Hello, are there any possibilities in the future, that Android would be installed on Windows Phone?
its possible now, if you can write a kernel, code the modules, reflash the partitions then port a rom.
WP7 is much better then android. Believe me.

Hello,
I have bought the htc desire s in december'11 and I assess that I hate android and all the available custom roms so I try to get some other distribution to work on my desire s.
IMPORTANT: Please don't tell me something about the sense or how nice a chroot works, I am asking for a native installation guide.
All I want is a clean base-system (ubuntu/debian/gentoo/angstrom/...) that will boot.
Does someone know a way (howto/wiki/manpage ) to get a proper distribution to work on this device?
My Workflow:
-> install distribution
-> get wlan access to work
-> boot device with autoconnect (wlan) and sshd (openssh or dropbear)
-> connect via ssh and get an graphical frontend like X-server to work.
best regards

Why did you buy an Android phone when you hate Android?
Anyway, are you planning to use the phone to make calls?
If so, you can't use any standard Linux distributions.
If you do some googling you should be able to find a guide to install Ubuntu and run X on it.
I think there's an official version for dual core phones, but unfortunately that does not affect this phone.
Ubuntu doesn't run native, but through chroot.
There are no native installation guides.
If you can remake any distribution to have 4MB kernel and load everything from another partition - you can try to make a native installation yourself. Look at the mounts in loaded system, look at the kernel code and see how you need to compile one, and make it.
Otherwise - sell the phone and buy something else.

The reason why it is called 'rooting' is because Android is based off of the linux operating system. In the linux world, the 'root' user is God. The 'root' user can do anything that they want to.
I believe there are ways to gain access to the system files on a Windows device, however I'm not sure if it can support actually running Android. The drives and modems would have to be written in order to support the custom software. It would be a lot of work. Google will be your best friend on this one.
I certainly can run android... prob is the drivers. The connection between hard and software would need to be rewritten. Without support of the producers of this phone virtually impossible.
I was wondering if there is a way to test a rom on a pc....like in a virtual machine. Just to see how the UI looks, how the functionality works, etc. I know I have tried running ubuntu on my machine in a VM, but I am not sure if there exists the same setup for android.
Are you asking about ROMs or apks? There should be a tool within the Android SDK (Android Emulator) that allows you to emulate an android device, so that you can test your apks.
Hello everyone,
Most phones have the same architecture/setup etc, Isn't there a generic Android OS available that can be installed on to any phone?
A generic OS that can work like MS Windows - detect hardware on any phone and install the necessary drivers etc from a database (hypothetically).
Where all the procedures etc is done for you, and would give you a fully functional clean OS/phone.
Dear all,
i am no developer. My knowledge of how android os even works is zero. I am but a simple android phone user. While using an android phone, I find myself wondering as to whether the stock/vanila android operating system can be modified such that it
1) has a termux-like terminal but with the capability of giving the user temporary root access something like in ubuntu
2) is possible to install it using a bootable flash disk instead of flashing only.
I hope that android developers can kindly let me know as to whether the above is possible or not.
With regards
