anyone involved in porting windows phone to htc desire s??? - HTC Desire S

anyone involved in porting windows phone to htc desire s???
Is it possible for Desire S???

Its pretty much impossible mainly due to the fact that wp7 is closed source.

it is not just a theme but a complete rom with miui in its base.
i didn't try it but it looks good!

Surely two important questions haven't been asked here?
1. Why would you want to? Android has more free stuff and is much most customize-able
2. Why not sell your desire and buy a windows phone?
As previously stated if you really want the user interface of windows mobile there are some GREAT wp7 launchers and themes and widgets to get the user experience. Heck there's even a wp7 messaging app on the market.

i personally would like to see a wp7 port.
anyone knows if it is possible trough dual boot (or something)??

as already stated it's not possible cos windows phone 7 os is closed source.
That would make any rom warez and illegal here or anywhere.
So no it's not gonna happen. Use one of the roms already mentioned or check out launcher 7 on the android market. You can make your android phone look exactly like wp7 anyway, alternatively just get a windows phone?
Personally I don't see the fascination. The wp7 operating system offers nothing android doesn't and much more. To quote penny arcade "your user experience will be greatly reduced".
The only thing is offers is a nice UI which launcher 7 offers at a very reasonable price.
Seriously, search launcher 7 on the market. It even has animated tiles. There's wp7 keyboards, messaging apps too. And the wp7 apps bundle including some nice hub style apps are free right here on xda.

I tried doing what you did with just a few alterations but there are some problems. Firstly I constantly get the message that Google text to speech is not working, the launcher won't load until I lock and unlock the phone again and the camera application tends to crash. I'm not sure if this is only me or you are affected by it.

[REQ] Windows Mobile 7 UI for HD2

I think the biggest difference between WM7 and WM6.5 is UI. Picture Gallery, Zune Player and XBox Live aren't a big goal.
I hope somebody can modifie SPB Mobile Shell 3.5+ or write a new UI and we'll see WinMo7 UI in our WinMo 6.5 devices
well if WM7 does come to the HD2, this won't be needed
but i'd like to see this as well, if possible!
WM7 with htc sense, one like in android with loots of cool widgets, spb mobile shell lacks lots of widgets.

I belive HD2's are supposed to get a free upgrade to wm7...?
We all know what Microsoft are like tho, if there is any way they can squeze any money out of us, they'll try
Wanted to ask, will it run ok on the HD2 when its released? I've heard thats why they've beefed up the new US version (basically everything x2 plus 16gig on board mem ect..)
Any ideas anyone?
Hello There,
if WM7 UI avaible for WM6.5, we'll have all cool things of that two OS.
WM6.5's Multitasking and customizations + WM7 UI (ohh sorry... does WM7 has good things except UI )
SPB is launching MS 5.0. Saw its alpha working, pretty amazing 3D quality desktops and loads of widgets. They are skipping 4.x releases.. Expect something in May....

From what I understood from the webcast conference from the Barcelona mobile event was that WindowsPhone7Series has been re-written from the ground up. All brand new code designed to run on the specific hardware that Microsoft has required for partners to be elidgible.
I may have mis-understood <shrug>

actually, they're not exactly "skipping" the 4.x release. They just skip the number 4 because it's bad luck in Asia.... But really, really looking forward to MS 5.0!

Well, would be easy to just put a fullscreen pic of wm7 on the hd2 and take a picture though :/. Smells fake?
Indeed bluebird!
I now realize that (i) the homescreen that was displayed yesterday on Microsoft booth is not even exactly this one.... and more importantly (2) in Barcelona 3GSM where this phone is supposed to have been spotted there is no '3G T-Mobile NL' network!!!
Not to mention the fact it says Foto's instead of Pictures

I'm not sure this install includes the apps, like Allshare. After reading and then searching,i didn't see any references to it. It looks like its just the shell. Can anyone confirm? I would hate to add any more bloatware if I don't have to. I only want Allshare.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Correct its basically just the launcher shell
Its the fully working launcher, if your saying it does not have widgets your correct but no launcher comes with widgets. I know the guy its working on getting the widgets working as well.
I like rosie and the widgets the best my self, but the launcher works well but way to much like a iphone for me.
I can't install any of these without getting an application not installed warning.
Is there a work around?
confirmed... the launcher works fine on the evo. kinda plain with just the message and app icon on the bottom but the app drawer is nice. time to jazzy up the home screens a bit
Im with u....keeps giving me the same errors. do the phone have to be rooted or something

Any way to add more than just the message and app icon?
yea i really need a link to phone if im going to use it at all. exited for the widgets though.
note for anyone switching between this and other launchers, make sure you close this one when switching back if you dont reboot your phone, it will drain resources and battery.
Yeah its easy to add more icons to the bottom as seen in these pics, just while app draw is open hit menu/edit and drag the icons down and also you can re-order the apps as well.

Fede's music app now in Beta 1

Hi all, just happened to check on the progress of Fede's music app and its now in beta and available for download.
Current version: Beta 1
http://www.ubermusic.com/apk/UberMusic-Beta1.apk
Change log
Beta 1
Note: The user interface is now driven by the new skinning engine. I'll be releasing all the details on how to make skins as soon as I'm finished writing them (will take some time). I think this app has the most powerful skinning engine on the market right now.
The official/default skin drops the WP7 look, but the skinning engine is flexible enough that it can be made to look exactly like the previous Alpha versions through skins. If you want the WP7 look back, you'll have to wait until someone releases a skin for it (which I'm sure won't take long once the details on how to make skins are released). The Beta versions have a different package name than the Alphas, so they can coexist in your device (you can install the Beta without overwriting the Alpha).
Also, I've started a Crowdin.net (collaborative transaltion) project for UberMusic. So if you'd like to see UberMusic translated in your language, feel free to head over to the project page and submit translations/corrections or vote for the best translations.
Changed the disable lockscreen option so that it only disables the lockscreen when something is playing. It should also work even if you leave the Now Playing screen, but it's not failproof.
Changed the layout of the Now Playing screen on LDPI devices so that scrolling isn't necessary.
Improved the track seeking functionality of the progress indicator. You can now click anywhere on the indicator to seek to that position.
now I realy start liking this app. detested the wp7 style. I'm in love with the 'lockscreen-thing'
GO FEDE!
I miss the wp7 thing :-(

i love LP and I want to love this too .... but .....
The previous (alpha ?) version looked good and quirky but was too buggy (using it today on the train on 'shuffle all' and it kept just stopping). This version just looks a little too bland
Just my humble opinion tho
I am really liking this music player as it has eliminated some issues experienced while using my parrot kit in the car while streaming music. Good work on this one Fede.
PS: hurry up with launcher pro re-write
Will there be an equalizer?

What the Facebook App would look like with the Holo Theme

Hi,
I wasn't very satisfied with the look of the original Facebook app for Android: mostly because it still doesn't follow the design guidelines of Android 4, even though ICS is already over a year old. So I decided to redesign the facebook app by myself and want now to share my results with you. You can find them in the attachments section (2 Versions, i couldn't decide with is better). Tell me what you think about it, I hope you like it
If you want this pictures in a higher quality or in the .xcf format let me know.
Download Link: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7Xo_jDGP2MvYUxaVGpMRkR0ME0
actually ICS is not a year old yet. It was introduced in October 2011, and the Galaxy Nexus released in November 2011. Also I don't think it looks to good.
Interesting concept, I think I'd prefer an app similar to google+

I'm not sure if you got this but it's just a design concept, not an Facebook app, but yeah I can upload the gimp and the high resolution version .

Sorry , my fault. Is there a possibility to put the Holotheme into the official Facebook App?
Sent from my LG-P700 using xda premium
I'm sure it's possible but you need a some serious skills if you want to change the complete layout of an app and unfortunately I'm not able to do it. But you could ask a developer if he could develop such app
P.S.: Download Links for High-Res Concept Images + gimp-Files will be up soon.
EDIT: Done. See first Post for files.
I found this thread via Google... I have designed (NOT written) a HOLO-themed Facebook app myself. It's just a concept, although if someone is interested in making this app I wouldn't mind him contact me
I'm sorry for the large image, but it's the only way one can see all the details (and I wouldn't know how to make a thumbnail... not at 1:42am anyways).

Thank you! I find that myself, too. The current Facebook-app doesn't match the ICS / JB HOLO theme and isn't that quick either. It really decreases the quality of the user experience.
However, since I don't have any knowledge of building apps whatsoever, I am afraid it'll just remain a concept - unless or until some developer wants to help me, that is.
Very nice concept!
Yeah, if somebody out there would develop, it will be very polished and neat. Goes along well with ICS, JB and above I believe .
Fast for Facebook

This thread will probably be closed down at some point since iOS threads aren't allowed on XDA, but until then I think it's ultimately a MIUI/Windows Phone cross which looks... underwhelming.
Well, at least the UI does have some elements which are better than in any Android OEM UI or Custom UI I have seen,
The notification bar is transparent and many other bars,windows and so on seem to be transparent like in Windows 7 Aero (Which the idiots in Microsoft choose to remove in Win8)
The black bars,black on screen software keys in stock android(Devices with on screen soft keys) are ugly. I see a lot of visual improvement that Android could make to look better
