The fact that the HD2 can boot Android, WinMo6.5, and Windows Phone 7 makes me mad and jealous.
I don't know how many of you there are out there that would like to have the ability to run anything but android on our phones. I agree, Android is superior and is amazing and all, but I get bored sometimes and before you tell me to flash a new ROM... in the end they're all Android. Why not have the ability to flash different OPERATING SYSTEMS onto our phone? I mean hey, if the HD2 can do it so can we!
I understand there is a great deal of work involved in all of this but I'm sure there are others out there like myself who would enjoy such a feature. I created this thread in order to bring those people together so maybe we could find a few developers interested in getting this going.

Well there is a dualboot project underway by a developer Uncorupted. Right now its between 2 android roms, but its still progress.
P.S. you might get flamed for posting here.
Would be nice to try. Good luck!

I've been following the dual boot project and it's definitely something I'm going to make use of (Running CM and a Sense rom... what's better than that?), but at the same time I know there's a handful of people who are interested in running winmo or windows phone 7 on their EVO. This is an amazing piece of hardware and I think it'd be great if we could figure out a way to make more things work on it.

The dev support for the HD2 is superior to the EVO because of its worldphone (GSM) capabilities. Although it would be awesome to have the choices, I doubt it will ever happen on a Sprint device.
It kinda sucks because I feel like the phone has so much potential if it were running on more OS's
Well, it's officially been two months since I got my G2. What else is there left for me to do?
- I've already got SIM Unlock, superCID, and radio S-OFF.
- I've already got CM7 Nightly 92 w/ Pershoot's latest Gingerbread kernel.
- I've already got backups of Virtuous, Virtuous G-Lite, and CM7.
- I've already installed Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and set up lxde.
- I've already overclocked and underclocked my CPU.
What else is there left for me to do? Can I dual-boot between different mobile operating system platforms (i.e. Symbian^3/Maemo 5, Windows Mobile, HP webOS/Palm OS, etc.)? Can I do ANYTHING else other than flash a ROM/Kernel and overclock? Or is this it?
You have done pretty much everything there is to. The next step is start cooking up your own stuff. I'm guessing you all ready have adb working. You can download apk manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701 and start doing some themeing of your own or port some themes for your favourite roms.
And if your feeling really adventurous have a go at building your own roms, there is a really easy to use rom kitchen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
If your computer is up to it you could try building cm from source have a look at the cm wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Building_from_source
I don't think there is anyway to use any of the other OS's you metioned. But some one is working on a project to dual boot android roms, the concept is awesome it would be cool to dual boot between sense and CM, have a look here for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847423 this is a WIP though

You serious?
This is all I can do?
****!!!!! I should've gone with an HD2.
I'm already cooking up a custom ROM.
punjabiM0D? It's in my signature.
You gotta be kidding me. So you're telling me there's no way I can get Maemo/Symbian^3/webOS on my phone as a dual-boot? Is there at least a ROM of Touchwiz or even MOTOBLUR? I'm sick and tired of HTC Sense.
On the xda app so can't see your Sig. Siulmagic did do a droid x port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051229 so you can give motoblur a try.
The HD2 is the xda king everything seems to work on it. Our lowly G2/DZ are not in the same leauge.
It may be possible to port some of the OS's you mentioned but i dont believe anyone is curently work on them. But i would love to be proved wrong.
How is your custom rom coming? If you need anyone to test I'm all ways happy to help. I have a really quiet job which provides me with a lot of spare time and a decent internet connection.

Windows Phone 7 is a closed platform, so its pretty close to impossible to port it to other platforms, in my understanding. I believe the only reason HD2 can run it, is because MS actually developed a WP7 version for HD2. As far as the old Windows Mobile versions, its obsolete and a pile, and the only reason to run it, is if you need to run some legacy software. Similarly, Symbian is all but dead at this point, as Nokia moves to WP7.

Not too familiar with the Blackstone, but probably just a matter of developer interest. The Blackstone seems to have pretty similar specs to my old Touch Pro 2 (in terms of CPU and memory), and the TP2 does run Android. Although the TP2 Android project was pretty slow and laggy when I last played with it in December or so (but it looks like a lot more work has been done on the project).

Its a phone, and its designed to be used with its native OS. Not for loading other OSes willy-nilly, for your enjoyment.
Even if you could load other OSes onto it, so what? Would that radically change your smartphone experience, and what you do with you phone day to day? Not really.

Well for starters you could settle down and control your compulsiveness to jack with your phone. Android is probably the best OS out there, no reason to port to an inferior one. You are the first I have heard that has wanted a port to all these other variances. Most others are happy with the Android OS and like the custom ROMs and ways we can customize our devices already.
My advice to you... find a well paying job, squander all your money with buying yourself a brand new phone every month or two without contract. Maybe port all this other crap yourself. You seem to complain a lot, so intead of doing that, make your own ports and ROMs. That oughta make you happy
you could download eclips and the android sdk start making your own apps
you could try and port touchWiz or motoBlur to your phone your self
i beleave there is a port for MeeGo for our phone but is is far to slow to do any thing on

I don't really know what you are expecting, its a phone. how much more could you want it do to? compare it a iPhone, then you would be limited. If your desperate for a Touchwiz or Motoblur Rom, port it your self. The reason why these ROM's haven't been done is because there not rated very highly particularly Motoblur.
You have a great phone with good dev support. appreciate it .

I'm not THAT impulsive.
I took my meds. (ADHD can do that to a kid)
I just feel trapped inside Google, Android, and HTC.
If Android really is as open-source as Google claims it to be, why do I feel so restricted?

dude, what else do you want to do? I guess that's a good question to ask. There are literary tons of stuff to do with your phone. There are numerous ports with this phone you can try. You wanna play dual core games like samuarai vengeance 2 eventhough you don't have dual core? Go right ahead with chainfire3d. You can theme your phone how ever you want with icons, colors, ANYTHING. What other operating system allows you to do this? How would you be better off with ANY other OS? You can easily flash themes and such to make it looks like touchwiz, or motoblur. you can even make it look like honeycomb for goodness sake. Fool around with the UOT kitchen and cook up some fancy looking themes are icons.
I suggest you do a little searching around on xda, OTHER than the G2 thread because there are tons of stuff that apply to alot of phones that aren't just found in that device's forum. Its dumb for you to judge the one OS that actually ALLOWS you to do whatever you want to it.
The end.

Giving my opinion does not make me a know-it-all, and nothing I said implies that I think I know more than you. You're going to come in here throwing around foul language and calling people names, and still expect people to give you ideas?
You seem fixated on just loaded different OSes, and just don't want to accept the answers people are giving you. People have already gave tons of suggestions. But you aren't interested in listening.
MotoBlur and TouchWiz are trash, anyway. Not much more than cosmetic changes to the launcher, and other general theming. You can easily mess around with those things yourself, as several others have already suggested.

Hey Guys,
*Insert flame here*
I am a apple fan boy all the way, however I am also a geek, and I LOVE gadgets. I just recently purchased a second hand galaxy nexus for myself to play with.
Ive been watching android closely and Jelly bean looks great, Im keen to get some time to learn and have some fun with it all.
So this brings me to a whole new world I have no idea about. I am hoping some nice helpful people on this forum can give me some clear answers without slamming me lol.
1) I want to install Jelly Bean, im looking around on samsungs page, only ICS. Im finding custom roms that are 4.1 however there seems to be so many different distrobutions of it, (canyogen etc) whats the differences?
Reason I bought nexus was that I wanted pure google experience, not a version of Android skinned or changed by samsung or htc etc.
2) Im very well educated in the iOS jailbreaking scene etc however, unlocking the bootloader, I am assuming this is reversable.
Does it have any adverse effects that I would notice etc?
Im hoping you guys can point me in the right direction in getting the device on jelly bean, and as I said, straight up android.
Looking to sink my teeth into Android, I think its a great OS and I always love to learn and experience new technologies.
Thanks in advance.

They said it much better than I ever could.
Your phone should receive an update notification as mine did when I bought it. First updated to 4.0.4 and then to 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean). You don't need to root the phone if you only want the pure Google experience. Nor flashing kernels or ROM's. Just stay on stock for a while and see what you can do. Then you can go to the threads posted by 3rdstring that will help you a lot to introduce you to the development world
The update notification is within the phone. You can go to About Phone in settings to know about it
STAY AWAY FROM TOOLKITS while ive used one and it went fine some people get issues with them just do a few simple commands

Thank you, that was a MASSIVE amount of information to take it but it very clear and makes a whole bunch of sense.
tnx- deadalus93 and Alex1123.
Now this leads me to my next set of questions.
Deadalus93 - Im in Australia, from what I understand the carrier dictate when the OTA updates arrive, from what I can tell, they have not pushed JB out to the devices yet? (Mind you I don't actually have the device yet, it will arrive in about 5 hours via courier)
So your telling me there is a pure google jelly bean ROM out there that I can use?
Also, what are the advantages of a custom rom, such a cyanogenmod?
From what I see there is a whole range of custom roms, what are the popular ones, and why?
Alex1123 - I dont even know what a toolkit is, but thanks ill keep it in mind
I know I am asking a lot of questions, so thanks again, Im catching up quickly.

You need to find out what build you are running. (Read the links that were provided to you.) If you are running yakju or takju, you will automatically get updated to JB. If you are running a yakjuXX build, then you will not get an update for the time being. You can flash a yakju or takju stock build though. And yes, it will be perfectly fine.

Before you ask those questions, stick with running stock for a while and see how that works for you. Then you can ask those questions.
All of what efrant said. You should definitely look for build you are running and follow the guides if you wan to change,

Customs roms are builds people have packed for themselves , putting in features/apps/etc and taking out what the don't like.
Some customs roms allow for customization for various parts of the whole experience , from custom toggles in the notification bar , for customization of colors and change of navigationg buttons.
They also have performance tweaks , making them faster in some cases then stock.
But as everyone else says , stay for stock till you are bored of it and try one of them on. Be warned though , flashing a rom is saying goodbye to your warranty and some roms have big/small bugs in them.
Qbking77 on YouTube will tell you anything you want

you can unroot and reflash stock and get warrantee back.
Congrats on your Nexus. It's a sweet device. My biggest love for it is because of Google Wallet. Such a dream to use.
while I can see others point in staying stock until you get settled in, I kinda disagree. unlocking the bootloader wipes the device so it makes some sense to go ahead and do it.
the main reason people use custom roms is for the customization it allows: both visually and performance-wise.
CyanogenMod and aokp are the most popular options, but there are many worthwhile roms here.
sent from outer space or something...
If you don't have either Yakju or Takju on your Nexus then first thing I would do is flash either one from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images . That will get you on the official Google Supported build which is a must if you want Jellybean
Hello All.
This is my first posting.
Is there a wp8 rom (look alike) for a samsung galaxy s 4 I9505.
Indeed I am newbie to custom roms but have been playing the last couple of months.
If someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction to a rom that matches WP8 as close as possible, I would be very grateful
Background:
I have searched the forum and there are some many different roms too choose from.
Tried Cyangomod - that is pretty great but not what I was looking for.
Have since upgraded my phone to KitKat,and I am very happy with it.
Purchased and tried many metro launchers, but again, they are not what I am looking for.
Thanks

As far as a WP8 ROM, that doesn't exist. You can browse the Play Store though for WP8 launchers... that's the best you'll be able to find.

Since first joining Xda and asking for a possible WP8 rom for my SGS4, I have been on a mini journey of exploration. and I would like to conclude this thread, in case someone else has the same request as mine. I would like to say - Drop WP8 as quick a you can and climb on bord the Android band wagon. The roms available far surpass anything you could possible want.
I have tried a frew now, and have decided to stick with Phoepnix with a Miui loader and the themes are especially fun and fresh .
Thank you XDA

I've had my M8 for about 3 months now... As of a month and a half ago I decided that this Sense crap was getting on my nerves. I logged on here only to discover there's almost no discussion, development or anything else going on here. What happened with this device that nobody is doing a 4.4.4 KitKat update or a 5.0 Lollipop AOSP build for it? Did I miss something big that happened here? I don't recall XDA ever being this barron. Especially on an unlockable HTC device.
too many devices
it really has more to do with the fact that there are WAAAAY too many android devices out there. i'm all for the success of android and the phone companies that make them. A few years ago when android was finally getting popular, there were a handful of devices, most developers had the same devices: htc incredible, incredible 2, galaxy, galaxy 2, etc. with everyone having the same phone, mass development took place...now there are so many rootable phones out there it is difficult to get all the devs on one device. if you have 20 developers and 4 phones to choose from you get a lot of development on each phone....if you have 20 devs and 20 phones to choose from....well, you get it. best advice is when a new device comes out DO NOT run out and buy it the first minute you can slam the money down on the counter and walk away with it. wait a few days...a week...maybe 2....check back on XDA and see what device starts getting the most development. go buy that phone. =]
on a side note, there is a fair amount of development that goes on in the world wide m8 forum area that this forum stems off of. if you read the posts it is easy to adapt your US m8 to use any of those roms. also, viper rom has a decent amount of constant development as well. i have been using this rom for quite awhile and to be honest...it rocks. if youre not using it give it a try. there are tons of customizations to keep you happy =)
go check out the M8 section http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8
After rooting and flashing your recovery you can install pretty much any M8 ROM. Sure the T-mo has WiFi calling but I'm not sure what else it has.
OR you can run your own launcher, get the xposed architecture and start tweaking your stock ROM to do what you want it to do. That was the best method for me as it still runs incredibly stable and I was able to get the majority of the features I wanted like loosing most of sense.
