Leaving that aside.. is it really possible for Our phones to have the Windows Mobile OS.. and port of it ..

Not posible; Windows Phone 8 ; runs on other kind of hardware, and is not flashable

If sony would like to do it they could do it. Why not? I know that X1 or htc hd2 are different devices but if they can every device can. There is only lack of drivers, which sony should be able to make

There was a project to port WP7, but I think it died
If I remember right, you can run Ubuntu through a virtual machine or something of the sort. Windows Phone 7 project died because of trolling and lack of support and was earlier stunted by the fact that there were only GSM phones at first.

No,
IOS, closed source = No ports because it's illegal
Android, open source = Ports everywhere
Now ask if we can port windows phone 7 to the play

Nope, even if it were possible, you'd have to up the standards since iOS aspect ratio isn't good enough.

Ppl don't care that's why
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure macOS is closed source too...same as windows but you see windows on macs all the time that's because as an above poster said people don't care...why do you think we don't have any WP ports to androids? Because its illegal....
Also why would you want iOS its so boring and basic...and what about iTunes what's it gunna do when you plug in your play? Blow up because its not an idevice?

You could install a ROM like iPlay (I think that's the name) to give the the look and feel of iOS

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
if we were able to install ios on our phone(and we are not able to do that. its imposible) there were no apps for youre device because of the resolution . some thing like what happened to iphone 5 in first months will happen to youre devices
ios is ****ty and buggy operating system
why do you need it when we have android?
I saw an ios rom on youtube but but its cm7 based.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
i think thats joy os or iplay
they are using style of ios only(that ****y style i mean)
everything is worst in ios. i cant work with it even for 1 min
ios 7 is worst of them. it is windowsphone+android+ ****y closed source os and ugly icons and apps.
Nope not possible and nothing woukd work annnndd it's illegal that prolly why it hasn't been done?
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
i didnt understand you
sorry for my bad english
but if you are talking about why we cant start a project to port ios this is the answer
first of all all apps wont work because ios apps can only work on 1 unstandard resoulotion Resolution of iphones so they dont work on other devices
second ios is closed source and apple even closed all projects that they where working on ios emulator for non osx pc and laptops. even closed projects for making faster emulators(if you sreach you find some project but all of that are without download links)
third ios apps are made only for chips that are used in iphone so they dont work on other phones
we dont need ios when we have the best operating system. why do we need that os when we have android?
what does it have that android doesn't have?

Well it has lots of accessories and apps because there's only one phone while android has more choice and lots of different types so harder to support but because its open source its awesome
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
we have the useful accessories for android phones. even the game controllers were made for android for the first time.
we have wireless charges in new android phones(or even we can make it for other phones easily)
and for the programming of apps and games its not that much hard(even its easier than ios)
for building apps for ios you should make the app for 3 unstandard Resolution(2 if you dont support tablets) but for android you have to optimize it for 4 differnet dpi's.then it will support all the android devices
for games you need to optimize them for 4 different gpu that this things is harder than ios devices
but in android you can build apps with any thing but in ios you can only build them with xcode
in android you can use 2 different programming languages but in ios you can only build apps with c
I agree iTunes store is terrible compared to gplay

[Q] WP7 Android dual boot Sony Ericsson Arc

Ok. To my understanding the problem with running WP7 on any Sony Ericsson phone used to be the hardware not being able to handle the software. But, what about now? I compared the Sony Ericsson Arc S, and the Ion too the Nokia Lumia 7100, and the specs are near identical. The difference being something minuscule like direct uploads to YouTube. So I want to know if it's possible to put Mango on a Sony Ericsson, because I really like the WP7 interface, and even more so Zune, but I just hate the phones that Microsoft is putting out. I'm about 95% sure this is possible, but I would appreciate if someone could tell me how this can be done.
Hardware us good enough.
BUT the kernel etc is for Android, so WindowsPhone won't run.
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
Windows is not an open source OS! So it is not possible to port it for Arc or any other model. However, dual boot may be possible on Lumia 800.
cool
appreciate the info
And if you want the interface use these:
The Winphone 7 lookalike launcher
Windows Phone 7 / Zune themed media player for Android OS
But it does run on the HTC HD2.
Also Android is better imo

Yes, because the HTC HD2 has standard Windows and Android (open source) in addition.
It won't work in the opposite.

Would be illegal unfortunately.

I'm more interested in some kind of beta of Windows 8. Dual boot would be great.
Search for Windows 7 on Google Play and you have launcher that is as close you can get without actually using a Mango 7.5.
I guess it's not posibble.

except the immortal HD2 ofcourse , that has everything, WM, WP, Android (up till 4.2), MeeGoo, full ubuntu (just like on your PC), windows 95/98, Ubuntu phone OS, Firefox OS. Every OS you can think of that isnt iOs actually.

I remember actually lusting after that phone, it had some very good specs for itself. It was probably why I ended up with an HTC, after going through an LG and a Samsung, ecspecially one that sported the classically divisive 'chin'.
Well hey, while the One V will never see most of those OS's, it might see the mobile variant of Ubuntu, with or without the camera...
