[Q] Flash windows phone 7 os on SGSII ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody have tryed to flash windows phone 7 OS on our beloved android phones?
And is it possible?

Won't work. Completely different hardware architecture. And as someone remarked in another thread asking this a few weeks back, "Why would you want to ruin a fantastic phone by putting Windoze on it ?".
I bet you'll never guess who that person is

Then that person has never tried WP7. And more important, he would have no idea about what XDA DEVELOPERS means.

Yep, no worries.
Now then, show me an SGS2 running W7 Phone.

Nobody here is responsible for your inability to read. Please go to General forum and look for a post named something similar to Debranding X10. It took me less than 30 seconds to read, understand, and download what is needed, and 5 minutes to have an X10 debranded.
Please stop wasting everybody's time.
By the way, nobody's mom is responsible either for your lack of attention when you're playing with a 500$ phone. If you bricked your phone, you did it all by yourself.
Please mods, delete or close this topic as it's going nowhere (abuse reported)
Hahaha... "ROM flies" =)))
in simple words Ken ... X10I/A doesnt have a custom ROM yet .. its still under R&D by our skiiled mates.. have some paitence and wait and maybe if u dont get burned for all the previous posts.. do keep checking back
I'm glad that he doesn't see it as wasting our time
But the developments are going strong. I even read in a topic about the rooting of the Desire that Modaco will buy an X10 and try to root this (but this is just a rumour)

Since root hasn't been accomplished yet, not much customization of the X10 is possible.......but why would you ever want WM6.5 on an Android phone!?!?!?
Why would you buy an Android phone if you prefer WM......
WM is such an old and crappy OS, and I doubt WM7 will be any better, MS should just get out of the mobile game........

When did you last play with a WinMo phone ? Seems like you must have done so ages ago.. The new winmo 6.5 with HTC Sense runs just as smooth as Android does.. And i tried both systems.. So really, your reply is very colored..

Ya, I've played with WM 6.5 and Sense on my HTC Touch, and I won't disagree that it looks and runs very simliar, but that's just the home screen, underneath it all, it's still WinMo......
I was a die hard WinMo fanboy back when there wasn't too many other options, but I don't think anyone will disagree when I say WinMo doesn't compare to Android.
Does HTC even make WinMo handsets anymore? I think the last one was the Touch Pro 2, and that was a while ago.....
Don't get me wrong I'm not a WinMo hater, but I just think there is way better options out there today.......

Ya, so did I, and win 6.5 on a Touch is not even close to whats on actual devices. The touch version is stripped and is a farcry from what the HD2 winmo offers. It's very different.
However, I also think droid is thee best OS around and love it. It's a shame we are stuck with 1.6 atm and until Q4 according to Sony, but hopefully that will change soon with the talented individuals here at XDA workin hard at getting the x10 rooted.

Why did you buy it if you didnt like it? If you want Android on a handset buy a handset with it on it.
Makes no sense to me to buy something unless you like it.

geez, calm down mate -.-
i bought the Mozart coz I got it on a deal. I very sceptical about WP7 (though I'm hoping to write some apps for it).
Android looks pretty cool and I've wanted to try it out for some time now. Looks like i'll be stuck with WP7 though :/
at any rate, it was an innocent question. take a chill

I am a bit angry because in all wp7 forums the first what is asked when they can expect android on it , and it are almost all junior members .
they have to read first and then ask/post something .
personal , I hope android will never be ported to wp7 .
Agreed with ameel, simple questions.

[Q] Windows Phone 7 [Mango] ROM for Galaxy SII

Hello,
Some of you, or many, might have or might have not looked for a Windows Phone 7 Mango ROM for the Samsung Galaxy SII. I know I have.
However, to no avail, Google had failed me in my searches, and I couldn't find any, or maybe I've just failed. Also, I had a look around the forum, and again, there was no such luck. My guess ? Probably because there are none.
If that is the case, and developer working on such a ROM for the Galaxy SII ?Or, even, is there one already that is hiding from me, and from many others for that matter ?
never gonna happen, as its Closed source
Your post does beg a few questions...
Why not just go for a windows phone itself than such a ROM?
i am honestly refraining from saying something rude here...
If you are looking for a look and feel then here's some post on a theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288324
Please bear in mind that smartphones so far are more near to apple desktop/laptops than PC...
they can run OS from only one platform....
Not going to happen unless samsung put out a windows phone with similar hardware to the sgs2, and as wp7 has a very limited hardware spec which doesn't include the soc used in the sgs2 I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I usually express the same when people buy an Apple and would like to install Windows on it. Why not just get a laptop from the beginning ?
Anyhow, that's not the point. I've had my share of Windows phones [mobiles]. I first used a Windows Mobile 6.1 pro on my Samsung Omnia back in 2008. But, I didn't remain loyal to it. I am happy with my Android.
The point, is, or was, such as the HTC HD2, that is shipped with Windows Mobile 6.5, and can run Android, and also Windows Phone 7 [Mago too], thought maybe it could happen with the Galaxy SII.
It is not, however, going for a Windows Phone, but, it'd be nice trying it out without buying one. Not just the look and feel, sir.

That's because the HD2 has the same specs as the Desire HD (android) and HD7 (WP7)...

And microsoft were testing wp7 on hd2. In sure that's where the first rom came from. And that's why no other phones have had wp7 ports.

[VIDEO] Idiots Guide - How to Install Cyanogenmod 7 Android Alpha on HP Touchpad

i have preware and a number of patches installed currently. is it safe to install the cm7 build while these are installed? or do i have to restore to factory before attempting android install? thx in advance
I had the same, and installed CM7 without any problems. So I say, just go for it - you gonna love it. If you have any problems installing just ask, and Ill see if I can help (and if I cant, theres about 100 others who can)
Wow rev thanks.. up and running and glad to see so many apps working. Easy stuff with your video.

Yep, I believe the kernal has nothing to do with the android installation, Android has it's own kernel. I have F4 Phantom installed and am having no issues what so ever -- other than the ones that everyone else is having due it's alpha state
Once installed you will be able to choose between android and HP's Web OS after rebooting the device.
If you need a video guide to move 4 files onto a usb drive, run a program in CMD prompt/Terminal, then you really shouldn't be running Alpha software.

people seriously need to research heavily before doing something they don't understand.
all these things have the potential to turn your precious electronics into expensive paperweights. That goes for anything.
It would be careless to do something without having an understanding of the task at hand.

I'm getting tired of people using this BS as an excuse for reckless behavior.
Modding/Using something foreign to you without first knowing how it works is being reckless.
We were all new a some point in time.
Just that there are usually instructions with anything you buy or directions on how to perform a procedure. It is called being prudent.
Would you perform surgery on someone without knowing everything that is involved in surgery?
Would you let someone who doesn't know how to drive a car onto the road?
Would you let someone that doesn't know how to cook prepare a meal for you?
I can go on and on.
So why would you risk damaging you precious $$$ device?
Read the directions/manuals and ask questions if you don't understand something. When you fully understand what you are doing and all accompanying risks, then you should proceed with caution.
Being a noob is not an excuse for negligence.

Actually it might be a good idea to remove it as there is a limited amount of space in the /boot partition, so if you've got a ton of kernels or other stuff in there, there may not be enough space left for moboot and cm7's uimage. Shouldn't be an issue if you've only added one kernel though, but just sayin'...
My reply to all of you is this:
THOUSANDS of people bought these CLEARANCE tablets with the intention of getting Android on them. It would be different if this was a $500 tablet and people actually cared about the value. I know that I wouldn't have bought it for anymore than the $100 I spent, and that makes it more of a TOY than anything.
I say that if people want to flash this, there is no reason why it can't be easy. Hundreds of people are saying "Thank you" because they wouldn't have been able to do this without my video. To them, I say "You're Welcome." To the rest of you, if this video bothers you, don't watch it.
Noobs will always exist, I'm just trying to do my part in helping them de-noobify themselves. (is that a word? Well, it is now.) Some of you act like you have to EARN the right to flash this. I don't understand that. People understand the risk and make their decision based on their level of comfort. If I screw something up, I ask for help. If YOU screw something up, YOU ask for help. I think that is the whole purpose of these communities. For those of you who are saying that my video is causing people to come out of the woodwork and ask stupid questions... I say deal with it. Again, what gives you more of a right to try this alpha than anybody else?
Every time you light a match, just remember... the cavemen had to use sticks.

However, it's an exercise in futility. Most people here don't want the logical/simple that requires a bit of work on their part. They want the complex/convoluted that requires effort on the part of everyone but them :-/

I'm not as experienced in android as you are mate. I was asking if theoretically its possible. If you don't have anything useful to say regarding my question, please move along. And keep your wit to yourself.
1) I did say something 'useful' which was proportionate to the question.
2) No.
Thanks for playing.
Edit to add - Again, think for a moment. Different phone. Will require different firmware/framework; I.E SGS2 roms will not run on the SGS3, of course the camera apk for the S3 won't work on the S2. Do you see anyone on here running the camera apk from the Nexus on their S2 ?
As we've said, a few moments of logical thinking could have negated the need for this pointless thread.

See, now was that too hard? Thanks for explaining. I've learnt a thing or two from you.
I read about porting ROMs and was under the impression that the same applies for .apk
This wasn't pointless. At least for me.
No, it wasn't hard. And that's exactly the point several people have tried to illustrate for you, but it has gone way over your head. You just don't get it.
Now then, that's it for me. You're beginning to drag me down to your level & I know I've got no chance Vs your experience (some people reading this will understand where I'm coming from).
