With so many windows phones from HTC (Touch HD, Touch Pro, HD2) having Android builds for them and have shown they can run Android on these systems, I was wondering if you think its worth for someone with knowledge to try and port the Windows Phone 7 builds on Xperia X10 ?
Prima facie, it has the necessary hardware requirements such as three buttons, 1 GHz processor, enough RAM etc !!!
What do you think and will anyone be interested in trying ?

i think win 7 requires 512 mb ram.. x10 has only 384..
nd why would u want wm7 on x10 either.. seems wm7 is turning out to be pure crap!!
Too early for speculation
Why not buying an Windows 7 phone ... why the hell somebody will put such an ugly OS on the wonderful X10?

WP7 looked really nice at first. But Microsoft have gone too far with the nazi-like apple control. It's way too locked down, phones wont even have memory card slots.
Dont support these types of OS and behavior people, it's not the way forward.

Not 100% sure. i did read both: that they do not allow card slots and that phones come out with one. (i think i read it with a DELL phone anywhere in the www 1 week ago)
Is this possible? 'cause i would like to play around with something new for our x10
If someone can validate the possibility in doing so,then i will try to work on this.

Possible? Yeah, it's definitely possible. The X10 shares the same QSD8250 and Adreno 200 that the HD2 has (that has a port of WP7). But other than that, I don't think anyone really has the motivation to do the immense work that would be required to get WP7 running on the X10 (driver issues as there isn't similar enough hardware that's running WP7 as the X10)... not to mention that the bypass method may not be enough (I may be wrong as they've gotten Backtrack and Win95 running, lol)
ok thanks for the information undone i will pm some devs and hope they write me back. at least this would make a little bit more fun than watching all those threads getting some new roms upped
and this could also help us to improve our devices
Sincerely Flame
Edit: seems as if this will be for now a one man Show.
So please be patient ;D

sounds charming to me... that wud be a good idea... i think
i prefer ics more than wp7...
i think windows 7 is not good for x10
getting a new OS is always a better option why not try it??
You can download Launcher 7 and all WP7 apps from market and you will get an awesome WP7 experience

I suppose it can be done I had windows 95 on mine at one point for a laugh (its somewhere on here how to do it). Although not sure bout win 7 thinking bout it it uses some serious RAM, something our dear phones lack.

Let's be realistic this will probably never happen. And why would someone waste time porting wp7 os to our x10 . If you want wp7 os get a win7phone.

hi i've got a samsung omnia hd i8910... i think that symbian sucks and i've seen that there are a lot of porting for other mobile phone. so i ask you: can you create a way to install wp7 or android on i8910? the hardware of this phone is not bad and now there is also the overclock made by HyperX (up to 900MHz) .. so, someone can try to find a way to upgrade this phone to a really OS ? sorry for my bad english.
please help us, we are a lot with this problem!
up... please help us!
up please... help
hello everybody!
i am an omnia hd's owner too!
i think this smartphone is superb!the only limit is the symbian 5th O.S. infact i'd like to know why samsung team put this instead of android and didn't released any important update.
if android porting isn't possible, anyway i hope symbian 3^.
thanks for any help in advance!
i've knew that in past the problem was the boot loader. but i've read also that it was unlocked.
so where is the problem now?
the cpu is the OMAP3430 so i think that there is no problem to a android porting because the motorola droid has it too...
or maybe a porting of the maemo os, infact n900 has a OMAP3430.
help us... we want that our phone rise again, because we paid it a lot not so time ago.. and it has a very good hardware...
AFAIK No one else on this forum has one and no one is going to buy one to dev for you unless you donate.
i will donate if you could find codec dark edition room for me
I have this now. Great phone. I still use it mostly for the speakers.
I would love to see Symbian 3 Belle on. It's near impossible I guess. I wish Samsung had not ditched dual speakers.
Samsung really bombed this phone. A little more wide spread release and support with update to later versions of Symbian and it would have been soooo much better.

are we ever going to have wp7 on our tg01 ? just because we dont have the 3 buttons and the capacitive screen on our tg01 does that mean we cant have wp7? i mean we still have a powerful 1ghz snapdragon cpu and a decent ram. surely there is a way around this little problem.

android development stopped way back in november-december. i doubt it would ever continue progress. nowadays, the hd2 devs have moved on, so i doubt you would see them coming back to develop for older devices.
Cotulla is the best dev around, who wasthe main hd2 porter for wp7 and android. and he also ported android for the hd mini.
anyway, even if android is finished, there will still be many problems, like poor battery life due to the kernel not built for the specific device etc. the hd2 even with amdroid/wp7 isnt perfect. it sucks up battery twice as fast as wm. so imagine that on tg01's....
viOS (any version) is it possible for mini pro?

hey man stop drinking... that **** powerfull xD
no its not possible to run ios on android phones.
you should look for MIUI roms. they are iphone like.
and if you want ios you should look for an Iphone not android powered phone
i think about the question : when you want iOS buy an Iphone
So... if I understand, you want an android to run an emulator to run android? No. Perhaps I don't understand.

But iOS is running on HTC Magic but u sad this is not possible on adroid phones
Im not an expert , but android is an open source where developers can see the codes & modify it the way they want ... and for sure they can modify it to work on an Iphone or Ipod hardware
on the other hand, IOS is closed source ( with zillion lock!)
so it's almost impossible to make it running on other devices,,, and if it does it will be only 20% functional
short story long,,, users who switched to android are fed up because of IOS and it's lack of any customization whatsoever !! ALL Iphones have the same look ! it's like all Iphone users are wearing blue jeans and black shirt !!!
so I dont think there are a lot of android users willing to give away the freedom of the android & use IOS !!
Without getting into a debate over iOS vs Android, it isn't possible to run iOS on the Mini Pro as it would require having an unlocked bootloader (which we do not have)

even if you have an iphone you would be unable to port it. its like writing something from scratch for the mini pro.
by the way stupid question.

Just I think it's interesting...
Anyway it's easier to port MIUI (and with easier I mean, less hard)
1. we need a unlocked bootloader.
2. need to write alot of code from scratch.
3. iOS sucks.

@OP: Keep dreaming, maybe one day you'll get it (in your dreams). Whats the point of running iOS on our MP anyway, even if someone managed to port it it would be laggy as hell.

So guys i belive you all have heard about new windows 8 for PC but i heard that Microsoft will release an ARM version for smartphone devices and tablets, i think that we have the chance since thay say taha windows mobile phones that where latest in the winmo series would be suitablle to run windows 8. Any comment on this, true, false, posssible, or not?
time will tell nikola, i did hear that windows 8 will be alot easier to port than wp7, but, like i say time will tell
yea shure, time does everything, i think that win 8 would be portable to any device since there are some guys on sgs2 forum telling the same thing about porting it.
Hi there, you mean that there are guys with sgs2 trying to port it on Win 8? :-o now that's interesting
yea, there is a guy that have windows me on sgs2 so he think it will be peace of cake to make sgs2 run win 8. But a lot of people are like: we have android that is better. I say no. Win8 or wp7 are the simpliest imagined os's, like iOS. Android is candy eye, that is the way and have most powerfull machines runing it. So it is my opinion just.

False IMO. Why would Microsoft want to do that? If anything, they would be loosing profits ,as no one would buy their new hardware with the native OS.
Also this forum is empty.... There are no current devs anymore. Sorry to say,but I doubt anything more for the tg01.
What happened to Nokser's promise ?
IMO, i think Android is by far, the Best OS ever! So much it can do! Windows Mobile was great and taught me about roms etc... I would like to thank all the devs who made it a worthwhile expierence here!
But things have changed , and I'm really glad I made the switch to Android .

True, you got a point, but tell me, who is going to port win8 for us?
There are no devs here anymore.
To port an OS requires many devs.
Android is the easiest OS to port (due to open source nature )
Yet we don't have a functional full working port.
Wp7 project was complete rubbish by Nokser. He called for donations, promised a release, yet failed to deliver.
He took the money and left.
IMO, I think your best bet is to stick with the sgs2. The forums are like 100 Times bigger than here, so there will be much more dev progress. Soon there may ba another OS port for us there, and we can choose to switch platform. Also the hardware of the sgs is far superior to run the New OS requirements .
Do you not prefer capacitive touch lol?

Hi Nikola why you want to sell it?
I just buy a "new" TG01 and i can tell you that the price for such a piece is very good and that there are PNA's in the market that are a lot more slower and much more expensive.
So i think TG will never become "A piece of junk"!
You will always have a god device for test, navigation...! Men's stuff!

I think that if you will ask an Android - hard core fan he will also say that Android is the best option!
True is that if you feel fine with a SO then you must stay with it!
I personaly like Android because is easy to use (I speak as a low end user) and have good games. But i like WM 6 because is so versatile! You could install on the same SO more skins and is very easy to set it.
I didn't use WP7 yet ! (but i think is similar with Android - user frendly)
And by the way is wrong to compare the resistive touch screen(like TG01) with capacitive touch screen (like Omnia 7). The capacitive touch screen is made for gentle handling!

Well I haven't heard anything about it so far. All we can have right now for our Lumias are custom roms with a few tweaks, however you'll be able to flash those only if you have the qualcomm bootloader, and this is mostly luck based, because it depends on the hardware revision of your specific device. Speaking of Android ports instead I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you...

Well it mostly depends on which particular apps you need...but in terms of games you'll probably be disappointed, don't expect to find stuff like Nova 3 I mean, but if you look for simple puzzle games like Cut the rope you should be ok. The top games will be available soon on WP8 devices tho.

Nope, it will get 7.8 and probably another update in the future (like 7.9 or something). Obviously this OS is much more locked down compared to Android, so you can't fiddle too much with it, like overclocking and stuff like that. However the OS is fully optimized for the hardware, so you don't really need to do anything in order to achieve smoothness and speed: the performance is optimal out of the box, unlike on some older Android devices. I had the GS2 as well before switching to WP, I haven't looked back since then. Trust me, you'll soon realize how great it is to simply USE your phone with no headaches.

yes,i have noticed how polished the os is.. i just read a article about the lumia 800 and a htc windows device. the phone had same specs, but the htc was clocked at 1,5 and the lumia 800 at 1.4 ghz,and the testers said that the htc was just that littlebi faster and smooter. im shour i will be satisfied wih wp 7, even though i have ordered one of the weakes devices in the lumia 800.. but as far as ive seen it, even with an singlecore prossesor the devise is very fast.. gonna go for the 920 later if im satisfied with the 800 what about roms? is it some roms that will acutally benifitt me to install? i dont care to mutch about just minor added settings to the phone. but if its a rom that actually makes the phone faster or something,please let me know. i know everything about android phones like rooting,installing roms,and so on. but i really feel like a bad ass noob at the windows phone platform
THank u!

Well there are a few cool things you can do with a custom ROM. For example you can sideload third party apps (without using the marketplace), remap your search key, use different search engines, wake the phone with any button, customize the ui and more. However keep in mind that no speed improvements or RAM tweaks whatever are available at the moment. Have look here if you wanna know more, this one of the ROM threads. I'd give it a try for sure but since I did a manual update a while ago I have the Nokia bootloader so I'm stuck here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665651
