Once the sensations bootloader is unlocked will anyone port WP7 Mango?

Would be super cool if people would support this phone like the HD2 (being able to run android and WM6.5/7). Just throwing it out there... Would have bought a HD7 but waiting for the software to do a little catch up. Thinking when mango is released it will be that point where it had matured and everyone would be content using it day to day.

That would be cool.
I like WM 2003 SE.

i would be interested in a dual boot if possible for sure

Would be cool, but probably won't happen because of the massive undertaking that would have to happen. Wp7 doesn't even have drivers for dual core phones..the drivers is what would make the whole thing a headache

When bootloader unlock comes I just want a GB Vanilla Rom or a Faster Sense Rom. I'm not a fan of WM7. Had the Focus and it sucked. I don't think ill ever leave android.

Launcher 7 and android is a match made. There's plenty of apps that mimic wp7 looks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

I would totally be up for that! I really like both operating systems. If the browser were just better, or there were alternative browsers that were worthwhile on WP7, I might still be using the HD7. Right up until I ended up with a Sensation.

Mango does support dual-core. the lastest spec sheet for upcoming wp7 devices says so. so the driver headache is not there...

Windows is disgustingly terrible . Why ruin an Android device with such blasphemy ?

And unless they are using this exact chipset, yes drivers are still a problem, dual core optimized or not

I wouldn't mind dual-booting both. WP7 is a great mobile OS.

I don't mind to try wp7. See what's the differences.

To answer your question: No.

Gingerbread tastes better than Mango.

I like dual core ,8mp camera, 4g , 1080p , ect

No, but its a retarded question.
As far as the OP goes, I was also gonna say no but stranger things have happened. Although obviously I was thinking of the HD2, but then who the hell would want to run 6.5 - most Sensation owners are happy with Android.

Same question has been asked already...

That new windows is closed source no?

who ever want mango on there HTC devices. should be patient. there will come out HTC eternity with 4.7 screen dual core. just check out from gsmarena.com. that is my advise.

man... the title had me confused for a minute... thought you guys were talking about this mango...
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.leetsoft.mango&feature=search_result
I was like, sure it's available on the Senny, what you talking?...

Lol.
question is, why are you using that launcher? you should ditch your sensation and buy a hd7 or some sort.

People here seem to be misinformed/trolling. First off, an HD7 is not really a comparable phone. Worse screen, processor, gpu, etc. Also, to the person that not even dual core could help windows, that had to be a troll remark. I am a diehard android user, but windows phone 7 still seems to have the same smoother user experience, and that's on inferior 2010 single core snapdragon processors.
The main thing preventing this from happening is the lack of drivers for the updated snapdragon platform on winpho7. I'm sure that when they make the move to qualcomm dual core chipsets that we use, there will be some porting attempts.

agreed. wp7 was pretty smooth on my hd2. BUT... lack of apps and open source android.
Now just waiting for s-off on my sensation and let the modding begin.

How about Web OS on Sensation?

Does anyone know.
Is it posible for WEB OS ported to our Sensation.
Thanks.

Seriously?.....

Hopefully now that HP is releasing Web OS as open source someone will pick up on this. It would be fun to have options like we had with the HD2.

What's wrong with his question ?? The only thing I see wrong is that's its in the wrong section.
I would love to see webOs on my phone its I think its possible because the touchpads hardware is very similar to the sensations and the evo 3d (which already has webos booted)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e with Beats Audio using xda premium

How about ics on the sensation.

how about no.

I know a webOS engineer got it going on an evo 3D, since that and our Sensations both have similar hardware to the touchpad, so Its not out of the realm of possibility.

So if it's possible i would like to test it in future, ICS may not come as early as some expected.

I don't think we need that junk.

Do u really need it?! I think android is much better! WP7 too. Imho porting webos - just waste of time....

Should i trade my sensation for a HTC Radar 4g?

how is the phone? i like speed better. and the camera is more smoother than our sensation. any thoughts opinions?

Non-removable battery.
No SD slot.
Single core processor.
Why step down?

Smoothness, way better battery life, and I prefer the 2.2f camera.

This man is right, you've pretty much answered it!
After looking at the radar.. it's a Windows phone, that's what you want? It's also 1ghz... 5mp camera (which also doesn't look that much better from reviews) but to each his own. Pick what you like best

If you do end up buying it, you will be coming back.

i used samsung focus before, and here what i think about window phone
*pro:
- smooth, nice UI.
- good battery life
* cons:
- web browser is suck ( no flash option, no bookmark organize ..)
- no official youtube app.
- Almost like iOS ( need Zune desktop, no real file manager , no directly download file from browser..)
Overall, WP 7 is great for normal users, not a geek.

Any more replies from ex windows user?

My wife and I both used an HD7 and while it was nice it lacked a lot of things that I got on Android. She was loving it until she lost her phone.
I bought her a Sensation and the an used HD7 and she now uses her Sensation full time.

I think windows phone has potential. Get it *unlocked* and add a file browser and a proper video player I will be down!! SOOON!!! But only if ICS(BEST OS EVER) and FLASH didnt exist LOL

I would never give up a sensation for that. That's comparable to an exhibit 2! but the camera is way better on an exhibits 3mp! If you don't have ICS on your sensation I would def suggest it. It's amazing I put away my galaxy s2 for a while because it's so smooth. Went 13 hrs with power save mode on and still had 64% left. Then again everyone has different needs... What do you truly need?
Sent from my HTC SEnsation using xda premium

I came here from WP7, its a lovely looking OS and the Titan I had was so quick, 105th quickest on WP bench. But the development is non existent! Unless you buy one of the 1st Gen ones, you cannot do anything. And if you want it dev unlocked the only way is to pay MS and with that you can only side load 3 apps!

Umm if I get it I don't really need to dev. I'm on T-Mobile anyways so no need for unlock. Still thinking

No the unlock is a developer unlock. Pretty much just allows you to install non market apps. If you enjoy the freedom of android, youl have a shock going to windows. But if you just want a nice, good looking, fast phone then go for it. To be honest, i wish i kept my omnia 7 aswell as my sensation. I do kinda miss windows but android gives so much more.

i thought the sensation has f2.2 lens also

I would stick with the Sensation... you will regret it if u choose Radar as I think that it is step back..

Is anyone else not a big fan of sense?

Or is it just me? I love the inquisition rom for this exact reason. IDK, I just don't like it very much. Am I in a lone group with this? What's everyone else's take?

i wish hTC makes their phones as simple as the galaxy nexus, that's why i will flash a "senseless" ICS ROM.

I love AOSP ROMs, not de-sensed ROMs as they contain parts of sense still in them. E.g OpenSensation, nice AOSP ROM...

that's what i've noticed on my previous HD2...i didn't try on my sensation yet, but i guess yeah, it's quicker

Sense is just a battery hog

I love sense... Probably because ive never owned an HTC before, and i really like how different it is to other android devices....
I dont think battery is that bad TBH, I can easily get 1-2 days use out of it....
Is there an HTC that doesnt come with sense (except windows phones) ??? If not why buy the HTC if you dont like sense ??

if you dont like sense you could install the aosp roms or install a third party launcher

But then what would attract customers to buy a HTC device instead of a Galaxy Nexus?
OEM's can't compete on hardware differentiation alone IMO.

That won't change the horrible Sense apps. Yes, you could root your phone install an AOSP rom, but you shouldn't have to do that to make your phone work like it's supposed it.
HTC/other OEMS should just give an option to de-sense the phone somehow. If I had a pure-Google experience I wouldn't even need to root my phone.

Again why buy HTC then. The hardware specs are available in many other phones. IMHO.

Not many other phones have 1.5GHz stock, only on the XE. And the build quality is better, so is Android Development etc.

i bought it because of the qhd screen, also i like my devices to have some weight and feel sturdy something which other manufactures seem to not understand how to do

I like sense ...its gives the brand of HTC...I prefer look/feel and performance both so HTC with custom roms is perfect for me
Coming from iphone4 I used to have cheap opinion of android (yeah I know I'm little over my head when I had iPhone4) but once I got this little beast on my hands I'm baffled (the rich looking HTC sense and powerful beast inside)
I'm more than amazed ..may be I'm liking sense coz this is my first android phone but right now I feel like sense is a must for a HTC phone....when others look at my phone they'll just know its HTC
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA

Normally I'd take AOSP over Sense any day, but these AOSP ROMs always have some large turnoff that I don't want to mess with. I've been pretty fine with Sense 4.0 though.
