Hi,
as I've grown to HATE HTC and their products now, I was thinking about getting an android phone with the specs to run Win Phone 7 when it's released, but...How would wiping this and replacing the OS work? Anyone got any thoughts?
Cheers!

What the... WP7S isn't anywhere near a beta or leaked or anything and you're asking a question like that?
Come on man... Think about it... How could anyone know the answer? Very silly question. There is no information on anything to do with any aspect of installing WP7S and you want to know how to put it on an Android phone? Have you seen how hard people are working and how unbelievably hard Android is to get working on a WindowsMobile device? Obviously not otherwise you wouldn't be asking the above.
Tsk tsk. Sorry for the shoot down but this is a but of a waste of a thread dude.
EDIT: I find it humorous that you say you HATE HTC yet they are the only ones with an Android handset with enough power to meet WP7S's minimum specs haha.

if you want HD2 for only reason to upgrade to WP7 then I'd suggest to wait until it's available (maybe other WP7 are available earlier, or HD2 doesn't get an update)
wait.. you want to buy and android phone and then 'upgrade' to wp7? Just get the android phone, and then sell it when wp7 hits.
the internet. It's real life.

You want to put windows onto an android phone?
Virtually everyone that owns a Leo (HD2) has been trying to do the opposite since they got their handset.
In short. No
There are far too few interested for any chef to bother.
There are Windows Phone 7 themes and apps that can replicate the look.
If you get Launcher pro and pay for the extras then i recommend having a look at this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455
If anything it looks better than WP7
Also have a look in the market (from your phone) for windows phone android.
Its a work in progress app that will give you the awful blue tiles effect that you want.
There is also Zune Home, This looks like the older windows 6.5
Hope this helps (if it does hit the thanks button)

i know the topic is like 9 months old, but you might want to consider that a future is not written until someone takes it as a challenge and wupti you got phone7.5 on HD2
So, never say "No"

Indeed. of course the desire would end up "crap"
Unfortunately it would never happen mate. WP7 is closed source. Microsoft isn't too happy with people flashing it to the HD2 (leo) and that runs wm 6.5.
Anyhow android is so much better. But try metro or launcher7 on the market. There's free and pay for apps.
HTC Desire
Not a rom, but try "Launcher 7" from the market. It's a launcher that gives the look of WM7.
Not sure if it's any good, not tried it personally.
I'd be tempted to try and get a HD2 if I was interested in WP7 - because of the ability to run WM6.5/WP7/Android/Windows98/etc.
I can't see it coming to the Desire anytime soon - as already said - lack of interest to port something that will be very difficult
I don't like the WP7 launchers. Want one? Then get a WP7 phone. or the hd2 as that beast does near enough anything. Except ios and palms software ofcourse ;-)
HTC Desire
I know this is an old thread but I did not feel like opening a new one for a question that's already asked.
So the question is: Can WP7 run on a HTC Desire. While it would be difficult to do, i'm absolutely sure that someone would be able to do it. Why?
1: HTC HD2. It can run Android, it can run WP7. This makes the point "WP7 is closed source so it's not possible" invalid.
2: Somebody made Ubuntu run on a HTC Desire. also there is a lot of information on the bootloader of Android devices and I'm sure there is some info on the Windows Mobile/Phone bootloaders.
3: Android 4 ICS is already running on the HTC Desire with Hardware Acceleration, even though the drivers needed are not published by the maker (Quallcomm if I remember). This either means that someone is doing extra work of making existing drivers work or that someone is actually making th new drivers.
4: HTC uses the same kind of chips for their whole lineup. Take for example the HTC Mozart:
CPU: Qualcomm QSD8250
Memory: 576 MB RAM; 512 MB ROM
GPU: Adreno 200
Resolution: 800x480
Those are 4 of the most important parts of any phone that may cause problems because of drivers. Also the HTC Trophy and HTC Radar have the same camera resolution as the one in the HTC Desire, so they may be the same.
All in all, I think it should be possible to port WP7 to the Desire. Main problem would be to find someone that actually cares enough to put lots of time in it and also knows the details on both Android and WP7.
Other main problem is that WP7 is closed source, which would make the developers process take a lot longer, discouraging devs even more to try it.
So let me know how your (educated!!!) views are on this subject.
I got HTC Desire, but I dont like Android. Still no chance flash it to WP7 ?
Ehh I'm waiting for wp7 too. Know that feel Bros.

I've just upgraded to a Sensation, have my desire lying around and I wanted to know the same thing... Looking back at it now its sluggish on my ROM. I fancy trying wp7 but there don't seem to be any ROM's around still. I think that with a bit of tweaking for the desire it would be cool... We just need a chef to cook something like this up... Please, if anyone has the skills...

hey is there any chance that windows phone 7 will be ported to the htc desire?
It's already done for the htc hd2 and the hardware of the desire and hd2 are really similar to each other. Android is a really great os better than ios in my opinion and I don't want ios running on my desire else I would have bought an iphone in the first place, but anyway running windows phone 7 on my android device as a second os is what I think not bad isn't it?
I mean wp7 is smooth as hell and I would love to try wp7 out.
soo will there be a port of wp7 to the htc desire?
i feel sorry for you man. my prediction is you will be atacked by atleast 100 people
I was going to ask the same question. I'd really like to see WinPh 7 running on my Desire, possibly a dual boot hehe

lol I know what you mean xD but still if I had the knowledge to port it I would have done it even if the os isn't as good as android I sill would have because it has the abilty to run it so why not? (I mean hardware wise)
This has already been asked, infact it's currently on page 2 of this forum.
Thread closed.

Hello guys befor years there was a MOD actually a MODED Sense Camera for M8 made by this guy https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743174
I don`t know the reason why and what exactly heppand why he get banned from here but his MOD was SICK.
The m8 Camera have alot more potential than Stock and since the guy is not anymore xda member the development of the MOD stop to android 4 sense 6 Camea.apk
I just was thinking if there is someone who know how to work and edit Apk`s we can have something NEW for Android 6 for example SENSE 8 Camera APK, i can`t believe 2 years later nobody try to create something similar before in the past like you can see from the images the HTC m8 Camera is a BEAST till today and can be compared with some of the latest Flagship devices.
I love my M8 just miss that MOD and i use to shoot alot in the past back in the days using Android 4 so i know the diference!
I hope some developer to read this!
Thanks in advance
i think theres another MOD for the camera app just around.
