Hi, I'm desperately looking for any Android ROM - Cyanogenmod, MIUI, any other - doesn't matter, I just want the Android OS on my Lumia 610...Is there any option for me? Any ROM that maybe is somewhat close to my phone and is allright to install..?
Any options at all? Thank you everyone in advance...

But it runs on hardware that is fairly common to android phones. What steps would need to be taken to get to a point where we could attempt flashing a rom from a phone with similar specs?
It would be a lot easier though to just buy a $150 android phone and be done with it. ICS or jelly bean wouldn't run too well with the 256mb ram, and the 8gb (6gb) fixed storage is pretty limiting no matter what OS you are running.
dude this is some serious development stuff. there is no step by step guide or anything.
impossible, if not, it takes a LOT of development

Have you found any?
Why you don't try just make a jailbreak?
I have a android ROM but i don't remenber frome where i took the´ROM the ideia was to make a dual boot i don't want to lose warranty
write me if you find something

Not impossible look at the htc hd2 it runs ANDROID and its a windows phone so it's possible but i don't think the 610 has this kind of development.

ROM from Nokia?
Nokia was developing Android for Lumia in secret from Elop. They were to enable installing them in 2014 when the deal with MS was ending. Does anyone have these ROMs?

Enough is Enough!!
After seeing all the weird replies and pleas,I'd actually like to answer it in a more complete manner.....
It doesn't matter the Windows phones have similar hardware like Android devices,it's mainly about the vast difference in the OS's that achieving such a feat is close to impossible........You will have to work from ground up,Starting with
1.Creating the bootloader that supports Android
2.Creating the kernel from scratch
3.Creating drivers for everything like the touch,ril etc and make sure they are compatible with your kernel
4.Finding a flashing method for the Bootloader so that you can actully flash recoveries and ROMS
5.And finally praying to God that it works
The HTC HD2 has gone through with this process,but the thing that made development easier was the popularity of the device.....before gaining it's fame as a "Multi-OS device",it sold like hotcakes(check out it's history and you'll see)....The Lumia 610 on the other hand,doesn't have that much experienced developers to back it up.....The HD2 got even luckier as the HD7 was launched,because it had nearly identical specs.....which is the reason the legendary phone also gained the gift of WP7
If you have just skipped to the end because you got bored halfway...........You don't have enough developers to back you up

Whem HD2 gets NAND port Android, will be easy to make a port to Android v3.0 Called Gingerbread? That Coming in October for the Nexus and One Desire, by rumors on the web.
I think in matter of Hardware it's possible.
What are the biggest difficulties that the Devs shall go find?
Or now that we have almost complete Android Tree, everything will be much simpler....

class 6 sd cards are faster than nand and give you more internal storage , may be the android 3.0 needs more than 512 internal to work so sd class 6 is a better choice

where is the proof, what I have seen on the thread of storage card, is the performance due to the class, is still very debatable.
but if this is true, it would be great.
I'm still with the original Storage card class 2, therefore, not whether there is enough class, 4 or 6 or 10.

Let’s not get into an argument about NAND versus SD card. (FYI, let us not forget SD card consumes more power than NAND).
Yes, HD2 will get Gingerbread. Why? Because this is frickin XDA. N1, Desire, and probably even the G1 (for some reason) will get Gingerbread…just because this is XDA and they do the “impossible”.
i think also that desire or nexus one or galaxy s willnot get the 3.0..
But if it goes for example in the new desire hd that will come in the next months mayb we can have it on our hd2 !!!!!!

I cant believe some of you are saying you dont believe the Nexus One wont get it.
It meets all the minium specs for ginger bread, some of gingerbread was demoed on it already at google i/o, and the main reason it will get it is because its the Google Dev phone!! its the phone they are testing it out on as we speak!

+1 - Google itself has stated that the Nexus One will get all future updates - BEFORE any other phones. This is not to say that other phones wont concurrently get the updates, but only that it will be pushed to the N1 first.
If HD2 comunity won't have in Developing house the Master devs that have at moment, I wouldn't believe in this stuffs port, but how they work for us, I'm very optimist they port the gingerbread.
But realistically speaking, if they give us, a froyo 2.2 stock build, like HD2 was a original Android device, for me is enough, and will be forever gratified for the Devs....
If ginger comes better, if not, no problem.
WM dies for me, in the day MS make the statement, that will not give the WM7 upade.....horse for them.....minus one WM7 embassador.......better for Android SO win a new crasy and devote fan.....( I know iPhone SO, Palm Pre, because have one of wichother in the house).

Yes they will. The Nexus is one of the first phones to get it.
The nexus one will get gingerbread for sure, no doubt at all. Meets all requirements and is the official google dev phone. Other phones with similar specs may get it as well (desire, etc). Regardless of who else gets it, I'm sure HD2 will get is, this is friggin XDA. The devs here are known to be able to do just about anything.

Yep, remember people said that froyo couldn't be done on the g1 and look what happened.
Our HD2s meet all the requirements for gingerbread anyway, our hardware is very similar if not nearly identical to some of the other phones which will run gingerbread. I can't imagine it being that hard for the devs.

That's not how it works. You need an entirely NEW bootloader. The current one is not meant to boot the linux kernel, and you also need drivers for everything for the kernel. That we don't have. So it's very difficult but somewhat possible if worked on hard enough by the right people for a very, very, VERY, long time. So chances of it happening are slim to none

I don't think it will "die", unless you smash it against a wall or something. What benefit may an half assed Android port bring to a device like this? Look at the N9, it was cracked open but Android still sucks on it nowadays. At least WP runs great on single core devices, Android on the other hand performs quite poorly on those.

Is possible to run wp on our phones ?
short answer is no, it cant
long answer is it would need massive support from WP users (there are not much of them since it is kinda dead platform and they have no reason to be interested in this particular device, tbh, there are nexuses, xperias, and htc flagships like one or hox+, why would they want dx?), also its very tricky to do that, i think only phones running originaly wp was transformed into android devices, and the one with best support for this, HD2 was after several years able to fully run android without needing wp, this phone will never be as popular as HD2 (i dont mean it bad, but long time ago, market wasnt full of different phones, there were only few of them and HD2 was one of most popular, ofc there are others transformed devices, but the point is clear...)
anyway, why would you want wp for dx?
I expected this question "Why i ask wp on dx" xD.I just wanted to try, to work with wp 1 week or more...Just to see how is it.I like the style on wp and the lumia phones style.Before to buy my DX i was wonder to buy lumia or dx.Anyway im shure that i made the right choise WP cant be compaire with android.

WP or Android
Few years ago I had a HTC Diamond2 (Topaz) phone which has Win 6.5 OS.
Some guys tried to port android on it and it was a very nice try, I remember that I tried every build on it. Main problem as I remembered was the kernel and memory management...
So even Win would be an open source the porting of an OS would be only an experience and nothing more... If you want a true WP phone you would buy one..
Hello all,
This may be a stupid question but I'm not very clear on it. I have an HTC Inspire 4G rooted and with a custom ROM and its android version is 2.3.5. I recently bought another phone that comes with android 4.2. I'm wondering if I can install a 4.x android version based ROM on the HTC Inspire since they have same level processors and the Inspire has even more ram. So far I've seen smartphones as small computers; but in the clockworldmod site there is no ROM above android 2.3.5 to download. Besides the drivers that come with those ROMs is there something else stopping this device to support newer ROMs?

it takes too much to answer specifically, but here's the simple answer:
the answer is no, you can't.
the OS is different, and even the phone, too.

thank you!
so the short answer is NO...can somebody tell me the long answer if possible?
Long answer is simple. You flash a rom built for another board and you will most likely be using your phone as a paper weight! Each device had its own motherboard if you will. Each with its own framework designed specifically for that board. You flashing a rom built for a different board is like mixing oil and vinegar

You should find Android 4 custom ROMs in the device forum.

Hello. Prompt, please, can I port android 4.4 (in this case CyanogenMod 11) in this manual ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/guide-cm11-how-to-build-cyanogenmod-11-t2515305 )? Is it even possible to port it, at least 4.0. Sorry for my bad English.
Can anyone try it?
No drivers. It is completely infeasible. Stop asking.

As silly as it may sound. I literally now have no use for my jetstream as I am fully fed up of the OS it has. I have it rooted and CWM 6.0 installed on it and flashed BMW Boy rom on it. At this point, I am willing to work with developers to come up with a custom rom for it. I will be more than happy to test it on my device if they need me to. Plus, I can provide any information needed about this device. I am getting into developing, so perhaps Jetstream could be used as an ultimate sacrifice lol.
Just rooted SGH-I317M (NOTE II-Rogers) and installed CM 11 Nightly on it. I refuse to go back to stock. Im loving my phone so much more.:good:
can we?
Is it possible to build the drivers from scratch? Even if it is not for free we can all pitch in and pay a developer. Hopefully HTC can help despite our many failed efforts. I am willing to pay to get this device up to date, it feels to wrong to let something so full of potential go to waste. Even today it still looks better than most tablets available. I love my jetstream !

Will do! Just talked to an HTC rep. She apologized for the lack of support and sent a ticket of the conversation to HTC in hopes of assistance. She is even going to try to talk to her higher ups and hope that they are generous! My hopes are not that high but i was really glad to talk to someone who was concerned with the matter. She could not even believe what i was telling her ( she never used honeycomb so i am guessing she was surprised with what we have to go through.) I hope 2014 will be different for the Jetstream. O and i never thanked you for your hard work so ill take the time now. Thank you for your assistance, it means a lot to me and the other people with the jetstream here at xda! Great work and an awesome rom!
