i have an htc one m8 with android ive been doing some looking and all the stuff i found was from atleast a year ago but i cant find anything about getting windows on the android M8 so im wondering if its possable at this point
Well...
No. If the stuff was all from last year, I think it's pretty obvious that there's not a way. I think most people have given up on it too.

hello, your Desire will not be branded.. thanks to the people (and me) who had complained about the 1.24.161.3 uptade (vodafone branded, very buggy & slow!)
enjoy the phone, dont root or do anything with it as it is your first android phone so it would be very likely to brick the phone if you do not read & or know enough
I am pretty sure you will have 2.2, however 2.1 is not that bad so no poit messing around with the phone to get 720p etc.. for me- it made no differace, just wanted the horrible branding off!
nice to see someone live close to me.. never saw anyone clocer than london..
hope this helps & enjoy the phone

welcome, to the dark side !!
thank you all... that would be sweet if its not branded like my tp2 was....
im inbetween slutton & croydon and work in east london atm.
ive heard alot of good things about android, only every really had a lil play with 1 or 2 android phones in the shops, couldnt test the internet ect...
but i wasnt keen on flashing my phones, must be why i got so annoyed with the tp2.
i will check out the link posted, and i will probly be posting up about more stuff if i cant find it in the search function.
You wouldn't be dissappointed with the Desire, infact, you wouldn't be dissapointed with any of hTC's android phones, especially unbranded ones. I strongly suggest you to flash a custom rom tho, they are quicker and more efficient than stock roms and should lengthen your battery life compared to normal stock roms.
Well I hope you will enjoy the phone, and have fun in the Desire forum
started using my desire last night, havnt evan had time to set anything up on it, i need to get used to the touch screen, soo used to having touch & type lol
have installed a few things such ass whatapp & juice defender because the people i work with rate that app highly with there galaxy S's
When the google play edition came out, we got the dump, and worked to making a flashable rom. Now with a Windows Phone variant running on the M8, wouldn't it be relatively easy to port it? I tend to switch between Android and WP phones. Having a phone that could have either would make me want to purchase the phone because I wouldn't have to switch between two phones constantly.
Is hboot on HTC windows phones? Is there a way to dump the system and port it? Make a rom possibly? Maybe possibly RUUs to switch between the OSs factory installs?

The phones have different hardware so don't count to much on it...
From what I have read, the only change will be the OS
"As for specifications, the Windows-based (M8) will run on Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1, but should otherwise be identical to the Android model, from the Boomsound speakers to the 5-inch Full HD display. No word yet on whether or not the device will come to any carriers other than Verizon, but there hasn’t been any indication from any other carriers up to this point."
So I wouldn't go as far as it's not possible. There is always hope.. In the General folder there is a dev working on a Dual Boot M8. Hoping to see the WP8 on one of the boot....

The hardware is identical according to leaks, they just swapped out Android for Windows Phone.
@Oditius, thanks I found it, its called MultiROM.
I currently switch between my M8 and my Lumia 1020. I love the sleekness of Windows Phone and the big screen and awesome speakers of my One. Would be nice to see this happen a-la HD2
Wonder why this thread hasn't been closed by the Android police?
So you care to trust leaks but don't read xda ?

So you trust the word of one mod over hundreds of leaks? I am in the WP world as well as android. Ghost may be right, but then again there are too many very trustworthy leaks.

Why would i not......Why should i trust leaks even if it would be thousands and spreaded of the word of one man.....same as believing one mod !
I'm not going into discussion about this any further. All WP vs Android M8 are closed down.....this should be the next i guess
But this isn't about WP vs android. I like both OS's. This is about putting WP on an android device to have the best of both worlds

BTW WP is coming to the HTC One M8

Can you install windows os on an HTC ONE M8 that has android/htc sense OS?
currently, no..who knows what the future might bring
You mean convert to HTC one w8? I bet we can soon

A Windows Phone variant with the exact same specs is coming to T-Mobile. Duel boot has all but been confirmed.
Not sure if it is the same, I remember you always had to install windows before Linux when duel booting, the question is where there be a ROM that can be installed on the android version.
I am seriously ready to go to the store now and get the m8. My 4 month jump plan was ready a few months ago actually. The note 4 has been announced and I think "meh" sums it up. I'm just as good keeping the 3.
I don't use nor have stylus apps on my note 3, just love the specs. The ability to duel boot is something I'd leave Sammy for. There has been almost nothing about the actual process or ability to do so, but there sure is quite a few asking about its possibility.
I've spent to much to just leave android. It would be nice if someone who knew the challenges well could outline what needs to be overcome and in their opinion on how long it could be till we can duel boot.
I have the early version of the jump plan. I don't have to have half the value paid off. Every 4 months, new device, but the note... Love it. Not leaving for a windows device that is sub par. And they really all are right?
I'll be waiting!
I am reading so many posts with people in great pain after upgrading to L. Others seem to have no problems. I'm trying to decide if I should take the risk or wait until Sense 7 is released. Any input would be appreciated.
I have no intention to run a custom rom, I just purchased the Developers Edition for possible future options. I am planning to run 100% stock.
Prices are pretty good for the M8 from HTC and since the M9 has few changes, I thought the M8 was the way to go. For a brand new M8 I thought the L upgrade might work better.
Ultimately, is there any advantage to L at all? Notifications are all I recognize as being an improvement, which I could live without for the time being.
Hi everyone, iam looking forward to buying the m9 soon, it is going to be the AT&T version. Usually in the ATT forums on xda there are many different threads almost everyday, but in the case of the htc one m9 there are hardly any new threads. Mostly the development threads are empty. So my question is, is there something i should know, like everyone converting to an unlocked m9 and discussing threads in this specific m9 forum? if no one is converting and there are no ATT threads then it would be rather pointless to get the ATT m9, i might as well buy the galaxy s6
I'm selling my unlocked M9 on swappa if interested!

This post is irrelevant to the question
95% of the activity is in the main M9 forum. Everything over here is usable on the AT&T M9. I got my M9 from AT&T and have been running WWE stuff on it from the beginning with no issues.
if you dont have an m8 then go for m9....
if ypu have something else like the m8 then go for m10 when released....
if you have money enough and dont care.....buy the m9 now and 6 months later m10...i will do this ;D
Thank you for clearing that up, but are the regular roms flashable on AT&T or do i need to change my cid
I just got my M9 and I'm loving it!
Actually I ordered both M9 and Galaxy S6 but decided to return the Samsung after trying out both in a couple of stores.
M9 is soooo much more refined to use both physically and in software.
I would buy this again in an eyeblink!
Changing to supercid is not necessary, but does make life easier if you want to update your firmware. Has nothing to do with the roms.
did the exact same thing. S6 was just ****ty touchwiz and made the entire phone lagged no matter what I did. HTC's software is just more polished and better, and with cm12.1 almost fully functional this phone will be awesome.
