wow y would u even want to run windows mobile... I had a tmobile wing once - - - dont get me started on that phone lol.
lol im sry but even if i knew how i wouldnt tell ya cause its stupid idea.
why would you want windows mobile on your phone, well for decent media play back i.e films that you don't need to convert before you put on the phone, I've got both a android and windows phone, and personally I find the experience better on android, but converting films is a drag.
I don't see why you want to downgrade your phone
knowledge is power
I don't think this is such a bad idea actually it's kind of good for us having someone asking this...IS NOT ABOUT DOWNGRADING your beloved hero it's about the challenge it would be to do it and the KNOWLEDGE we would get by doing so...
Currently a lot of our great developers at XDA are focused on bringing android to our WM phones and they have done a great job so far using only reverse engineering methods, patience and a certainly huge amount of cups of coffee...so how about seeing things from a different angle? just imagine the possibilities if we can make WM work in an originally Android designed phone ,i bet you if someone dares to do it,not only the android porting project will benefit from this but several other open source mobile platforms that are already here[Maemo] and others to come [MeeGo], They all have one purpose bringing the end user a better and richer mobile experience which is the same reason i believe this forum was created for so...
Why not giving it a try?
up
up up up
sorry
android is a open source OS
windows mobile is not
so you can change android kernel to run on other device
windows mobile nope
I love android for this
I hate windows mobile for this
with a boot loader : you cant
and i know you don't want windows mobile on your brilliant android phone
hahaha
One time I saw a thread in the Rhodium forums where they were trying to find evidence of an Android user trying to port Windows Mobile to their phone. I didn't think it would ever happen...
Hmmm a challenge
Sounds like a great challenge, something to really upset the a few people who wander around bragging about they're "completed" operating systems (yeah right, 15 years as an IT Consultant and I've yet to hear Microsoft claim to complete anything).
Android is a PITA and not as flexible as I was told it would be - nowhere near as flexible as linux was meant to be - I wonder if its possible to go the rest of the way and compile a linux for our android phones that runs natively. Then we can really put windows phones to shame.

Well, of course it's possible, seeing how it's already been done. I don't know about your phone, but my CDMA Hero is most definitely running Linux natively.
So it's already running on a Linux kernel with a reasonable command line environment. It might be useful to compile a more complete set of GNU utilities for it.
Android is, in basic terms, just the GUI that's running on top of Linux. There are plenty of other GUIs designed for small devices with limited resources. Porting one of them over to run on top of the existing Linux environment shouldn't be too terribly tough.
The real trick, I would guess, would be getting all the hardware bits to work. Writing apps that can access the phone radio, gps, audio, etc.... All of those things are currently accessed through APIs that Android provides. If you remove Android, and those APIs, then there's a great deal of work to be done to make those things functional again.
So if you just want a handheld Linux box, that's easy. If you want all of the hardware features to work, and to still be able to use it as a phone, just with Android stripped out, then you've got a LOT of work ahead.

Maybe if you wrote complete sentences with proper punctuation, this might parse.
well am with original poster on this I for one would love and prefer to see Winmo on my hero.... I find android such a dam pain.... I have both winmo(on my kaiser) and android... But only use droid for a toy and playing games. where as I much prefer my winmo for Work and navigation... At least with Winmo theres no reliance on flippin data, Which isa pain in the butt with droid..
So come on you tech Geeks show us what you are made of...Port Winmo to hero... let us have the choice...
WM On Hero.......
say what you will about Android Vs WM but I believe WM is just perfect for me. If hero could support WM then please someone anyone help me get it on mine. I loved the convenience of WM. On my Blackstone Sync was not a problem. I get all my emails and my contacts in the same place. With Android I have to sync via G-Mail. For being open source this is a huge price for me to pay. Now I have to change my email address and redirect all my clients to G-mail so I get all my mail.
anybody recommend switching to android?

Check the activity of the Android forums compared to this one. That should answer your question. Currently Android requires some parts of WinMo to work, but I use a very small version of WinMo, ChuckyDroid ROM.
Android development is thriving. WinMo 6.x development is dead. In many ways, Android runs better than WinMo on the HD2.
winmo? people still use that junker? this thing shoulda ran android from the start...
Absolutely, go for it. There is no way you can harm/brick your phone because android is only running off the microSD. Download a few different builds and try them out. The worst that can happen is ending back up in windows mobile. I would reccoment trying shubCraft.
Well, I guess it depends on the compatibility issues of the software you use. In my case, right now, I cannot leave WinMo as of yet because of that.

No way for me
I've had the Nexus One for the last 5 months and Android running on the Hd2 is like a car without oil in the engine: VERY ROUGH
For someone who hasn't had a Nexus One yet then yeah the Android port will be fine for you and you wont know the difference but for me I can DEF feel it and it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
Lag + not everything works = I'd rather have WinMo 6.5 for the rest of the Hd2's life unless the can start making the Android versions smoother/work better.

You need to flash radio so you CAN brick
Yes BUT not yet from reading through the amount of postyers having issues with using Android on the HD2 at present is far too much,i would wait until all the problems have been rectified and everything is 100% before i go with Android.

i've got the same doubts. well and of course, i'm originally from austria so i'm wondering if there are any language packs or something like that available for the android roms. of course, i can deal with the english roms, but if i have the posibility i'd take the german rom or whatever.

actually the worst thing you can do is kill your sd card, requiring purchase of new card.
That can get expensive after awhile.

Your a wise man there nrfitchett4
I sold my Nexus One in order to buy an Hd2 for cheap off of craigslist knowing that I might never even run Android on it. I wanted to give Windows Mobile a chance and learn the basics before trying to port Android. Turns out it was the best decision I could have made since I actually prefer Windows Mobile more than Android!
People complaining about a phone they have already purchased need to get a life and better purchasing skills
I don't understand all this hype about Android. From what I have seen it's all over-hyped on the HD2. I went to the Android section expecting to be blown away by the amazing detail, features and screens of Android. Instead i've been underwhelmed and put off of Android. The Interface looks more like a step backwards about 10 years.
Where is the holy grail of Android for HD2 that is going to make us all want to switch to Android from WinMo?
Ok - I get it that for geeks Android might be the way forward as it's all open source and available to tinker with - but for people who just want a phone that works - WinMo 6.5x runs rings around Android. God help us when WinMo 7 arrives on the scene.
I understand that this may start a flaming session - but my mind is open to be converted - point the way.....show me the eye candy...
what making android not work 100% on htc hd2?

I don't know man
Not to knock solid out of the box thinking but working hard to get microsoft-born things onto Android phones... just doesn't feel right. Have you no sense of rivalry?
Now doing something along the lines of the opposite, different story.

why do we need to bring a Win7 mask? while we even better

this guy is high on some bad weed or something
I don't see anything wrong with this. He didn't say port the OS over, he said just the look Did anyone scoff at MIUI? Anyway, this really is a theme request, which I believe as already been done.
This looks like more fun

you are correct Evil
You gotta love all the Android fanbois that wince at the very mention of Microsoft. Is Ballmer really all that scary?
So tell me, what video game system do yall use? lol
Hatin' on Microsoft because you think it's cool now that you're an Android fanboy is incredibly stupid.
At first, I didn't like the WP7 interface but the more I've seen it, the more useful it seems. Don't be surprised if you see a bunch of Android fanboys go back to WP7. It already has advantages over Android out of the box - like Exchange support that doesn't suck.
I'd love to see a WP7 launcher.

I love android, don't get me wrong. I would just like a clean UI. After all that's the beauty of android it's free to customize any way you want, NO ISUCKERS.
I wouldn't bother
i would LOVE to have such a clean and cool ui for android...
no more desktop/icons from the pc style
unfortunately i have no programming or designing skills...but shure i can provide feedback and ideas

Does anyone else find it funny that the iPhone interface looks ancient in comparison to Android and Windows Phone 7?
*snicker*
I really think Microsoft has a winner with that interface. I'm not sure on the OS or what the market/developer acceptance will be yet, but I'll pick one up to compare to Android.

well actually i've studied 5 years programming in pascal and c++ languages, so i know the basics...but i've understood that it's not my job, too boring for me
sorry for the OT
I love Android and I still think this is a cool idea. Besides, why dis the man's idea
if you don't like it just don't help.
Also the other windows based theme is based off of Win7 for the desktop,
not windows phone 7.
And to the OP this may need to be in the themes section,
but we'll leave that to the mods.

1+................
Please! Make it so.
Willing to pay for a launcher that would look and behave like the N9 launcher.
it's so awesome
I would too be willing to pay for an android launcher working the same way as Nokia N9.
It would be great!
i have a couple comments on that.
firstly, being a galaxy S user, and having played with the Nokia N9, i can say that my phone, older than the N9, is far smoother and more responsive. Secondly, Meego is a bastardization of Android. The similarities are many, but very few characteristics of Meego measure up to the brilliance of Android.
secondly, the failings of Meego aside, the multitasking in the clip is certainly interesting. However I'm not sure i like the dependence on the side swipe, and the dedication of homescreens to open apps and drawer without folder functionality. It *looks* pretty good, but function-wise, i'm pretty certain that Android would piss me off less.
I like N9 idea too.Android ICS card and swipe would be a nice match.
have you looked at wave launcher which gives you webos up gesture?
That's definitely possible in Android.not sure developers want to develop.
This could be a money maker . . . I'd buy it
An enthusiastic +1 to this idea. I would love to see a project like this realized and I think that this N9-styled idea could be a solid money maker for the right developer. SPB made a killing with their mobile shells, right?
Also, think of all the poor souls stuck with no applications over at Nokia--this could give them enough familiarity and confidence to break their limiting patterns. It's really a mission of mercy.
If anyone has an idea of actions that we could take to move this idea along, or if anyone knows of any progress being made along these lines, please let me know or let us know on the forum.
Infinite flexibility shows that ICS can be whatever devs make of it.

hi, just wanted to ask for opinions if changing to another OS, mozarts wp7, would be an upgrade from xperia x10.
anyone with wp7 i need help.
did you regret that you changed OS?? from android to wp7?
or is it a much better choice?
things to consider if i change to wp7:
1. applications.. i dont have an idea about the line up of apps for wp7
will it be as many and as fun as android apps?
2. battery life
3. smoothness of web browsing and overall interface.
THANKS
Why don't you just find out yourself?
I personally wouldn't try WP7 but I got my MIUI to look like WP7, and believe me, my friends think I have a windows phone 7.
If you want to emulate the UI, just use Launcher 7. Anyways happy flashing if you decide to changge to WP7

ive tried launcher 7 with people and contact apps from wp7.. im not really just after the UI.
x10 has been an old phone and would just like to try something new.
but i need opinions so that i dont end up buying a downgrade from xperia x10
Change x10i: YES,hd7 is powerful in hardware-not too much but deserves it-.
Change android:NO NO NO,-even i like wp7 UI- android is much more customizable than wp7. i've seen some wp7 threads in XDA and was totally lost. i think developing wp7 is much more complicated.can i o/c in wp7? i won't ever give up o/c.
So if u have another choice that can run android. i recommend u the upgrade.
If not, u just keep this highly customizable phone. i never dreamed that my mobile phone will get 2 new ROMs per day.fantastic huh? I even don't know which one to use for this week.
Did u try the new MIUI? 1.9.16. DO that and you will forget all about that Old,laggy X10i which u bought one day.

ask mr. patchy patch he switched to wp7 and could give you a more objective opinion instead of a bunch of people who haven't even used it
