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.

Just wondering if its possible to run win phone on the optimus t/one

technically it can be done, it depends how much time you one has to invest in cracking wp7. I see no reason in running wp7 on an Android phone, besides bragging rights.
There is no easy way of installing wp7 on phones designed for something else for now...
looking at WP7 hardware requirements, and our phone, it just won't do..
why would you want WP when you have Android.
android is a heaven man, why you want to run WP on it?

I know you can port Android to WM, but is it possible to port WM6/WM6.5/WP7 to Android? Sorry in advanced if its been asked before but I can't find any info and I'd like some clarification.
I'm curious too..
me too.... please..
why on EARTH would you want to do this?
I'm pretty sure you can't because of the hardware requirements of WP7, also WM/WP7 are not open source, you need access to the source code in order to port something. In other words, it's very difficult and not exactly legal.

Do not working. WP7 have special hardware requirments
Buy a WP7 phone...
Seriously I think no.
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)

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
