I personally think having the option of running windows phone 7 on the Vibrant would be freakin' awesome, but god only knows what a nightmare porting it over would be (and I'm not even a dev). Anyway, it just struck me as a cool idea, and I was wondering what any devs or user had to say bout it. Basically my question is, is it possible? And if so, how hard would it be?

Flame suit on?
Personally I'm done with windows mobile. They've had years to improve it and another 3 years to revamp the Windows mobile 6 platform to get it to even slightly compete with either iPhone OS or Android, and look here.....nothing happened. Mini version of Windows with a tiny start menu has just not been the way to go....stubborn bastards.
Whatever I've seen of Windows phone 7 has been disappointing so far because it seems to affected/infected by Bing. I'll decide on things myself thank you very much Microsoft. Windows on a laptop on the other hand = FTW.

well-said.
That wil never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever happen ever. Windows CE kernel is closed source, everything in the WP7 environment is closed source, so unless we make some compatibility magic... Or maybe one of our pirates can go into the MS headquarters and steal some source/documentation....... It will never happen. And aside from getting it to start up, the GSM modem and other radios will not work, nothing else will work, and it will just be a big pain in the ass.
You're not alone. I would love to boot WM 6.5 on my Vibrant and have it magically work. Hell, maybe even that ****ty iOS 4. Or how bout webOS! THAT would be nice, with the multitasking and such...

That's true, though I did like to have the mini start menu in my pocket, lol. Good old WM6 (and 5) Professional... Felt like I really had my PC in my pocket, hence the name PocketPC.

LOL and while you're there, ask him for the entire set of Windows 7, WP7 and Xbox 360 software documentation, and ask for a copy of the source code for every single project at Microsoft, including the Xbox 360's security methods. Then put it online anonymously! That'll bring their stock waaaaaaaay down......

You could easily call me a Google fanboy, but when it comes down to Google vs. Bing, they really arent that different. What is it about Bing that you dislike so much?
And as for WP7 itself, I dont plan on switching from Android but Ive got a Zune HD, and it easily has one of the best UI's around. WP7 is really a Zune phone when it comes down to it. I know Id love to try it out.
Has anyone thought about porting the new iphone os to the leo?
is it at all possible?
just a thought?
No and no.
You can install an Android build that looks similar enough if you'd like. Look for MIUI builds in the Android section.
Would you really want to? iOS is getting a bit like Symbian,Outdated,Anyway apple put so much stuff into there firmware to stop people hacking into it,it near impossible so no
Why?......
I'd only want it for the games, but android is growing.
It would be good to have another games/apps platform but I would feel dirty allowing iOS on my device. And I dont think I could ever forgive myself for abusing my beloved HD2 like that.
PS. @OP dude at least use search before posting, or even look at the "similar threads" that pops up when writing your title, This has been discussed before on many occasions, if you want to discuss it further reply in those topics.
I'd rather take it over my face.
No no no.
HTC HD2 has been created to kill iPhone and I just can't imagine it running iOS. I Don't mind seeing Symbian or whatever else (Windows 95) but not iOS!
HD2 is an amazing device worth every penny I paid for it and I would never ever want to hurt it with iOS
When people at college say to me 'Why did you not just get an iPhone?' I get the feeling to punch them
+1
I think running IOS on HD2 is a regress

Its the apps and games. seems like the winmo apps are weak and boring. I mean there are a few cool ones but not even close to as many. Don't get me wrong, I love my phone its the best hardware $$ can buy right! I have just been getting bored with the apps I have and the ones available.

iPhone owners already can say nothing. Their cloud "innovation"... we've had that via Google for years. Siri... we've had that for a while too. Search the market for Jeannie (AKA Voice Actions). I put Voice Actions up against Siri the other day at lunch and Siri got literally every question borked. Voice Actions on Android did much better. We asked Siri "What are the nine planets". It said, "I found six planets... the closest is 2.2 miles from you." I hope not! We asked Voice Actions the same thing and it came up with a picture of the solar system plus a description of the planets. Other questions went similarly. The iPhone junkies at the table were REALLY impressed when I asked Voice Actions "Show me some boobies". Then I showed them the results and said, "Try THAT on your iPhone!"

I don't understand why the hate between the two OSs , I don't think it should be competition between the user if no the company that mades, that way they can improved and the winner is the user , btw I think apple would sued whoever uses Siri in another OS

You must not talk to too many Apple fanboys. All day long, they talk about how their phone is superior to any other. I laugh when my co-workers literally say their iPhones are better than my EVO 3D.

God my company issues iPhones as a company phones (mostly to Execs and ITs) and they brag so much about their iPhone that I die a little inside each day. Something about that Apple brand that makes them believe they are top hip elitist. I don't hate Apple, I hate the people who worship it

Hrmm, I think part of it on anyone other than Apple's OS definitely has to do with Apple becoming what they advertised against. The breakout Apple commercial was that woman coming and throwing a sledgehammer at Big Brother - one way of doing things, one computer, one order.
They became that - they advertise artistic and non-conformist and people line up and say "I'm so different" as they purchase something they can't make a change to without jail breaking the OS.
Last I checked, if you want to develop for iOS you have to pay to play. I may be off on that as it has been a while since I checked.
Apple shooting lawsuits left and right for "stolen innovations" such as "slide to wake up" have not been engendering kindness.
The marketing and legal departments have been fueling the dislike, and posers who get phones for a status symbol.
There's a long and well documented lead in to the hate, and in the end it works extremely well to line various company's coffers.

And yet, they sell more and more phones everyday. I loathe the company itself. I like their products. Don't get me wrong, the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch are GREAT devices, but they're not Android. And they're not even close, IMO. I have an iPad issued to me from work. The only thing I use it for is to read, watch movies (that I get outside of iTunes), and listen to music (Pandora/Shoutcast/Music I download outside of iTunes).

I think there's also some sort inherent disconnect between camps.
Apple people think they have the greatest device because it looks pretty.
Android people think they have the greatest device because the hardware is faster and you can make it look pretty.
Apple people think that if you have to work to make your device look and perform awesome that it's you who is making it awesome, not the product. (IE you win Android fail)
Android people think that if you can't make it look and perform like you want then you're a moron or the phone is crap.
It's sort of like a broken down 57 Chevy. An Apple lover looks and sees rust and decay, and Android user sees potential - HTC didn't make Sense awesome, but I can.
It all gets worse when you have people on both sides who don't want to learn anything and believe their respective marketing departments.
Any interest in this or shall we keep debating Apples to Orang-uh hum! Droids?
my dislike for the company is in the fact they spout innovation yet they are always a year behind the rest. hell look windows 7 phone has 4g now where is it for the almighty iphone? They spout innovation on their new ios and android has already had it on of their phones for a year. and the masses to dumb to realize they are paying extra money for a phone that is at least a year behind the curve. And yet the iphone fan boys think their phone is the best then i ask what makes it better then i pull out my evo 3d and im like had that since.... and had that since..... their ignorance drives me up the wall

Well I see in a different way, sure iPhone 4s looks outdated because it doesn't have lte or WiMAX, in my experience lte is really nice too bad it has more lost signal then 3G and WiMAX is ok but man does it suck, I used 4G on my OG evo for a few months and stop using it , it just sucks I prefer 3G also in battery life 4G sucks at that right now, they need to come out with a new battery tech or wtv, I have an iPhone 4S, evo 3d, nexus s (tmobile) and my old 3GS and after playing with them I prefer both, i do prefer an iPad instead of android tablet but that might because of the apps, is nice to read books on my iPad or watch YouTube, and some apps for work , if android tablets would have a nice spreadsheets app and maybe some better apps ill probably go for it, but maybe another 6 months before that, the new asus table (quad core) looks nice but will see
I love android far more than I love Apple, but I have to admit that apple was the innovation that started the smartphone race. Even though I believe Android is much better that Apple now, I believe there wouldn't be Android if it wasn't for Apple. Flame me if you want...

Apple made the smartphone stylish. Treo made the smartphone useful. I was checking corporate email while apple was still ensuring cases expose their logo on the back.
If anyone started using siri other than apple, they will shut you down quicker than you can brag to your friends about it.
The andiod os was oringinally going to be the google os back in like 2004 but when things didnt work out and google saw that the iphone take off they applied it to smart phones
Evening all, just a quick hello.
Having been an Android user for almost 2 years I’ve made the leap back to WM. My last WM device being a SEXperia which I loved. My move this time was prompted by a rogue app that dnw/uploaded nearly 4Gb of data in 4 hours.
This time round I’m looking forward not to have to keep checking I’m on the latest ROM as I’m normally a believer of if it’s not broke don’t fix it.
Looking forward to participating when and where I can.
welcome . i upgraded from a touchpro2. this is a much better place
Back to Windows Mobile 6.1? Or 6.5?
Sorry! Was upset about a fight with a friend last night.., and irritated over some wp7 enthusiasts who were hell bent to prove Android sucks.. Anyways , I still hope you come back to Android someday.. and no, I don't have wp7 .. Just saw this on top on the xda app.. Sorry again! !
harshdoshi25 said:
You are a brain-less fool. Nothing else. If you don't know how to prevent an app from using data, then you shouldn't use a smartphone. Use a Nokia. As for Android, which phone you had? Cuz if you had an ICS ROM, then there is an option to monitor data. And it was ur mistake in the first place to install such sucky app. And don't fix if it ain't broke? You mean like Apple is doing? Ur oh so wrong! Nothing is perfect. Yes not even Apple. iPhones multi tasking sucks goats nuts.. There is literally no multi tasking. And, nor is Android perfect..

What the hell are you doing here? Get out, unless you can manage to form a constructive thought.
Do you even have a Titan? Or any WP7 device? If not, don't answer and go spam up the android section.
Thanks for the welcome Doshi and remind me to kick you in the nuts if I see you OK. You know nothing about me yet you kick of with an abusive posting.
I was running a Galaxy S from the Darky and Ficeto stable, and yes I was monitoring data so that I could see who to blame in such a case. And I blame Seesmic 100%, they are looking into my logs.. like hell they are!
Once again thanks for your welcome. I just hope eveyone else under this device heading has some manners.
Cheers for the support link )
@Tai getting to grips with a Titan of course.
Thread Closed
I started a Android to titan sticky for just such posts. This one is all ready going down hill. I will not have any bashing of any OS.
Good luck to OP, hope you have fun with your new device

i went to best buy today to exchange for white note.it took me two hours just to exchange because old people buying iphones.they really dont even need a iphone.they need old flip phones.three people front of me bought iphone 4 or 4s.i couldnt tell the diffrenece.it took atleast 45 min to teach them how to use it.
i use to wonder why apple leads in iphone sales.now i know its because of dumb people just want to own a iphone.just to be hippie again.i was so angry waiting for 2 hours just to exchange and watching stupid people using iphone.
Are you serious? People buy iPhones because they are simple and do what people need them to do. Old people buy iPhones because they are simple. Other people buy iPhones because they are SIMPLE.
Apple leads in smartphone sales BECAUSE THE IPHONE IS SIMPLE TO USE. I love my Galaxy Note but I'm not about to try and say that it's easier to use for a NORMAL PERSON.
And if you ask me, you're not too bright either from the looks of your spelling and grammar.
prob. smarter then u.i dont have time to write **** here.lots of other stuff to do instead playing ps3 or something
I can't figure out how you made it up to 82 post without either being banned or at least warned.
As much as I hate Apple and their products I gotta agree. Simplicity is the key ingredient to Apple's success. A counterpoint to this is the fact the simplicity is what you make of it. I promise 5 years from now Android will become the new 'simple' and iProducts will become the new flip-phone.
Think of computers 10 years ago. Out of every 10 people, theres was one that would get called up to hook up a printer or set up a keyboard. That same ratio is now 1 out of 2, because people are educated in the matter.
Oh, and less flame, more actual content.

ah....
When people used to ask me android or iphone i used to say android, obviously. but i got tired of explaining why its better and you know what, for a guy whos not tech savy at all, an iphone will be much eisier to use. i think it would be much better for them to learn how to use android becasue it can do so much more but hey... i dont make any money of more android sales.
i did get my father to make the switch from ios to android, (i sold his 3gs on craigslist for $350, which paid for galaxy s2, accessories, batteries etc. but thats only because i want the best for my father. if others want to be stuck, locked into that riged ios.... be my guest.
sorry for rambling... but in short, yeah ios is so much simpler, you cant say oh i dont like this so ill change it. thats the beauty of it. Severely dumbed down. but thats what alot of people want...
