[Q] windows 7 for hermes - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone.
dose anyone have any idea if we can find win7 for herms somewhere?coz i have checked that 6.5 its aweful i did,nt liked that so if anyone can help us all to find win7 for herms that will be nice.
regards to all xda family members

in a word...
no

That is never going to happen for so many reasons, the HD2 is the only phone with a ROM currently, but the Hermes doesn't even vaguely have the correct specs.

Windows 7 is unlikely to ever run on *any* phone, ever, period. Firstly, there is no ARM version of Windows 7 and secondly no phone would be beefy enough to run it anyway.

Hardware Capabilities are not suitable for running Windows Vista
not even the starter edition
Some people have managed to run WinXp or Win98SE
with a lot of effort and unstable
Regards!
Whaaaaaat !?!?!?! Vista lmao, who told you that or where did you read such a thing ?
Windows 95 and 98se or XP are ONLY started on an emulator, not as pure OS. And trust me, they are slow...but ...if you just want to brag, then yes, you can start Windows XP too..but make sure you start the emulation 10 minutes before you intend to show it
i am sure this person is talking about making a skin to look like vista.
Or flash a new rom from Windows Vista...but his request is ambiguous so...we are allowed to guess his questions

My guess:
He wants to throw his Wizard to Bill Gates for not having windows Vista on a mobile phone.
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahaha, Oh amazing! Vista on a mobile device... Hahahaha.
The sad thing is that there are some people out there, and I wouldn't doubt this person is one of them, that honestly think just because it has the LOOKS of an OS, that it equates to actually BEING the OS.
I have a PSP and dabble in the homebrew world a little bit. I've come across some of the biggest morons on the web who think they're installing Windows Vista on their PSP. See for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJyBAmX4VEo
The guy even mentions that it comes with antivirus protection!

i agree
my point was only these OS has been "run" at a PPC Platform
i tested once at universal (former main device) and it was very very slow, if possible and drivers available (impossible i guess) only win 3.11 will run at a normal performance

the latest WM is 6.1 (released or leaked) as far i know so you can try on that but no fancy aero stuff or anything like the visual honey of the vista
as some of the guys said you can skin your device or install a theme with a bit of vista look
sorry maybe you should get an HTC Shift the only device i know of this manufacturer actually capable of running vista
He's probably saw this somewhere. http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail.asp?id=3006

Windows Mobile 7?

Hi out there
I have used Justhome WM6,5 for some time, but im very jalous of Windows Mobile 7
Is there someone in this forum who is trying to make a windows mobile 7 rom?
Please!
/NielsenArt
jaja... funny... not men...
there are only demos and have nothing else to microsoft
Unfortunately, this will never happen.
The core OS in WM5, WM6 and WM6.x is almost identical, but not so in WM7. It will not be possible to port WM7 as you would need drivers and a kernel compatible with it. To make matters worse, the hardware requirements for WM7 are way above and beyond the hardware that the Herald/Wing has. Like the difference between Win98 and WinVista when it comes to system requirements.
WM7 is a big name. It has lots of concepts and ideas. Some versions of wm7 will work on the wing/herald. They will never be release though,lol. However, Windows Phone 7 will not work Which is what you were probably referring to.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Needed

Hello, I have been developing android for phones for a while but need to know if there is a way to port Windows Mobile 6.5 to the HTC CHACHA. I ask of this because I want to see the old 6.5 again but on a newer handset. I did like it then and want back now as well.
Please reply soon.

Are you joking? Dont do this s**t, dont put windows wher he shouldnt be.
Windows on phones is the worst mistake that MS do.
I know what you mean dude, but is it possible? I have loads of .cab files to test out on the OS and have been collecting them for years - if they work on the ChaCha I could be on to something.
The OS can be similar of that to the HTC Excalibur or the HTC Snap. It doesn't really matter which - but is it possible on the processor??
Gimme a shout (PM or something) with some other extra info (mainly how do you want the OS) and if there's any chance of taking it off an old HTC phone that I have lying around gathering dust on it. I remember having an .img with 6.5 but it got lost (prolly deleted it).
Hi, thank you for replying Alex C., i need a rom for the ChaCha in the format of the one that used to be on the Samsung Jack (it is a Windows Mobile 6.5 qwerty).
However will the ROM work on the ChaCha processor and will it be stable??
Also, the processor on the Jack is 528MHZ and the ChaCha is 800MHZ will there be a significant speed increase??
If you can get me a ROM that will boot and stable - we could open a Windows Mobile thread.
Also, you said you get something off a HTC phone - will HTC Excalibur be able to work on ChaCha.
Thanks Alex C. Please let me know soon, TechMayhem.
Don't bother wasting your time, you don't have any proprietary files, don't have a bootloader and WM doesn't have support for your phone.
Android phones use dalvik VM to load the java-based Android OS. WM is not java-based and can therefore not be booted by this phone. Only possibility is that you would mix up an WM 6.5 phone with the chacha, but I don't think you will succeed. Ever. You might try just picking up a second hand WM6.5 phone though, I don't think they cost much. And you could always try your .cab's on a emulator on your pc.

[Q] Wm 6.5 on EVO Shift 4G !

Hi Everybody !
you all know how strange it might be some requests form your boss but this is the most strange one !
My Boss has a system that work on WM 6.5 only and doesn't work on WM 7 and he requested that I should Provide him with 40 New WM 6.5 devices !
you know that they are not available currently So I figured out that I should buy new WM 7 Devices and Flash it Back to WM 6.5 !
I think theoretically this is possible but have anyone tried it ?!!!
I want to Try it on EVO Shift 4G Device , Could anyone tell me what the steps I need to do that ?
any other suggested Devices ? I only want it to be New ,with QWERTY keypad and I can install WM 6.5 on it !
Thank you all in Advance.
Evo Shift isn't a Windows Mobile device.
Windows Mobile 7 doesn't exist, it's called Windows Phone 7 and it's an entirely different thing than Windows Mobile.
Flashing WM 6.5 isn't as easy as just putting it in and flashing like a rom, you would need to write a supportive kernel with drivers and some way get the resolution changed. This would all be hand(dedicated coder) done since the parts inside android phone's are basically generations new compared to any Windows Mobile Phone.
thank you for explanation
Buy the HD2 best wm phone and you can put Android on it

You can pick up Touch Pro 2's pretty cheap. They can be OC'd to almost 1gHz. I used to run mine at 900mHz all day and night. It was upgraded to WinMo 6.5 . Later on I ran Android on it for quite a while. Dual boot Android, and WinMo 6.5 . On Android it was OC'd to 1gHz stable. So you might want ot look into that. Plus they're still pretty popular, so you can get help with them.

The problem is I cannot find 40 piece of Touch pro 2 from a trusted Retailer !
If you give Sprint a call direcly. I'm sure you could get them from thier refurb department. Might even come with a warrenty. At the very least they can probably point you toward someone who can help you. Also, last time I checked the site. They still sold them new. Been a while though.

[Q] windows mobile downgrade

Hi all.
I've had an Omnia 7 for a few months now, having upgraded from an HTC HD2, and to be honest, i just dont like it. not that there'sanything wrong with wp7, i just prefer having good old windows mobile 6.5. and i may as well be honest, i only got wp7 for the zune. and now that i have a regular zune, i was wondering if there was any way at all to flash a custom rom of wm 6.5 to my omnia 7?
thanks in advance for any information you care to share. oh and by the way im stil fairly new here (in the sense i havet used my account) so if ive posted in the wrong area please let me know and ill delete the thread accordingly.
