Hey all,
I know this is another one of those "can my phone handle WP7" threads that we all HATE to see but, My TP2 broke and Asurion is offering me a LG Fathom. After looking over the specs, I am wondering why it would not be capable of running Windows Phone 7.
It's got a smaller display but, it does have 1ghz snapdragon processor and very compareable to a HD2 (accept a lot smaller), it's newer than the HD2 and from the factory come with 6.5.3.
Has anyone attemped or thought at putting Windows Phone 7 on it ?
In case anyone has a broken TP2 and has the Insurance, they have no more...
We have one of these lying around in the shop as well, and would be nice to have as a WP7 development device. Anyone have any thoughts on the porting?
screen it is not multitouch, disregarding processor capabilities...
Regards!
Could an android device have wp7 ported over to it?

In theory it should not be a problem if the device in question has a WVGA screen, Snapgragon chipset and 512 or more MB of RAM. In practice you will need a compatible bootloader and so far only the HD2 has one....created for the occasion.
On the HD2 it's done the following way:
1. The original bootloader is hacked, so you can flash any unsigned stuff you may desire.
2. A second bootloader is flashed that goes in the chain after the original hacked bootloader.
3. For WinMobile 6.5 you use the original bootloader. Android and Windows Phone 7 are flashed and booted by the second bootloader, which is a completely custom creation.
You will need something like MAGLDR on the HD2 for any device in order to get a second OS running as the original bootloader will probably not support the needed partition layouts etc. Other than that every Desire, Nexus One or similar device should be perfectly capable of running WP7.
specifically, I want to know if it'd be possible to put android on the 'lg rumor touch' (for virgin mobile). i don't know what interface LG is running or if it even has the hardware capable to run it but am curious if it's possible to load android on these mid-range devices that are not really smart phones?
Hi all,
I would like to install Linux OS onto an Android tablet, but am not sure which tablet to buy?? (brand/manufactures, processor, RAM, storage etc?).
I am looking at a 7" screen ideally, and as I'm on a tight budget, I can't spend more than about $70 for the device.
I will also be adding a wireless keyboard, so as to maximize on the screen size.
Also, I understand that I will need to 'root' the device.... so I ideally need to buy a tablet that is known to be able to 'rooted' ...?
Which version of Linux is the best for Android tablets? (my main objective is to be able to successfully install & run Linux video-editing/movie-making software, such as OpenShot...?)
I had a PendoPad tablet (7", Android OS Version 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwhich), and it was very good for the price. Has anyone used such a tablet for this...??
Any help would be much appreciated
Hello!!!
I just found an old Tab-72 maxwest tablet by a company called telecom. it has an android 2.1 OS which I want to seriously upgrade cause it has some strange bugs in it.
It has a built in HDMI port, USB port and other good things for a tablet so old. I think I can even make phone calls with this thing.
I just want to know how I can Fully upgrade this thing as far as I possibly can.
Thanks!
AO!!!
