Having done from a windows mobile world I hope it doesn't
Swyped from HTC Desire S using XDA Premium
Might as well install Mango on it.
having (dual-booting) MANGO on a desire s would be great but,
a) Not many people here are interested
b) Even if people are interested, no one is skilled enough to do it
c) It's not completely legal to port microsoft stuff. It's not open source like android.
don't think it can be done, and comming from a windows phone I don't hope it can
maybe getting HTC Surround these days just because of its hardware
[its gonna be my new useless media phone i guess ]

Even if someone did port, who cares? It's not like there's any demand for it.
On the flipside, I wouldn't mind vice-versa as I have alway found the Windows HTC models looked better than the Android ones imo.
Installing windows mobile on a perfectly good DS should be a punishable offence.
i have used my friend's windows phone 7 device(before i started using custom roms) for 5-10mins(i know that its very brief) & i seemed to like it a quite a bit,mostly because it seemed faster (when i was on stock ROM)
is there something im missing?or is it just that the brief time i spent fiddling with the phone not enough to tell me enough about the device?
(im just curious )

I tried it too at the phone store. I will agree its quite good. Fast and responsive. But it doesn't quite still well with me like the way Android does.

I saw HD2 running Android and w7. So maybe we can have w7 OS run on inspire too. I am not a dev so I can't port OS to inspire but it would be nice to see some devs might be interested in it. Again just a thought.

Who knows it might be possible. But answer me this. Why not just get a wm7 phone? Ive seen people asking about this and ios being put on an andriod phone. Why not just get the the operating systems respective phone?

Sure we all can buy respected OS phones but if you can kill two birds with one stone then.... We all flash diff roms every day so w7 is just another Rom.

While I agree I'm guilty of flashing a new Rom just about everyday but at the core of all Roms its still gb or froyo. Wp7 is a new os altogether. Maybe I just dont understand the desire to have it on this phone unless you like the specs of this phone over regular wm 7 phones perhaps.

There's a reason why you see an "Android Development" section in almost all native Windows Mobile phone forums. Windows Mobile seems nice, but eventually you realize that you bought the wrong phone.
You don't see a "Windows Mobile Development" section in any native Android phone forum do you?
Why. Just... OMG; why?

Lol'd at your comment.
In my opinion, Android OS is far better than W7 OS. Friends of mine that have a W7 phone, complain that it slows down and often needs a reboot.

You Flash New Roms because each New Rom is almost like getting a brand new phone every single time.
I love to Flash New Roms. I've tried just about every single android sd & nand Rom that is out there... When I heard I could flash WP7 OS to my HD2 I just had to do it! The temptation for another New, Uncharted, Undiscovered Rom was simply unbearable. If someone ports WP7 for the Inspire people will Flash it. My Roommate will be the first.
"If You Build It They Will <Strike>Come</Strike> Flash It"
it's already been done on several phones, the normal desire, the desire hd, nexus one...
So maybe it's also possible on the desire S?
I saw in a video a guy with his DHD, make the boot.img from meego launch over adb in bootloader...
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I don't like MeeGo, it's on one phone, and no news on future handsets. BUT, the only way this can be done is through a DHD port or an HD2 port.
Jup. Thats true, i got meego and ubuntu running on my friend his DHD. But when i tried it at my DS, i got stuck at the white htc screen. I'll run it again tomorrow or wednesday, with a logcat.

I don't think they support other architectures then Intel yet. But if they do this would be a nice project
Found this interesting wiki...

What do you want it ported ? Only asking, not trying to be rude, i would love to help. What does it offer above android or other operating systems ?

Well, i think there are several reasons.
1. To show what the Desire S is capable of, against other 'big' phones like the Desire, DHD, HD2 and nexus
2. There are now many many roms you can use for Android, it starts to bore a little, Meego is a exciting new challenge
3. Meego isnt that big yet, and has a lot of oppertunitys.
4. And so on...

Hi all,
wanted to know is it possible to port nokia lumia to our desire s?
Nope, windows phone is closed source so it wouldn't be 100% legal to do a port.
Legality is the least of the problems when trying to port a different OS from a phone with different HW. Most likely - not going to happen.
Thats the thing I miss most about my old HTC HD2, it could run windows 6.5-WP7 and android, or you could dual boot it with android and windows. Oh how I miss that phone, worst thing I did was sell it.
It also couldn't run any ROM properly and without bugs since Froyo.
Thanks to all... Just tried luncher7 it is quite good..

Im looking at getting an older android phone just for rooting and flashing roms. OK .... to play around with it lol... Any opinions on what I should get?
I'd recommended a Droid Incredible. I loved that phone when I had it and there are a bunch of roms out there for it.

I was kinda leaning toward the incredible. its hard to find them.

what about the HTC Eris?
No question, get an HD2. They're incredibly cheap because they came with Windows Mobile as stock, incredibly easy to flash and has the largest spanning forums of any device. You can get every flavour of Android on it from Sense to Touchwiz to AOKP to ICS MIUI. AND, if you're bored you can play around with Windows Phone 7

Just to help you decide, you should probably look at the HD2 Forums
its hard to find them. i just looked and the HD2 is pretty hard to find
I would go with something overbuilt at the time to keep up with the changing flavors of Android.
HTC incredible, definitely, it's a fun learning phone and many still work on it.

Well nothing impossible but No you wont be able to and likely never will. As others have said is closed source BUT it IS possible to run on our device but because we cannot get to sources we cannot get it to go on out device If we some how got the sources then yes it would more than likely be ported to our device. Would take a very very long time as all drivers would need to be written for our device and i cant see any dev putting that much time and effort in on a project like that
KernelDev101 is right. The hardware could run it, in the same way that any PC can run Windows or Linux (or even MacOS!), but porting Windows 8 to the phone is another story. The opposite would be easier, I mean, porting Android to a Windows8 phone and it has been done before. Somebody even tried to port Android to an old Dell PDA and it worked, but the old hardware couldn't do very much of use due to the requirements of a much younger software.
The main problem of porting Windows8 to any Android (or whatever) phone is pretty much the same as porting IOS: The source code is not available to public so you would need to do a lot of reverse engineering and trial and error and you probably would end with a version of it that supports only partially your hardware. Not because it is impossible to support it in full but because it would require a considerable effort to achieve a full working port.
Damn y'all smart Lol
