and what would it take to get it running if possible
No. Too much time and effort, not enough resources etc.

Why would you want to downgrade the os?

Not at all easily. The hardware doesn't meet the specs to run it. This is a really odd question, but not a bad one.
I mean if you want to your HTC thunderbolt to look like Windowz 7.
Download launcher 7 form the market

why not? Same screen resolution, processor is on the list. Not sure what specs that don't add up.
Had a hd7 and must say I would love a wp7 lte device.
try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815
Is it possible? Theoretically yeah, but so are lots of things no one does. Has someone asked this same question before? Yes, and they didn't get a better answer .
The biggest issue would be the drivers for the lte radio working and the interface layer for the radio. Other big issue is finding some one that cares enough about windows on it and had the knowledge to do it.
Will it happen? Probably not with this phone.

i believe its possible, theres a dual boot for it although 4g might not work. i dont see it not working for the tb
It's far easier to go from a windows device to linux than linux to windows, since those with the know how are used to dealing with migrating the windows device world to linux, but not linux to windows (since they generally don't want to do that).

This is saying it's all locked down and encrypted. I really hope HTC doesn't go down the Motorola way.

so basically we have to use the stock version????

ok, dont bite my head off but............
what does this mean exactly?
cant root?
cant load apps?
sorry, i'll always be a noob at this stuff.
well, with my Atrix, until we get our bootloader bypass straightened out, we're just running Pseudo-ROMs right now (AOSP SMS, Gingerbread theme, etc.)
I'm not sure how this will affect your root though? I know that even my Inspire was a b**** to root, and all I had to do for my Atrix was SuperOneClick.

It'll be like the DX/D2. No custom kernels, no totally getting rid of Sense if you don't want it, etc. With root you can remove bloat from /system/app. But like I said, not sure if this will affect root or not.

Yes, but look at the all the development for the Motorola devices. The Atrix, it seems like, is the only device that seems like it has a chance to run custom kernels besides the OG Droid.
The Defy has 2nd init running, which allows for ROMs, but not kernels.
Evo 3D devs have a lot of work to do if they wanna crack this, I think.

We should be able to get partial root, similar to what was originally released from unrevoked. No custom kernals or ROMs, but you will be able to run any app that requires root as well as remove anything from the ROM that requires root access i.e. remove from system/app

I saw in another thread that it's an Atrix 2.
Lets not hold our breath on whether we'll get it or not.. Looks like they are looking for developers from the companies to get compatibility development going...
I wish someone would release an DIY on how to compile the ARM ubuntu for us to mod our webtops...
No freaking way.

I hear ya....
I wish sometimes I had the technical know how to make these things... it's such a great idea, and if it was possible. I couldn't imagine the capabilities.... especially with things like the lapdock
this may just be a foolish hope, but I see many similarities to the current webtop, so the atrix might be one of the first devices with this feature. Who knows, maybe it will replace webtop under the upcoming ICS release

What you're saying is like saying I can run windows on my phone...
not sure if you understand the point of this?
What you refer to is VNC (virtual network computing)
this is native (as in ubuntu runs off the phone interacting with the kernel itself)
Hmmm so the Ubuntu Installer app in the market is VNC? I'm pretty sure it installed a legit Ubuntu 10.10 ARM optimized on your phone.

The one in the market will mount the Ubuntu image as loop device. Then, you can use VNC to remote into the GUI of the image. It works, but is not optimal.

i'm definitely not holding my breath. not a chance in hell moto will waste moneydelivering an upgrade of this caliber to a year old phone. better believe i won't be upgrading again unless that upgrade has this tho =D
unfortunately our best hope is in the community devs. and considering they're working on their own time and not getting paid, what kinda odds you figure? lol i'd donate time and money to this, btw i don't want a next gen atrix with a clunky ass 10lb lapdock. i like the one i have
I see the new version of Hulu "supports" the flyer, but not the view. Seems stupid to me, but what do I know. Anyway, is it possible to "hack" it so it shows up as if it were a flyer? Or am I asking for too much?
Leave a review on the app so the dev can see and make the adjustments. Usually tends to work out
I have. Still haven't seen anything yet. I've even emailed them, but their tech support is useless. I'm getting a stream error now on my Rezound since the update and they just recommend things I've already done.

I played with the kitchens on winmo, but nothing ever worked properly for me, so I don't think I'll be trying that. I don't feel confident enough in my limited abilities to do that. Thanks though.
I wonder if it reads the build prop, and if I does if I could just change a few things to "read" like a flyer?

I've been looking into this whole windows 8 update thing, I think it'd be cool, I'm running 7 now. But my phone and its customization of ability is important to me.
Would I screw up any further phone to computer efficiency doing this??
Is it a bad idea in general??
Give me your thoughts Wise XDA colony.
I don't think so. Windows 8 is a major change for windows but it should not effect the way android and windows interact, might actually improve it, the learning curve in operating the new windows will be the biggest problem.

I've been using it for almost a year now and I've not had any problems with any of the Android devices I've owned or played with. I've had OTHER problems, but never have had a problem regarding Android stuff.
Is it possible to run the actual Windows phone 8 OS on my note?
I've been thinking of trading this for a Windows phone since I've been running this for a while now.. but I remember hearing android users running the actual os on their device, which would be even better if that means being able to go back to android. Is this possible or am I dreaming?

what he said...
windows phone gets very boring very quick.
I owned one before, after about a week you'd regret it.
My last phone was a focus and I liked it very much. Can get boring, I agree... but that's why I'm interested to do it in here so I can go back to Jb when/if I want to.
I saw the one tutorial for basically losing the phone with apps to fully recreate win 8, but I'm sure I'll just be left with a buggy base android

The processor in the note isn't compatible with windows OS. Supposedly Microsoft will publish a version that will work with this processor.
Run launcher 8 that's the closest you will get. Quite nice. Using it now.
