[Q] Windows 7 Phone OS on Android? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey guys.
I had a look at the Windows 7 Phone and I really like the OS. Is there a ROM or something I can download for my HTC Desire GSM that will allow it to run Windows 7 Phone Os?
Thanks.
Btw. I'm rooted.

Sounds like something fun to try at least. Have you looked at metro ui or launcher 7? They are pretty cool and look good on my nexus one.

there is a app for android to use windows phone on android but its not the windows os. am looking for it too but no luck hope you find it

If you get the HTC HD2 you can run windows mobile 6.5.x, windows phone 7, or android 1.6 to 2.3 on it. (and if you really want you can get windows 95 and windows xp going on it too..haha)
I've done all of the above with mine - works great.

Windows7 Rom on desire HD?

Hey guys,
Just wondering been looking on internet everywhere and can't find it. Can you put Windows 7 ROM from new Windows mobiles onto HTC desire HD?

I don't think it is. WP7 phones have a hardware checker or something like that, so it probably wouldn't even boot up without a lot of hacking. I could be wrong though!
AFAIK Windows 7 is only available for X86 and AMD64, so no Android phone would be able to run it even if it met the other requirements.

There are versions for mobile devices, for example I've got a gps device with windows onboard..its not windows 7 mobile but there is mobile version of win for these devices.
its not exactly as windows but has some simularities, windows 8 would be exactly the same(..so they say )

Any windows mobile 7 themes out for this phone?

would love to have the look and feel of a windows 7 theme on my phone... is their one out right now?
Not that I know of, but you could definitely use desktop visualizer and launcher pro to produce some sort of windows phone effect.
are you looking for a Windows 7 theme? or a Windows Phone 7? For Windows Phone 7 try out Metro UI or Launcher 7. WP7 is not my cup of tea but they are the closest things for it in Android.
Windows 7

[Q] Upgrade to Windows 8

Hi all,
I'm looking into buying a windows phone (found a htc 7 mozart really cheap) and I've made some extensive research on the os (I plan to start developing). However I have one question left: When Windows 8 will be released, will we be able to upgrade without having to change phones? Does anybody have any clue? Especially for 1st gen devices like the mozart.
Thanks in advance
i am sure it will, atleast the Windows 8 upgrade, maybe a bit later
else Microsoft have told about that
I really hope so. I want my focus to run Apollo

[Q] Is there an easy way to make my Android Phone look like Windows 7?

You may notice that I said Windows 7, not windows phone 7. That's perfectly correct. I have come to love Windows 7, and would love to have it on my phone as well. Is there a free, easy way to do this? How? I don't want some crappy theme. No stupid answers, please!
Hey, I know there is a Custom Rom that makes your Phone look like Windows Phone 7, but I have no idea if there is also one for Windows7..
I hardly know anything about Android, since I got an Windows Phone you might want to try it in the Android Q/A's where the Android "experts" will answer your Question..

[Q] Huawei Ascend G300 and Windows Phone

Hi to all,
several months I did not look for anything on the xda-developers because I bought new Windows Phone 7 device (HTC 7 Trophy) and it still works very good. Xda-developers web was very helpful for me when I owned old HP Ipaq 614c and here was many of great ROMs for that device. So now I have this question:
What is happend with xda-developers.com? I can not find nothing here. I do not understand the new phone operating systems and the way how to "hack" them. But now I am looking for the appropriate ROM for my device and nothing was found I bought new Huawei Ascend G300 and I want to replace Android on it with Windows Phone operating system. Is there any way how to get Windows Phone working on that device? I found only some youtube video where somebody has Ascend G300 with WP8.

PS: I hope you understand me even though my english is not very good
Sadly there isn't any real wp8 available for any android phone. The YouTube ones may be using themes. You can download launcher 8 from playstore to feel wp8 on android

**** the any louncher. I think that I should to work with android until my Windows Phone will be back from authorized service. I broked the display on it. But I have to say that Microsoft build very good system. More better than android. Stability and working with WP is more simple than with android. In compare with Windows mobile 6.x it differ in that we can not try various custom rom as easy like on older phones. Only HTC HD2 looks like universal device which can work under MS systems and android. Thats bad...
