So i been googleing about the nokia e7. Im really liking everything on it but the OS. I saw that android was ported to the iphone. So my ? Is can the android b ported to the nokia e7. I have grown to like and accustomed to the droid app such as games and pandora. The nokia e7 would b my dream phone if it ran adroid. So im just asking. To see if ne 1 has ideas ? If its possible n what r the likely hood. Thanks for reading.

E7 and Android
I would love it but I'm afraid it will never happen. NOPE! in our entire lifetime. Nokia Decision....so .stupid isn't it!....They Know they could sell the best phone ever made to millions by doing Nokia E7 with Android and beat the iPhone 4 once and for all, but they won't do it! Nokia with Window Phone7 for the future? another bad move you'll see...NOKIA was great long time ago, I had E65 a Fantastic phone in 2007 . Now NOKIA = LOOSER!!!
AGREED. damn shame.

so, is possible ??? if the answer is not, why ??? i love the nokia designs like the sonyericsson designs,but nokia running android i pay for see it.
thanks in advance
Can it be done?
I found this article on MobilityFeeds:
"09 JANUARY 2012
Nokia devices on Symbian^3 can now be hacked to run any OS of your choice
The full sourcecode for Symbian^3 has been released, unofficially, together with the bootloader for Nokia devices running the Operating System (OS), opening the door to other platforms being installed on the company’s phones.
The source, shared at DailyMobile, means that enterprising hackers could eventually install Google's Android, Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 or other platforms onto Nokia hardware.
Unfortunately, that sort of mod is going to take more than just access to the bootloader information.
In fact, it will take a fair amount of code tweaking and modification, certainly if all the various hardware elements of Symbian devices are to be enabled for a different platform.
Whether there is anybody left with the time, patience and skillset to do that – and, most importantly, for Symbian devices – remains to be seen.
Still, as we said repeatedly during reviews of the Nokia E7, N8 and other phones from Nokia over the past eighteen months or so, the company makes beautiful hardware and we’d love to see Android or another platform running on it.
Heck, we’d even take MeeGo if it were offered.
Nokia is yet to unveil a hardware-QWERTY Windows Phone, so Microsoft’s platform on the sturdy E7 would be something many would covet."
Ill keep my fingers crossed that q developer likes the E7. N gets Android on it!!!!

Really hope this will work soon. The phone is amazing. Hardware wise. But oh oh oh Symbian.
So fingers crossed.
the n9 has andriod
N9 got Ported to it. SO I really hope e7 gets some love from xda
Omg that's amazing and it's running very smooth.

this is the best hardware phone there is...but i think that lack of ram gonna screw up android if he gets ported...symbian is simple, but outdated...just imagine : nokia e7 with ICS...and Nokia would be Queen again
Nokia E7 Has only 256 MB of Ram
It's not enough to Android OS.
That sucks....... however I have moved on to the meizu mx.

I would instantly buy a Nokia E7 just to use Android on it. Don't care if its Gingerbread or whatever. I love the hardware of the E7. No android phone has such a stable diagonal screen. I hate Nokia for that! Windows Phone... who cares about this rubish?!

You are wrong about that. My old GT540 has 158 mb ram and yet ran gingerbread very nicely.

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.

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"!

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!

So the Nokia N9 is a beautiful peace of kit and Meego looks nice, but how much better would some ice cream sandwich be on that thing?
How hackable will the N9 be? I guess the main thing is, will anyone have one? Seeing as its not being released in a lot of places I can see it being hard to get a hold of...
I think that the nokia n9 is a nice phone and I do not understand why nokia do not use Android for its smartphone

It's simple, because Nokia has chosen Windows Phone as it main mobile OS.
As to why Nokia pick Windows over Android, it's simple too. Microsoft needs a great hardware partner to win, and Nokia needs a decent OS to survive. They need each other, and this situation gave Nokia lot of say and control in their hardware and future Windows Phone development. While Android is great, Android doesn't need Nokia and Nokia wouldn't stand a chance in the already super crowded Android ecosystem.
But anyway, the N9/Lumia800 is definitely the most beautiful smartphone I have seen in the last few years. The button-less N9 makes an ideal candidate for ICS. However, it's too expensive at the moment...

I already own what for me is the most beautiful Android phone - Xperia Arc. Just bought N9 yesterday as I couldn't resist not owning such a beautiful loooooking device that is also getting rave reviews.
N9 is just not a good looking device, it feels so f'in right in the hand. The screen, the feel all feel perfectly balanced. It makes my Arc look like a POS. While I love MeeGo so far, I still have lot of learning but frankly, Android messed me up so much that I feel it's hard to survive with other mobile OS if you know to use Android well.
I hope some genius out there can get ICS running on this beauty. Or, I hope Samsung shamelessly copies Nokia design as they are famous copy-cats!
yeah, when i saw buttonless n9 i immediately think about ics, they are perfect for each orthers, i used to be nokia fan, hope sone dev can make isc run on n9
Nokia e7 is my dream machine. With android of course. Or w7 so It can get eventually get android
Sent from my Defy. Using XDA App.
I would be down for a Nokia N9 if there was a crew like CM that would try to port android on to it. By realistically I don't think that will happen, phone's not available in the US, CAN, or UK. And getting it off ebay is roughly $650, but I just might get it, sigh...
After reading up on the N9 I couldn't resist and got one. I had the Sony Arc as well and I been with Nokia until they messed up with the n97. But the N9 is another monster, really sleek design the OS is beautiful and colors on the screen really jumps. The black color looks really vivid and nice. I am now waiting for someone to hack android or can port android apps to the N9.
I would buy an n9 if someone ported ICS... just too nice a piece of kit to not own
Def a pretty phone. Android should really be present.
i will get n9, if someone port ics on it.
i'm working in high tech store in Italy and officially the N9 is not sold there, but we got one in the shop and is amazing; i really fell in love with that phone (you can never forget your first love )
i do want to buy it for myself, but what it bothers me is the lack of possible applications to install on the phone. an android porting on that device will be amazing.
is there a crazy guy that has tried an android porting on that device before?
also the original meego software looks pretty well and hands on runs smoothly and seems not having trouble at all, but i had only a quick 5 minutes test on the phone. what worries me is that the phone will left alone with no further support because it's the only one with meego software.
already done look at this video with meego operating 5 different OS search nokia on google and u will the link
Yeah I had SGS2 and got an N9 instead, mainly BECAUSE of the OS.
Android is slow on appswitching (at least the versions Ive run, where youd have to either exit the app, open task manager, then select from a list of icons, or you could hold the menubutton for a bit, then select an app from a list of icons).
ICS might be different, I have no idea how taskswitching is done on it.
However, I will say that the N9 rocks ass and it would be fun to dualboot ICS/Harmattan.
Also, to the above poster, its not allready done. A chinese fake version of the N9 with a 3.8" resistive touchscreen, dualsim and 1.3mp camera can, though. Also it comes with porn and talking tomcat. So theres that.
Just had to throw my hat into the ring. I am ridiculously tempted to purchase the N9. Damn thing is just too attractive.
I was really hoping for some community love but that may just be due to my HD2. Leo users have been Spoilt Rotten.
I see even a hint of android development and caution is out the window. Take my money.
Man I hope they boot leg the E7!

In the mean time i got an N9 for christmas, and the MeeGo OS built in is working pretty good, ha some features that i really love, like completely unified address book and unified messaging system, which slows me to modify the device.
On the other side, the are really few apps developed for meego os, that really pushes me to switch to another OS...
Mmm hard choice...
Awerellwv I bring your attention to Alien Dalvik(google it I cant post links)
Running android apps at native speed seems to negate the lack of apps issue. Assuming it all works as planned.
I've convinced myself I want an N9. Possibly just because that Cyan model looks fantastic. I would really love to see ongoing android development though, Knowing the device would keep up with the times is a big deal.
Now to just find the right price. If you really want to switch phones(and you have a cyan N9) I would be interested.

White 64GB N9
I have had since a few days the latest white 64GB version of the N9 and I must say, it's quite an incredible device!
I can't even imagine why Nokia went the WP7 way (beside some fresh cash certainly paid by M$).
Of course, there are still some functions & details missing and some things to iron out with Meego (like with WP7), but it's a very stable and fast OS (I'm impressed how fast Opera is loading!). I must add that it's still loaded with the 10.2011.34 Harmattan version, the latest 20.2011.40 hasn't yet been released for this specific model.
I just love the 3 screens idea, especially the "running tasks" screen, where you have access to all of the running apps and can either switch to the wanted one or close it/them. Why is it so complicated for other OS's to implement such a simple and easily accessible task manager??
The only downside I can see is the lack of applications. Only the true Linux developers will continue porting apps to this wonderful smartphone, and if we could get android applications to run on it, it would be great. And when I say run on it, it's preferably run on Meego, using Alien Dalvik or whatever other way.
If this is not possible, of course dual booting or ICS alone would be a solution, although I like the fact we're running an almost pure Linux/Debian machine, with an interesting touchscreen interface.
Hopefully Nokia will keep reading all of the N9 dedicated forums and will keep a Meego (or whatever it will be named in the future) branch of handsets, and of course supporting it/us.

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

thank u man! ill try to read and learn about this. i learned pretty mutch everything about android phones,so hope i can learn something about the lumia 800 toothank u!
I'm wondering if there are Android ROMs for Lumia hardware. Nokia's hardware is cheap and good - it would be nice to run Android on it.
Anyone know any other hackers from Nokia that are running it on their personal phones.

i think ROM isnt right. You need a whole OS with kernel i dont know what else.
i'm not a dev, but i think thats pretty impossible....maybe if you have all the sources and driver and a big team... something like microsoft
and nokia isnt relly cheap although
no, it's impossible. lumia supports only windows phone and so far nobody found solution how to install android on those devices. if u had nokia n900 then this wouldn't be a problem but you can't do anything with lumia );

Not possible in current situation.
Though I have been hearing rumors that Nokia was supposedly developing Android ROMs for their Lumia series which was under very secret testing. If you have any of those top secret devices then maybe......

Actually that's because Nokia can unlock the bootloader and sideload any OS onto it.
@ OP: If you find a way to unlock the qualcomm bootloader, you can install Android onto it, however, that doesn't seem possible at the moment
