Never gonna happen.
You'd have to be a heathen for even suggesting such a thing
Of course it's possible, but you won't find any developer who will port it. If you really want to have Android and WM on your phone buy an HD2

Dear all,
I know that's possible to install Android on many WM phones, however I'd like to know about reverse operation. Recently there are many android phones with strong hardware in market, so it would be interesting to see how wm works on these phones. although I think most of the time new versions of microsoft software looses many basic needs and get worse than before, I still prefer WM to android. I have checked Desire HD, but its UI, i.e. android was too confusing to me!
I don't know, I know a lot of people who used wm and android and they think Android is much easier to use and provides more (including me). On the other hand I understand what you would like to know. I have a Spica and I'm curious about how it would work with WM as the older phones have weaker hardware then mine and Android is a bit laggy sometimes, but I would NEVER change my os to WM (and while developers think like me we won't have WM on Android phones).

I am not a windows mobile user but I have some general questions about windows mobile in general.
Is there 'fragmentation' in the windows mobile space like that of android ? (different phones running different versions). If so may i know what these version numbers are.
Thanks alot.
Yes and with winmo its not as stable. There might be some fragmentation with android buts all three newer android phones are at least running android 2.1. You'll find with android things are only going up with android. Meego is also another one that is going to be good once it gets out on some decent handsets.

What are the version numbers currently in the handsets in the market?
Are they all compatible with each other? (application written for the older version will also work on the newer version)
Yea I know webos is "better" os but has no apps and no onscreen keyboards.
So my question is can it be done, not if or why but can it be installed. Android
already runs on omap and I think the moto droid is simular.
Hm. I seem to be using an on-screen keyboard on a daily basis. And... No apps? Ehm. Well, I think maybe you should just switch to an Android phone and save some time, ours as well
Eventually hackers will become restles and get other platforms booting on the Pre, but for now web OS suffices.
The point would really to be to boot WebOS on other phones, not the other way around!
Oh i have no doubt that that will happen too, but hackers being hackers curiosity will get the better of them,
Mark my words, once HP release their X86 web OS platform you will start seeing it on every device imaginable.

I remember there being a small project on this before, but it didn't go very far. The funny thing is, there was a project to get Android on omap ( https://gforge.ti.com/gf/project/omapandroid/ ), but then the Droid with an omap SoC came out.
I would also love to see WebOS 2.0 on non HP/Palm Phones like HTC HD2 or Nokia N900
These phones are very good to port different OS on them.

The pre has a touch sensitive interface, and if anything you can put those buttons on the screen.

if anyone wants to experiment with a palm pre. i have one that is not in use, it's for sprint. And yeah, i would love to see webOS on other phones, would love to be able to dualboot my g2 with android and webos.
Anyway to get android in these phones?

Why not just buy an Android phone? Plus the new ones have better hardware than the WP7 phones. That's an odd request.
The straight answer to your question is you can't do it.
Answer: no
Take your Windows Phone 7, put it up for sale...
Get a Android phone and go to the Android fourms.
If there was a way to dual boot with Android, I'm sure by a simple search you would find it. Assuming that you didn't do that (there was a post about this subject just yesterday)
That sucks. Why is it the hd2 can, yet wp7 cant? I understand there on different operating systems, but developers cant make a duel booting device like the hd2?
Wasnt the hd7 tinkered with to run android awhile back?
Sorry i dont browse this section of XDA.
Sent from my I897 using XDA Premium App
The HD2 was a winmo 6.5 device, the hacking community already had years of experience with that OS. WP7 isn't a year old yet, that's pretty easy to understand.
Like DavidinCT says, sell your phone, buy Android and use their forums.

The HD2 was based on a completely different Windows Mobile 6.5. WP7 is still yet to receive a HSPL bootloader that allow custom roms to be installed or a MAGLDR-like system for dualboot, while HSPL for Windows Mobile was achieved long ago. The HD7 android is still in a pre-alpha stage and the average modder on XDA would probably brick his device trying to flash it. Seriously, if a dual boot was released, it would be all over these forums. I know it may be hard, but next time, scroll up, find the white textbox with a large yellow magnifying glass, type in Android on WP7, and watch the magic happen.
Back then, when hd2 just came out...there werent really that much smartphones with 4.3in screens and 1ghz android phones...so there was a lot of interest on developing android for the hd2...but you got plenty of android phone now with that kind of hardware and better...like everyone else said...sell the winmo phone and buy an android phone...

I couldn't find Swype available in the Marketplace. Is it available or in the works? I really like the thought of it seeing it on Android phones.

Thanks. Looks like reviews are terrible for it though. Sigh.
I used to have it on my WinMo HD2. It was more of a gimmick to me, but some people like it. I think google or someone bought the company out & made it android exclusive. I could be wrong though....

Skype did get bought, but not by Google. The problem is the WP7 doesn't officially support third-party SIPs, so Swype didn't make one for the platform. Apple has the same restriction. It's not that Swype has become Google-exclusive officially, it's just that there's no other smartphone platforms left.

Would third-party SIPs (such as Swype) be usable with a custom ROM or root access?
It's really hard to completely change wp7 standard keyboard to other. That's why even now there's standard keyboard in custom roms.
Well, you'd have to replace the keyboard binary with a different one that supports the same interface. This could be done in a custom ROM, I suspect - Swype may even be drop-in replacable, since it was meant to run on WinMo and some of the lower level stuff on WP7 has a fair bit in common with WinMo (even if the kernel is very different). I'm not a chef, though, and don't know the tricks and difficulties of ROM cooking.
Allthough I desperately hope for something like swype on WP I'd rather not have the winmo port as that was terrible. I hope there will be some real development sometime.

Search 'swype beta install'on google.
Install as non market app.
It has an ICS version too.
Its brilliant. The best keyboard bar none!

Yea well, on android, I'd agree, but... This is WP. And I was trying to say that the android-to-winmo port wasn't good, so I don't think an android to WP port would have much more success.

I had a great experience installing an Android ROM on an HTC HD2 running Windows Mobile several years ago. I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for newer Windows phones that also have good Android ROMs available?
I would like to upgrade to a newer phone from my HD2 and can't help but notice that the Windows phones are always available VERY cheaply on Craigslist. All those Microsoft subsidies make these phones very attractive for the money. I just don't want to run Windows on them.
So, which Windows phone should I buy with the express intent of replacing the built-in OS with an Android ROM?
As far as I know there aren't any windows phone devices with Android roms.

There are certainly ROMs available for some Windows phones. I have successfully installed an Android ROM on my HTC HD2 which was sold as a Windows phone. I personally wiped out Windows mobile when I installed the Android ROM. So I know that such things are possible.
The question is for which additional Windows phones are Android ROMs available?
The HD2 was windows mobile which is an entirely different thing than windows phone which you asked about. What kind of device you want Android on? Windows mobile: there a few phones with possibilities of Android with the HD2 having the best hardware. Windows phone: not possible at this moment.

Why buy a windows phone to put android on it anyway? Now I getctge nokia lumina that's things hot lol but just get a android phone

The HD2 is the best phone that can run Android when it wasn't meant to. It was shipped with Windows Mobile which is entirely different to WP. WP is very nice and if it had a better app selection I would seriously consider making a switch, but WinMo was atrocious for non-power users. If price is what you're concerned about then just buy a N4 which is pretty much a great phone (depending on what categories you look at) for an amazing price.
