I think someone may have made a thread on this before but i can't find it anymore, the title says it all really ... is it possible to put some form of windows onto the XL? I like the way it looks and feels after i used a windows 7 theme from the marketplace for a while but i want the proper thing
I know the titan has windows already and some people might just tell me to buy that ... but truth is i got no money
Thanks in advance

Well there are launchers like Launcher7, which I used a lot when I had SXL.
Also you will find a lot of apps that can either been themed to look like WP7 or things like metrosms is a wicked WP7 SMS.
I don't know of any other way I am afraid.
Both windows and windows phone are propriatary operating systems. Porting them would pretty much be piracy, thats why this website would never support such a project. anyway even if XDA would allow it, would take the best devs in the world about a million years to even attempt such a task

Thanks for the replies guys was just a curiostity of mine
Edit: one other question, i can get a w7 theme and metrosms looks good as a w7 SMS but do either of you know of a w7 lock screen? I must say iv never really like the HTC unlock method lol
Edit of an edit: Got one myself just need a wp7 dialer and my phone looks completely wp7 ^^

I would tink you vould get some kind of windows running if you can get a kernel that supports looped devices, have a look at how people run full blown linux on their android devices with vnc and loop back, i use it on my galaxy tab and it works ok, dont see why you couldnt get windows running. If you have a license you could it this way legally!

Works on Android Revolution HD 2.0.7
Thank you, another thing to show off with
Does it run smoothe? This is good stuff hope we can get some devs on this and optimize it.
Pretty smooth. Takes a while to open apps but looks like it's limited to 16mb ram.
Is there a sourcecode for this to optimize it for hd
Does this mean that I can wow on my dhd?

No, it means you can run Win 95 on your DHD.
Works on CM7-PNK22.
Mouse control by sliding, double click is not always easy tough.
Can't think about any 'useful' thing to do with win95 for now but still can be something to show to your geek friends
Cooooooooool. Thx, lollylost100.

Thanks for this,
I saw it earlier today in i think the X10i thread, was going to request it and found u already had it
cheers again
Cool but cant really do much with it
Very Cool, will try it later
Lol windows 95 is dead for a reason. It sucks. Good for a nostalgic lol though.
Someone swyped my idea.
Now if we could just get the drivers for the wifi etc.. That would be so funny
Haha nice!!

Hi all.
I have been pretty dum and did not back up my device, thinking it would all be ok, however... that is never the case for me. I installed a Theme using ROM Toolbox Pro, am using 3 Musketeers Insanely Cool Sense 4, and suppose thought would have a mess around with the look, dont ask why. i just decide to do silly things..
what has happened is every app now seems to be unstable, and comes up with an error.
anyway's i do have a back up of the old theme, but for the life of me dont know where to copy the files onto my device. I just hope that copying the files back will do the trick.
all else failing i will have to force myself back into re-installing the full rom, and startijng all over again, if this is the case does anyone know how i could get into my messages ap to make a back up of all my recent messages as quite a lot of these messages are important to me. :crying:
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out.
Steve
Couldn't you just reinstall the rom.zip without wiping data, this should just replace all the system files with working ones... Make sure you do a back up though! If not just search the Play Store, there's loads of apps that backup messages, contacts, and call logs, try this one.. Here
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using xda premium
ahh good thinking, i hadn't thought of re-installing rom without clearing cache etc..
backing up things is a bit more difficult as play store crashes. messages crashes, all the system things crash..
If you want I can upload the apk to adb push it to your phone?
Edit:
Here's a app to backup your mesaages here

Thanks mate, glad to know there's always a genius in this site at all times.
I just wish i had thought about re-installing the Rom earlier, instead of rushing around trying to think of how to fix it the hard way..
all apps work and my messages are all still there.
Now i should really get back to my night shift in the office..
Cheers

Hello, I'm coming from my One XL and wondering about my bf's HTC Raider's very recent stock pushed update to ICS 4.0.3 and sense 3.6... I'm noticing HTC did the same thing with the raiders' update that they did with the One XL and horribly broke multitasking... My bf is pretty choked about it, and I'm disappointed in HTC's move to do this. I was planning to downgrade his phone back to stock gingerbread with sense 3.(1?) but wanted this community's feedback, perhaps recommend a Rom with ics and non broken multitasking?
After a quick glance, I can't see much reference to this problem for you guys.

What do you mean, broke multitasking?
Specifically - whats broken about it?
Say, he opens a web browser, then switches to music player, then back to web browser, just as one example of many... The web browser will reload the web page because the application was actually shut down when another process was initiated. The same thing with Facebook and many other apps. This is an issue very similar with the HTC One X out-of-the-box; HTC has "decided for us" that we don't need more than "X amount of processes" running simultaneously. With this said, the Raider handled multitasking extremely well pre-update with no problems at all; he could switch between chrome, trillian, music, the camera, and multitudes of other apps without any app ever needing to reflow.
I don't understand HTC's desire to cripple their phones as of late... The Raider worked beautifully and I'm disappointed to see HTC take this rout. The One X would work beautifully if HTC just screwed off with this vicious multitasking policy.
Edit: I'd also like to report that this update has also suddenly caused his phone to start overheating, too... Damn near burned my hand just holding the raider.

Apps usually get killed when the system needs to free up RAM, right? Could an app be eating up all your free RAM? Run SystemPanel Lite (free in the play store) to check out your CPU usage (re: the heat?) and your free RAM (re: apps being closed?)
Re: Going back to GingerBread. I don't know if the stock Gingerbread RUU rom will allow it to flash now that you are on the ICS update. I tried that once. It threw an error (complaning that the HBOOT fw version was not what it expected). I like ICS. Running a custom rom (Holics 1.2).

Applications are also killed (as of the Raider update, and stock for One X) after X Amount of processes are opened... Which is horrible because that even seems to include background processes... At least I think so. I'm surprised to see lots of ICS custom roms for the Raider and no reference to these issues, or any mention of this update. :/ But its definitely the update that's screwing my bf's phone.

Hypothetically, could I not flash a custom gingerbread Rom with cwm/twrp or would that cause issues? I'll see if he has any issues with a custom ICS Rom first, since this push update is so new maybe you guys haven't had a chance to mess with it yet... but IF it was necessary, wouldn't that work?

You could try searching the forums for the SUPERCHARGER script... That might help?
I know it makes minfree adjustments...
I have used it before...
Also... I don't experience the problem your talking about running MIUI...

I haven't tried it yet, but last time I used it with my One X, it didn't produce any real results since the task-killer-thingy is, I read, embedded into the newer sense framework itself or something. Definitely worth a shot though...

Under development options theres something like Background Process limit...I found it plunking around with my HTC phone. Try that maybe? Google what it does, but im pretty sure it will kill your last process if you set it to no background processes.
If you tried this already sorry it didn't work

As far as i can tell, theoretically it could be possible, but i can't find a reason why would someone do that...
Other than this, i haven't heard so far of a device to have natively Android and have a WP7 port to it, only the other way round...
And, we are haveing a shortage of developers, and the rest of us will focus on Android distribution not on Wp ones...
Hope this helps

Yup I hate it too, why they would choose that colour as standard is beyond me, that's why I will only use a custom sense 6 rom where you can change all of that.
Anyway, go to settings - personalize - themes to change it for now.
or you could root, download xposed installer and then sense 6 toolbox to change it, a bit more complicated though.
Yeah I did that I selected the thing that has black in it and a picture of a frozen um evergreen branch or some ****. But still everything I touch is highlighted in green and all of my contacts that don't actually have pictures have big ****ing square green patches on them. You know I'm no stranger to rooting and flashing. I usually end up doing it toward the end of my contract that's usually when the phone starts ****ing up to. But I love this phone so much the way it is. Trust me a time will come and overclocking along with free wifi for everyone. **** sprint they can lick my balls. It's better than a iphone but we're not there yet the fellas.

Yeah I had Viper ROM on my htc evo 3d I liked it I also liked the CyanogenMod. But to tell you the truth I prefer the stock look. But I like the overclocking and the access to WiFi sharing. You know I noticed the more and more you mod a phone it's like an addiction he keeps throwing **** from everywhere together little bit from here a new skin from there. I knew kernel from another place then you flash the radio. And then you end up with a hodgepodge. And then you brick your phone lol

Welcome to the world of wanting your device your way. Either flash a rom or redo the hundreds of xml and image changes to get rid of the green.
Well I decided to call HTC and ask them about it and I told them I've been a customer with them since the hero and then the HTC EVO 3d and now the HTC One m7 and I explained the situation and they basically told me well it's all part of sense 6 and there's no way you could take it out so you're SOL. So it looks like a rooting I will go thanks for all the support guys

Good old customer services, so customer aware and helpful
You can change the theme in Sense 6 in the Personalise menu, not that I ever did as I quite like the green but I've gone to GPe
