Hey folks,
im just asking if anyone yet tried a port of windows mobile 6.5.xx or Phone 7 onto our Nexus?

No point in windows 6.5 that is a downgrade but seven might be worth it.

Well also meego , ubuntu, or windows 98 have been kinda ported, its not that i want it 4 daily Use, but because we can!
Phone 7 might be worth a port though...

Answered something like a thousand times.
It's a closed OS, with proprietary sources. If there will be a phone very similar in specs to Nexus, which will be running this OS - there might be a port. If not - then there won't be.
I don't believe anyone with skills to port WinMo 6.5 from HD2 would waste his time doing it.

Thanks a lot Jack!

The HTC Mozart seems pretty similar to the Nexus

Yep, I just threw up in my mouth.

There is a ROM of the HTC Mozart in the WP7 thread here, in xda.

If someone with skills want to try...

Could someone direct me to the meego and Ubuntu thread? That would be fun.

I don't think anyone is interested in this, since nexus owner aren't that many..and I think the majority of nexus owners are kind of android fanboys...
Hope i'm wrong, because i'd really like to convert my Nexus in a WP7...until Gingerbread (or whatever) comes

Currently I'm on rods muiu rom and it is great. I would love to try windows 7 on my nexus though. I'm trying to figure out how to get Ubuntu without a computer on my nexus

I think that could be interesting to run WP7 into a Nexus to play a little.
But take a look at this:

If I could try this....
I know this is off-topic but, someone here knows something about Gingerbread?

Wow the new htc phones are using the same processor as our nexus ones, it seems the hardware in all the phones are generally the same as the nexus one (apart from that extra internal storage). I wonder if porting would be possible

I think that it is possible to take WP7 on a Nexus and I really hope that!
Howewer is not a mystery that the Android Community don't like Windows and Microsoft philosophy...

I like the fact that WP7 is very polished compared to android. Hope it gets ported!

Not likely to happen. MS lawyers will have a c and d on the developer, any involved websites, etc in about two seconds. Think apple stype policing of what is entirely closed source and you can bet your ass heavily defended by flocks of attorney who are paid out of one of the biggest war chests in corporate history. The way is going to be to get a windows phone with an android brother and dual boot. That will likely happen.

Android can be polished you just have to theme it a bit. At first it seems very cruel and industrial to me.

I'd love to see WP7 work on my Nexus One. If it doesn't get ported and it does work on the HD2 I'm probably buying an HD2. Then I can use Android and WP7.

Windows Phone 7 OS

Is there a possibility to run Windows Phone 7 OS on your Nexus One?

no! this shouldn't be in development section!

Asked the same today, but it belongs in Q&A anyways
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805174

Theoretically will be posible if the Windows Phone 7 device has the same specs that
our Nexus, perhaps HTC Mozart?.
Here are the ROM of the Mozart if someone with skills want to try (I published in
the other thread too).

Good luck!

+1, but wrong section
Sent from my Nexus One

I highly doubt you'll find a nexus dev that would dare port WP7. This is an android forum lol.
But, this is xda, so I guess anything is possible

Hopefully is it possible!

the day will come true

I'd say that would be the cheapest way to tryout WP7.
Wouldn't it be considered piracy then?

Would like to see this as well.

Blasphemy!

Got to love that everyone here's "knocking it before they've even tried it".

How about android on wp 7 phone? I like to see if this is possible. I want the new HTC sourround. Nice new hardware upgrade. I often use my phone as stereo.

Sadly, the hardware is the same, except for the speaker. Still want though.

Crap! I knew it would happen

I knew Android would eventually get ported to the HD7, but I sold mine! The HD7 will make an excellent Android phone, and an excellent upgrade from the HD2, because of the cap buttons. And now that WP7 is a half-hearted, at best, mobile OS, the timing for this is right on.
Thankfully I have an HTC Inspire, which is very much similar to the HD7 with cap buttons and all.

My roommate has an HD7. Please tell me someone here knows simplified Han Chinese (according to Google Translate). He would love it

i'm an HD7 user from Taiwan, and am patiently waiting traditional Chinese input for WP7.
this would be nice, but it would have to be a very complete and stable OS for me to make a switch.
IMO, WP7 is good enough for me now. Just need that chinese input, and i'm happy.

Preety Impress and sure it will rock on the HD7
But having come from android to windows, I seem to prefer Windows mobile now compared to android and may only consider flashing it if its dual boot or something
WP7 seems to have grown on me
Still have my HTC HERO for my android needs (although I just use it for flashing new roms and thats it nowadays )

dual booting would be awesome, hahaha

Holy Crap!

Can I have one too??

Im not impressed really.
These are the same people who showed us a video of wp7 on hd2 (back in november), booting from nand without magldr, but they never released anything until cotulla did it.

Android? Is that that really laggy, fragmented "operating system" which is a bastardization of a clone of UNIX, made by an Internet Advertising Company? The one that's "open source" but for which they're not releasing the source any more? The one that recently got hit by a bunch of trojan apps, and which the Pandora app exploited to snaffle user data?
Oh.
Yeah I want that on my HD7. No, really.

Not really. In the case of WP7, it turns out to be half-hearted at best. Android would be an improvement, especially on the HD7. It would be like pulling a Yugo hamster wheel out and installing a Corvette LT1.

We get it, you don't like it. XDA forums aren't for fanboys posting flame-bait. Take it elsewhere.

I think the port is done for the heck of it. I really don't see a pont to run Androind on my HD7. The biggest hurdle for me to try another OS is thelack of WP7 keyboard on those OSs. I cannot imagine typing using another SW KB anymore.

I don't really like Android that much. Now WebOS on the HD7 would rock.

I don't think I'm ever going to run Android on my HD7.

Any ways to install Windows Phone on a android device

Got this idea tonight , I was thinking about this and im sure that this as been done before , is there anyways to install windows phone on an android device such as Samsung Galaxy s. Also are there some restrictions that could make this not able to do so.
If someone knows any thread or tuts this would be apreciated.
Thanks guys

windows
till now.........we cant flash windows7 os on Samsung galaxys............why u want to switch over android........which is best os in the world.

windows for smartphone came and almost gone, nobody even noticed. Android is amazing and best.

Because windows isn't open source, like android, I think that it impossible to port it to other devices.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Not impossible, it's been ported to HD2. And other phones I believe but i know for sure Windows 7 was not meant to be on HD2

I hate windows phone os

I don't think he was asking or opinions of the OS. I think he was inquiring to see if it was possible. I to would like to try this to see or myself and not take others word for it. I will search for a solution and update this thread with what I find.
Edit: It seems that it is not possible currently. However, there are developers that are working on a solution to that problem The main problem is the hardware that was not intended for Windows that is equipped to run Android OS. Hopefully there is spark at some point. There is a lot of talk though that Microsoft is trying to bully their way into having smartphone manufacturers load thee OS and allowing the consumer to be ale to dual boot. That article can be see over at many tech blogs including Znet.

Till now, there is not any known method to do this. Android OS is the best OS in the world. Almost every application is available for android. Also it is most customisable. I would recommend you to stay with Android and install WP launchers to get windows phone like stuff/looks

It is interesting which ideas we`ve got :good:
In my opinion:
Microsoft is something for my PC @home, and Android have to run on my device ...
One of my friends have one nokia with WP7 ,looks nice and works good ,he says - but for me nothing gets about Android , but it is only my opinion :angel:
To ask the thread:
I have never heard of any way to flash WP 7/8 on Android devices ...

Only device that got WP7 and did not run it natively were the Toshiba TG01 and the legendary HD2
So sorry, not happening as it's closed source

if its possible on hd2 its possible on devices using same hardware as of windows phone trying to develop a boot loader which helps wp7 bot on our android , any who one can help us with it ???

´cause lagdroid is only for geeks who got a lot of free time

it is always nice to running multiple OS on one phone,i think we need new bootloader same exactly like cotulla has done for HD2,this sounds good to start request to cotulla,i heard he was working for MAGLDR bootloader in HTC M7,let us see

I just write all my own apps for my WP... Android OS is a little clumsy and I think it's ugly... let me know if anyone finds out how to do this... I'd buy a galaxy in a minute if it weren't for the crappy OS.

Is there a way to install lumia phone's os to android devices like nokia or other device

Wp8 on android device?

Is it possible to run an actual Windows Rom in an android device? I remember hearing about this probably a few years ago with wp7, I could've sworn people had figured it out. I've got an AT&T note and miss Windows, but not enough to permanently switch to a Windows device. Any ideas?

Never

Ignore the genius who says never. It comes down to hardware support. If you had two phones on the market with identical hardware, one running Windows Phone, one running Android, then you might be able to switch the bootloaders and operating systems. WP8 has a new secure boot which I know less about. WP7 didn't, but some of the bootloaders were still locked.
So yes, it's possible, but I don't know of a compatible Android device. The first I'd look at would be the ATIV S and the Galaxy S III, but I expect they're very different. There are a few slightly more complicated options but they're not really worth mentioning because.. developers just aren't interested.
I'm sure you could do it if you were willing to give up the rest of your life for a while. Shame isn't it? You'd think MS would release Windows Phone as a download for existing popular handsets in the same way Canonical is doing for their fledgling OS.
