BTW!
@up
You should compile from sources every alternative OS. You can't take it from other phone and port it. All bugs are device-specific.
There is no tutorial. Only generic-device ho-to-build tutorial. For FOS it's https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Developing_Firefox_OS/Porting
You should also adapt all STE patches. No one will teach you. It's simply impossible.
Alright, I'll read these, and try to find more on my own as well. Is there ANY PARTICULAR OS you'd recommend to me?

Have you actually tried the custom ROMS for our device?
For a budget phone, it does have quite some options, and most are running well.
Is it possible to change dpi on the latest Oxygen OS? I just bought this phone today coming from OnePlus One and cant seem to find any option...

No, its not available on Oxygen OS. You shod get it kn Nougat though
It's not an integrated feature, but you still can manually (or with an app) modify the build.prop file to change it. And that works in pretty much any ROM out there.

Not sure if you are rooted if so this is an easy answer
If you are not rooted its also an easy answer and no need to start a thread simply google it "how to change dpi on android" or "how to change dpi on Oxygen OS"
The instructions will pop up and voila.... i use it all the time on my non rooted phones that I am unhappy with the dpi..... You're welcome
