Windows mobile on the htc sensatiom

Hi everybody i am wondering if it is possible to install windows mobile 7 or 8 on the htc sensation. Or is there just to much diff between the operating systems?

I guess you haven't used the search button much.....
No you can't install windows 7,5 mango on your HTC sensation, as it ins't a public source, but you can install the launcher called "launcher 7" which makes your Sensation look like windows phone.

Short answer: No.
Longer answer: You can't because it's closed source, has completely different drivers,...

the only reason why it worked on the hd2 was because the hardware was very simillar to the hd7. therefore the drivers neede to run on the hd2 were already written. as for our sensation there is no drivers at all written to make windows mobile 7 to work. unless drivers are written or another phone poops up with the same exact specification as our sensation than it will work.
it takes to much time to write the drivers for it to work and i dont think any of the devs will take their time to do it. just my 2cents

dont even respond to questions when you have no idea what you are talking about,... it wastes peoples time

Actually, i'd love to see that happen.
WP is something to look out for for anyone who is seeking integration of things. SkyDrive, hotmail, windows. Google services are still too independat from each other. Tell me, who needs messenger(huddle) on android if gtalk can be for it? There is too much segretation withing google itself, i do have a feeling that microsoft might do it quite a lot better.

I use launcher 7 and I like it a lot. It won't give you the full experience but it will fool people at a glance.

lol the hd2 is a WM phone..maybe he is talking about android which is a different story..

I really don't want to se Wp7/8 on the sensation.
With all the problems with MS Windows, i can't imagine how ****ed up the mobile OS will be.

Its nice to have the chance of trying more than one OS in a mobile, thats why a lot love Htc HD2

+1. I also have a HD7 with me, bought a Sensation cause i needed android function, but still i still like the wp os, it's butter smooth, never stalls and just perfect thing as a phone (unless you are a dev.)

I don't know what you guys are talking about but Windows Phone 7 runs fine on my sensation, i dont recommend running mango though because it is a little choppy.

I guess everyone doesn't know that Windows is closed sourced and it's illegal to port it to other phones that weren't orig winmo related....Only phones like HD2 can use WP7, a Android phone can't legally run WP7....So this question of Windows on the sensation can be put to rest forever.

Quoting me for your post made absolutely no sense so I don't know what you're trying to say. What I'm saying is people that believe windows phone 7 is on the sensation are gullible.

[Q]About Windows phone?

I'd like to ask that
will Windows phone probably running on HTC Sensation?
Since WP7 is so smooth and fast,
I'm really get interested in it though

This is a new, refreshing and interesting question that no one has ever asked.

Hi,
WP7 will not run on a Sensation.

Curious to the reason as to why? Is this "impossible"?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

It is illegal
Android is open source, Windows isn't and needs a license

Hi,
WM is not open source.

Nevermind that then... Always worth a question... Grants knowledge

windows 7 or 8
The illegality isn't question on this site - or does it? You can find lot of devices which has windows ROM different than the original version. These devices has licence only the original version of windows, so I think that is same illegal.
Well, the question is: has any physical limitation (drivers, hardware) of this development? Anybody start to work on this curious job?

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)

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.

i think itll be great
got to play with the touchpad some time ago and webOS is pretty cool,
multiboot sense, ICS, MIUI and webOS imagine that!

To tie you over go and use launcher 7

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.

To everyone that trash talks webos, I assume you are all windows or Osx users for your desktops/laptops?

I'm guessing most of the haters haven't even tried webOS. webOS is a great OS and I would love it see it on my sensation

i smell some android fanboys here.

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

[Q] HTC Sensation, WP7?

Is it possible to port WP7 into this device?
I know WP7 requires a single core to support it. Maybe we can reduce one of the cores and make the ROM believe that it is a single core??
And please don't say, "get a WP7 instead".
I just want to know if its possible and the reason for the same!

I prefer android and I don't think WP7 on sensation will get a lot of support.
Also if you want WP7 why did you buy an android phone?

Want to switch! Just for a while.

Try themeing or this launcher to get your fix lol

I too would love to run Windows Phone 7, my cousin just got a lumia 800 and the OS is so slick! I prefer the Sensations hardware though. On a serious note, WP7 doesn't support our qHD resolution or dual core processors yet.

launcher 7 is great. It took me a while to customize it the way I wanted, but now its way sexier (with my custom tiles and koi live wallpaper) than plain ol wp7. Plus I get the freedom of android.

Yeah that's an issue too.
You can reduce pixel size. Watch Brandon's (TechnoBuffalo) video on how to do it.

[Q] is it possibal to port nokia lumia to desire

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..
