[Q] Windows Phone on Streak?

No one interested in porting Windows Phone 7.x to the Dell Streak?
Trigger for me is the perfect working port on the HTC HD2, where both Android and Windows Phone 7.x are running. On this phone the Windows Phone version realy runs smoothly, far more better than the Android version.
My conclusion would be that since Android run smoothly on the Dell Streak, Windows Phone should really fly on our device!
So, is it (im)possible?

it is not that we dont want to port.. but the thing is no working driver for streak 5... so... you have to understand this...
Well, was worth to try. Just couldn't imagine the impossibility since the HTC HD2 is able to run both. But the lack of working drivers is indeed a valid point. Well, I'm happy with my DSC 1.4 on my streak, so sticking on this version.

I like your post! I was a die-hard "win-mo" every since my first htc tilt. But when the tilt-2 whipped my รคลก$ after 3 replacements I swore off and went to "Stepford Mens Association" and was cloned into an android and loved it every since! Never in a million megabytes had one decimal of interest in crapple phonage. But would like to see your idea in action. Cool !

you cant compare device that come from default windows vs native android you know... there also licensing issues might surface up whenever we involve ourselves in windows product you know.. that includes the driver.. you know those giant really have no mercy if it does not profits them :silly:
Hahahahaha......when you post the rom then microsoft will send you a legal letter.

Licenses are the least of the issue, it's all drivers.
The HD2 and the tsunagi are the only non WP7 devices to get WP7, do you want to know why? Because microsoft and HTC/Toshiba made the drivers as those were the devices they used when they were initially building WP7.
The HD7 is basically a HD2+WP7, but they're different enough that the HD2's cam still has issues (or so I hear).
The only (realistic) way you're going to get WP7 at this point is to build a time machine and go back and convince dell to convince MS to reuse the S5 as a WP7 device in the same way the venue/venue pro are a pair.

[Q] tablet buying questions

I am looking into getting a android tablet for my upcoming school year. I currently have a dell inspiron 1521 as my main work horse machine for the school day and i have a dell optiplex 745 at home for a desktop, both run windows 8.1 and i am happy with them. However, i find a 15 inch laptop to be cumbersom at times. I also carry around a samsung galaxy player 4.0 running cyanogenmod 10.2 and it works fine, yet a 4 inch screen is a bit small. I want a quad core tablet with a snapdragon processor like the new nexus 7 but the problem is that i am weary of all of the touch screen and gps problems. is there another tablet out there that people would recomend over this or is there a bug fix in the works taht is coming out very soon.

[Q] Strip down Ubuntu Touch for server application?

My Nexus 4 has a broken digitizer. Instead of fixing it or selling it out, I figure I'll use it as a server since it has better specs than some of the Android-on-a-stick boxes out there. Ubuntu Touch installs without a hitch, but on start already 1.3Gb of RAM is used, and occasionally it would shutdown for no apparently reason. What packages can I uninstall to strip it down to a more stable, server-like, GUI-less environment? I don't need Unity etc. etc.
Alternatively, does anyone have experience installing ARM Ubuntu server on the Nexus 4?
I'm looking for broken N4 or N7 myself. I will connect it to tv as media center. Another thing is canonical has plans for ubuntu tv so nexus on big screen will look same good

For Lack of Working Linux . ChromeOS on Dell Venue 11 7130

I have tested several Linux Distros on Dell Venue 11 7130 and most seem to have issues which are unsurmountable.
Now I am looking to see is any ChromeOS is worthy of full 2 in 1 support on this model. I need it to work in Tablet mode and Laptop mode.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Like what distros? I'm not a linux expert, but I do know deft8 (italian police OS) deft zero, parrot, kali, and well.... maybe try an OLDER distro, mb your distro's are too 'new'?

I've just acquired one of these tablets this week, gifted from a friend. I have managed to get Debian Testing (KDE) running quite nicely on it (took a bit of work!). Touchscreen is working, wifi is working, although that took a bit of hack and slay.
I downloaded a copy of the latest PrimeOS (Android desktop system), which I found worked quite nicely. Wifi and sound worked, I have yet to test Bluetooth.
For wifi, I actually had to "borrow" the ath6k firmware from PrimeOS, and pop the firmware drivers into /lib/firmware/ath6k on my Debian installation on the Dell. The wifi works, but is a bit tetchy (it tends to drop out after an hour or so, and the only solution is to reboot the tablet altogether).
I'm trying to figure out how to get Bluetooth and sound working. Will post more later when I have a bit more time.
