Im currently running a HTC HD2 TMOUS with WP7 and i love it, however i saw a dell streak 5 and loved the large screen. Does anyone know if WP7 has been ported to the streak yet? i would have bought one already, but im not a fan of android
Thanks
samsung note
WP7 wont come to the Dell streak, afaik WP7 is not open source so it would harder to port
Yea,not being open source might be hard,but one of the guys that designed wp7.....was hired by google to work on ice cream sandwich.....and you can see the wp7 flavor in it.were all hoping djsteve,and the other devs,can bring us ICS around christmas......maybe : )

I got the Dell streak to get away from windows phones...
Haha......well I did too,atleast the older windows phone os.....havent tried the new one yet.....but glad their finally putting more work on making it better,but I think MS,should have made the new os more like win 7.....instead of trying to make it "easy" like an apple pc(in this instance ios) and then turn around and make windows 8 more like its new phone os.....whats going on?

Hi dear,
I bought my great HTC HD2 for T-Mobile a week ago.
I'm using Android as a daily OS.
It's quite cool and smooth. Actually, it's faster than my old phone, galaxy s.
By the way, I'm wondering if my HD2 will be able to get Windows Phone 7 OS.
Although it will not be official version, will it be possible to be released custom rom?
Please let me know about it. To be honest, I'm really enjoying with Android but
I just want to try New OS.
I have used BlackBerry Bold 9700, Samsung Omnia 2, Nokia N900, Galaxy s and HD2 which will be my destination.lol (ah, ipod touch as well..-_-)
Each OS has totally different system so I've been very exciting using OSes.
atm its not possible to get the WP7 to the HD2
this is because the lack of good drivers for sound, display ect ect
maybe in the near future
Lets say the Dell Venue does come out.. as stated
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/gadgetrev...ell-venue-launching-in-korea-this-month/20811
We do get our DVP as notified....
Whats the chance you wonderful Android Chefs out there could cook up an 2.2 Android ROM based on teh Dell Venue, that would work on the Dell Venue Pro, and still let us use our keyboard.. (DLL off Motorola Charm or Droid Pro maybe..?)
Just thinking out loud..
Please lets not start this "i want android" crap! If you want an android phone why not just buy one in the first place?
Maybe because he prefers Android with a Keyboard?
You probably prefer WP7, but Since Dell is releasing the Venue pro with Android there's a good chance the DVP will be able to run it too...
It's still XDA, cooking up roms is the one reason why we're here

Epic 4G, G2, Droid Pro, rumoured Shift 4G - tons of options for android keyboard devices. No need to clutter the forum with the inevitable "WP7 is crap, android is better" BS that is in practically every other forum.
Well,
I'm with you, no need to clutter, but if you're in love with the look of the DVP but need the keyboard, that's the best option you have...
Guess making a sub-forum for this questions makes best for both worlds?
with the consensus android is a nice addition but definitely not needed. I am much happier with wp7
I ask because I LOVE the DVP form factor.. and I have three HUGE issues with WP7.
Tethering.. I HAVE to have a phone that tethers. Keeping two lines (one DVP and one my Dash3G) is BS.
Storage.. Why should I keep a thumb drive around when I have a phone with 8-32GB of storage ?
Customizing some basic things. Like not having all my pictures in the picture hub, ALL my facebook contacts in my People hub.. If I have some videos or pictures of a personal nature I would like a way to hide them from being easily seen in my hub should I want to show some less personal pictures to friends, etc..
That said, I personally am not a fan of Android.. and with my time with HD7 I found that I really like WP7 the 99% of the time I am using if for a phone, or texting, etc..
Personally I am seeing a lot of what WM7 could have been in andriod when it comes to customizations and other features. Heck looke at HTC sense on 6.5.3 and HTC sense on the EVO 4G. They arent that much different, heck if WM6.5 had added more active widgets and such, to a PRODUCTION phone it may not have been given such a bad rep. Look at the 3VO and other cooked ROMS here. A LOT of them are better than iOS or any Andriod I have used, but a lot of those features were never added to a production phone.
I digress.. when it comes to andriod.. the new Netfront UI for andriod looks awesome. There are also a ton of apps that simply arent being done for WP7 yet. So.. Long story short... I like personalizing and customizing my phone. I may get over that with WP7.. I may not. Be great if I had an option to play with a Andriod ROM on my DVP, and then go back to WP7 and so forth. Even be cooler if I had the ability to dual boot. But I doubt highly with the way WP7 deals with the SD cards that would be possible.
In any case not trying to get into a WM6 vs Andriod vs WP7 which is better conversation.. they all have thier pluses and minuses. Just curious if anyone thinks it would be possible to put andriod on a DVP should the need arise.
Or even better.. anyone try putting a WM6.5.3 ROM on a WP7 yet? I havent checked..

Just get an HD2 if you want WM 6.x.

Would that be the one that fits in my hand perfectly.. and has a slide out portrait keyboard.. and a nice vibrant screen.. ? OR the fragile huge phone with no keyboard.
I guess I could get a new tilt2.. but it doesnt have a portait keyboard and a smaller darker screen.
The whole reason for this thread.. is the DVP is a UNIQUE form factor.. and one of the most beautiful phones I have ever owned. If they made it with WM6.5.3 it would be my first choice. But since they don't make it that way.. it would be awesome to have a Energy 6.5.3 Rom for the DVP Personally thats my favorite UI to date.

Agreed.. they are both good in thier own way.
Im starting to like WP7.. its just so different.
As I mentioned, personally I like WM6.5.3 but know I am in the minority there..
I was praying and crossing my fingers the HTC Throphy (The mock up from last year and not the WP7 phone) that would come out before WP7 launched. As that looked to be my ideal phone.
I only started this thread because if the Venue and Venue Pro ar the same hardware, I wouldn't mind trying Android on my DVP (and mybe play witht he Netfront UI and other things) and possibly switching back to WP7.
Although as I mentioned.. I would gladly pay if someone could find a way to boot the Latest WM6.x Energy Rom onto my DVP.. I would be in heaven then.
Engadget Hands-on with the Dell Venue:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/23/dell-venue-launched-in-hong-kong-we-go-hands-on/
Id pay some good money to see android on the dell venue pro. I like windows phone 7 but the OS is still a bit young.. there's certain things I like better on android and no im not trying to cause a debate or argument.. im just sayin, if the dell venue comes out, how hard would it be to make that compatible with the dvp..I love my dvp by the way, especially the slide out keyboard
It would be great if WP7 and Android can be run on Dell Venue and DVP.
Anyone try yet? Or has anyone gotten the ROM off a Dell Venue?
bump, I'd like to see this get done, and I'd pay some good money for it too!
Bump... Just wondering if anyone has rooted the Venue and figured a way to install on the DVP yet..?
I've started a Bounty on Android on the DVP here:

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.

im really thinking about getting it.
^ thanks. Will b more careful in my future post.
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.

Maybe a very stupid question but is it posible to port any other os to sgs2? Like linux or meego or any other??
It's very much possible to do that. It's only a matter of time before we see that happen.
There are already many phones that are running on ported os. However it may not make it to an Os for daily use.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Very possible as long as theres a driver for each device on that particular OS, probably only iOS cant be ported due to its closed source nature.
well i know about iOS and i would bought an iPhone if i wanted iOS. I got my sgs2 as gift, so i didn't chosed android, and i like android but i do like bit more Metro UI etc WP7 it would be nice if we could p[ort it one day
Anyone know if there is Android out for the HTC Radar and if so are there any tutorials I could follow to put it onto my phone? I didn't see an android development in these forums which is why I was asking.
Thanks,

Android on WP hardware is an abomination. I hope you never get to experience it.
The hardware on this unit should easily run android. Just look at the number or old htc devices that are doing that now.
Unfortunately, the Radar 4g didn't sell in great numbers, so I doubt any dev would want to spend their time and effort on it.
I would love to try android on my Dutch htc radar.

It is impossible.
i think its better for you to buy an android phone for you to have android.
if you want an android softphone, i think you must sell your radar, and buy one. only htc hd2 can install wp and android.
