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...

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.

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)

Hi All, I've been searching around but couldn't find any thing.
could it be possible to dual boot android and windows mobile 6.5 or 7 with htc evo 3d?
have any one try that?
Thanks

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.

Hi,
just wondering if there is any plan to port WP7 on to the HTC Amaze. I am currently using a HTC HD2 with WP7 and looking to buy a new phone, but every phone that catches my eye is only for android
Thanks

Ha! I was wondering about this too. Mango looks pretty clean. The Radar doesn't quite satisfy me in the looks dept though.
install launcher 7 from the market

to sum it up its highly unlikely because wp7 is closed source....just buy a hd7 or htc radar

Like he said, you can download a launcher from the market and make it look like a Windows phone but you cannot actually port it.
This is a wp7ROM coming for android soon, so just hang in there.

I have to second the launcher 7, look and feel of 7, with the backbone and support of android
Something to look forward to I miss metro ui and my hd7... L7 doesn't even come close to looking or feeling like wp7 the app list is the only thing close to it. Theres only 2 apps, seven+ calculator and ubermusic that are very close to feeling like wp.
Thanks for your replies guys, looks like ill give the Amaze a miss then. Im not a fan of Android. I had a sensation for a while and couldnt get on with it or Android. Since putting WP7 on my HD2 with a class 6 32GB SD card, ive fallen in love! I was intersted in the Amaze because it has an accessible SD, where as most phones at the moment seem to have the SD card locked away.
Thanks anyway!
weird, my sensation had an accessible SD card??????????
Can't understand why you would want wp7?!

I want it because its great. As i said in an earlier post i dont like android and cant get on with it. It was always freezing and crashing. Ive been using WP7 for 6 months on my HD2 and i havent had any problems. Never had a crash or had to restart the phone. It works perfectly with my my zune and win 7 computers and sync with my hotmail accounts. I understand many people are android fanboys, but im just not one of them. Thanks for the advice!

Why would you bother asking about it being moved to an android phone then, wp7s hardware sucks because that's how windows phone is designed as an OS they have requirements and what it does and doesn't function with yet. It will be a while before it gets on great hardware and even with mango it still feels incomplete, there are a few good things about it though.

Just wait for the Nokia 900, I love WP7, Android, and BlackBerry, Have used all 3 over the past 6 months.
Seriously? Go find another forum to harass. Better yet, sell me your amaze and pick up a wm7 device.

Call down, he just wants the best hardware he can find
Windows Phone 7 currently has a strict hardware compatibility list. For now best to stick with phones that are built for WP7 otherwise there are likely to be issues. I'd be very careful buying a new Android phone and thinking you can get WP7 on it.
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?

Wp is closed source and will therefore be (nearly) impossible to port. Hero doesn't have the specs needed either

You could use launcher7 if you want, but a wp7 rom is unlikely.
