can any one plzz help if i can i put windows mobile on my motorola A1000. i'd appreciate suggestions and ROMs
cheerz
No, it's a Symbian OS phone with a totally different architecture and screen resolution to Windows Mobile devices.
Also, unless Motorola developed a build for it, nobody else would have all of the necessary drivers etc to make it work.
Windows Mobile isn't a generic OS that can be installed on any device, it is built on top of an embedded platform specific to device hardware.
where can i get the latest symbian upgrade for it then..........its locked to three network........i wanna DE-brand it and put on a new symbian OS so it can accept other sim cards
cheers
I have no idea, this site is for XDA devices, mainly Windows Mobile, but with a few able to run Linux.
Perhaps if you look for a Symbian UIQ forum?
What you're looking for is:
www.allaboutsymbian.com
I think from memory they have dedicated A1000 forums.

Hey
Does anyone have any information, including pictures if possible, of the new windows mobile OS, Windows CE 6.0?
On some reviews it states that you can find out about it at www.microsoft.com/windowsce but it looks like Microsoft have rearranged their sites... this just leads to the CE homepage, talks about 5.0 but no other.
I know it's not out yet... apart from the VS Dev tools, but was just wanting to see an insight before its eventual release.
Cheers!
I am very interested in seeing this too. I have seen many threads about creating custom ROMs. I would hope that if this OS has all MS promises, that someone would create ROMs for the phones in this forum based on the new kernal, if possible. Licensing issues aside...
Is this "hot" OS will be based on Real time system?? I too want to know more about it.

If anyone knows where I can get/buy this beta release, that would be great
The site gives a link at the bottom for more info... but that redirects you, and I can't find any info there... :-(
You know that Windows CE and Windows Mobile are Microsoft's names for two different products now, right?
Phones don't and will not run Windows CE.
Also, I read that Microsoft is seriously behind the competition with development of a real-time OS, such as would be suitable for handsets that use a single chip for radio and a main processor. Like, it's 18 months away, at best.
Meanwhile, SE and Nokia already have single-chip phones on the market, running a real-time version of Symbian.

Are they? I was reading a review from Microsoft's own site saying that Windows CE 5.0 is also known as Windows Mobile 2005; and that the next version (it gave a codename but I can't remember it) will be Windows CE 6.0. ???
CE is the core
which mw is based on
so it's not the same
but they are connected to be sure
i was just wondering if it is possible to put Windows mobile on the Centro wich runs on the Palm OS by ACCESS 5.4.9.
I don't think older Palm devices have the capable hardware to run WM... could be wrong though.
Even if the hardware was capable of running the OS there is no chance of getting the drivers for this device so there is no way to put WM on it.
For any device to support windows mobile someone needs to write windows mobile drivers for every piece of hardware in that device.
there is a program that is call styletap it launcher you can run palm on window mobile it i expensive but it good
Styletap lets you run programs written for the Palm OS on a Windows Mobile device.
It will not let you install Windows Mobile on a Palm device!
Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is anyway to change my OS from WM 6.1 to the new Android 2.0 OS. If you can give me any in site on how to do this i would greatly appreciate it thanks.
In some devices you can run android on top of wm. But some functionalities don't work yet. Go to your device's subforum and search if someone started the port process.
Check for a forum for my device and there is one so i just posted the same question in the smartphone general forum. I dont want to run android on top of WM i want to completely change from wm to android.

That requires a new phone.
I had a look at Android first by running it on my HTC Diamond but it is incomplete. I liked what I saw so went out and got an Android phone.
Android is loaded by running a utility called Haret which somehow manages to reboot the phone into Android replacing WM. When you reboot again it goes back to WM. Without knowing which phone ou have it's impossible to know if that is possible for you to do. Look at the Wiki section of this site specifically for your device.
i am running a samsung i910 omnia from verizon wireless. I like windows mobile but i love the android system. The wm allows you to use more technical stuff where as android is more fun.

If your device is elf (in) here's the link for Google Android Wing Linux http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554479

Ive seen the android on HTC windows devices, via 3rd party, SD cards, etc.. Is there an opposite of this? Is it possible to run windows on an android device?
(example: Windows 6.1 on an HTC Hero).
Welcome to the forums!
To answer your question:
No that's not possible.
As far as I know, the windows kernel code is not open-source. So it's not easy to port it.
Android however is open-source, so it's portable.
Hope this answers your question.
I want an Android phone 4.0+ cool modern phone... But I want to dual boot a Windows 6.5 OS on the same device? or Windows mobile 5.
Is it possible??
If not...I may have to give-up supporting these ancient win-mobile apps. A particular app I want, will also run on the real Windows 7/XP/8 (non-mobile) If that is another option at all, to dual on a phone. I also don't want to spend too much.
Edit: I realize on this site there are threads about dual-booting, especially under certain models. But they appear to be older, and I can only find them for Android 2.2 (froyo) I don't see anything modern. Is it more difficult now?
