is there a way i can install a different os i love android just want to try others out
maybe, if somebody ported one to your phone. if you want to try a lot of os u should buy an HTC HD2 which has ports of ubuntu, meego, android, wm6.5, wp7 (and maybe more I can't remember)

Hello,
Okay, so I know that people always ask, "why the h*** would you want windows phone 7 on an android phone?" But, I really like the simple UI, and I like the way the apps look and things like that, so with that said I have 2 questions:
1. Does a "WP7 rom" exist (like in the WP7 forums).
2. If so, is it remotely possible to even attempt to run it on an android phone?
I am just asking because the way I see it if WP7 can run on an HTC device, why could it not run on an ANDROID HTC device, with the rerouting of some software and things like that. I have a MyTouch 3G Slide (I know pretty old school) but I have already gotten it to do things that they said would not even be in the dreams of a MT3GS user! I am a novice software dev, but I am completely down to learn, 100% with no objections!
Thanks you guys,
Ognimnella

As far as i know, the only non-WP7 phone that can run WP7 is the aging HTC HD2. But i really don't know how far the development has come, so we may see some Android devices run WP7 in the future. Who knows! (Not me)
The wp7 rom is not open sourced so no devs try porting

So wait how have people been able to create WP7 like apps (Launcher7, Seven Calc, Photo Safari, WP7Contacts, etc.)

They rewrote the programs, these ports don't share source with the original wp7 versions. That's why the Android version of these programs work a bit different.

Its possible in technical terms but will it happen i don't think so it takes a lot of work. They have to make new bootloaders for it , then they have to optimize windows for it, then we need a way to flash the bootloader also. Well atleast im pretty sure thats how it goes.

Agreed.
1) Extremely large and complicated process. In addition to the bootloader, drivers, etc would need to be ported over, especially for the custom closed source 3D features and also depending if you have the 4G WiMAX device, this is closed source as well as the 3D features.
2) Haven't seen any type of community support on any of the forums for undertaking this type of project, i.e. loading Windows onto the EVO 3D.
3) Cell phone life cycles are becoming shorter and shorter. The time developers spend dedicated on specific devices are diminishing.
Sorry to crush your hopes. Unless HTC has released or releases a device hardware wise identical to the EVO 3D which has Windows 7, I'm very confident this will not happen.
Even with the release of a device with similar hardware, I'm say I'm still fairly confident for the above reasons it will not happen.
Hope that helps!
Hi Guys, thanks for reply.
but just curious why I see it working on HD2 as per below link:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/24/htc-hd2-can-now-dual-boot-windows-phone-7-and-android-promises/
If HTC releases a device with the same hardware or fairly close hardware, just different OS, it can be done.

Windows Mobile 6.5 only?

how about just install purely WP6.5 or WP7 only is it possible?
have any one try that? I just want to play around with windows mobile, the touch flow 3D seems much better than HTC sense flow.
No one has attempted to port windows to our phone.

Is there a way to port android to HTC Titan? Running a dualboot system would be awesome.
I know it was done on the HTC HD2 etc, but the titans file system is abit pants tbh!

Buy an Android device. There's HTC Sensation XL that's identical to this one but has Android.
Mods?
Its a question and it can be asked. Not that the responses will be positive...
Take it easy

Is it possible to port Windows Phone 7 onto our little hero? I don't exactly know the required specifications for a device to run WP7, but surely it must be possible?
Bump
Sent from my Hero using xda premium
Wp is closed source and will therefore be (nearly) impossible to port. Hero doesn't have the specs needed either
sent with love from me to you
You could use launcher7 if you want, but a wp7 rom is unlikely.
I saw a honeycomb rom on legend forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017209...so, can smb port this to hero? At this moment I can't because I'm trying to make miui for hero...I have all apps from original miui resized... so if anybody can port honey to ours heros, pm me...

It's a SDK port, we allready have one of those, and it's terrible :/ Since the source for HC never was releasesed and it's aimed for tablets, it's useless on phones
Now I have another question...what's the different between sdk port and rom port?
Sent from my Hero using XDA
A ROM-port usually have all the functions implemented.
The SDK-ports are made for emulators, and therefore lots of stuff are missing from them
Thx for the answer
