Q wm 6.5 on a htc 7 pro

i upgraded my touch pro2 to the htc 7 pro. the specs meet my needs but none of my old software will work. such as tomtom, smartwatchm, etc. is there anyway to install an older version of windows moblie such as 6.5 but with all the correct drivers to make all aspects of the phone work?

No. Lesson here is to always research before buying a phone!

Possible to debrand?

Hi there
I've got an imported O2-DE HTC 7 Pro flying across to me and I dislike the whole O2 look of things and was wondering if I could debrand.
I've seen the methods for the HTC mozart and wondered if they'd be similar if I used an unbranded ROM for the Pro.
Any input is appreciated seeing as I left WinMo back in the days of the HTC Touch Pro which I liked but didn't get on with due to the keyboard and resistive screen.
Cheers
p.s I searched but found nothing mentioning the pro.

Anyone? Is it possible to use the same method as the one used for the Mozart with the Pro roms?

You can install HSPL and customROM.

[Q] Upgrade to Windows 8

Hi all,
I'm looking into buying a windows phone (found a htc 7 mozart really cheap) and I've made some extensive research on the os (I plan to start developing). However I have one question left: When Windows 8 will be released, will we be able to upgrade without having to change phones? Does anybody have any clue? Especially for 1st gen devices like the mozart.
Thanks in advance

i am sure it will, atleast the Windows 8 upgrade, maybe a bit later
else Microsoft have told about that

I really hope so. I want my focus to run Apollo

I'm going for the Mozart than. Thanks for your replies.

help needed: nokia drive on HTC 7 Pro? How to unlock the HTC 7 Pro?

I "re-animated" my HTC 7 Pro by replacing the digitizer and upgrading the internal memory.
It worked and the phone is just great with its keyboard.
After my HTC 7 Pro broke some months ago, I bought a Lumia 800. Great phone but I miss the keyboard, that's why I tried now to repair the old HTC 7 Pro.
What I really like with my Lumia is the NOKIA drive - just perfect, but the phone has only a poor battery life when doing the traffic navigation.
The HTC 7 Pro has a better battery, that's why I would like to use if for traffic navigation.
Is there any way to install NOKIA drive on a HTC 7 Pro?
It is a standard (Swiss) HTC 7 Pro, unlocked (all sim cards work) and it has all HTC updates.
Do I need to root the phone? How does this work?
I would like to keep the operating system like it is (it works great) - thus, is there any chance to convince the phone to install the NOKIA drive app?
I am a nweby with all this flashing/rooting/... stuff. Any information, background knowledge, guide (for the HTC 7 Pro) would be really great!
Thank you in advance!
Best,
Peter

Using dev-unlock, you could install the Nokia Marketplace XAP (see my signature) but the Nokia Drive app, although you could install it, would refuse to run on your non-Nokia phone. With full-unlock (i.e. custom ROM) you could either trick it into running (I don't know if this is safe, but it's possible) or install a modified version of the app (which is technically illegal in much of the world but pretty common), though.

i dont get it, it must be because i m a newb. i read news saying nokia drive is now opened to other windows phone 7. i just downloaded the nokia drive 3.0.0.0.xap (although no idea yet what to do with it .
i also read that availability on windows phone will depend on phone maker decision.
could you please be more specific about "tricking it into running", or how to get and obtain a modified version of the app?
i m very surprised that i did not find more threads about installing this very good app on our pro 7

Currently no but i think in the future there will be someone who will do that for the phone. It is a pain in the neck to do those thing

is it even possible? LOL

I believe so. Requires lot of work and skill. Remembered back an 1st gen. IPhone Running Android, so little is impossible.

mhh would be cool to try android on a wp8.
but if its worth? i dont know

Windows is closed source if there is a port there will be lots of bugs so it's impossible

I think you can put Android on this phone because the Huawei Ascend W1 has a similar specs as the Sony Xperia L.
Chipset Qualcomm MSM8230 Snapdragon
GPU Adreno 305
A-GPS
There will be some risk that not everything will be 100% compatible as there may be some differences in the other hardware components, such as the SDcard reader, wi-fi, USB, etc. So, it will be prudent to do some research before deciding whether or not you want to flash the Android ROM. There is a Sony Xperil L forum here on XDA:

You may want to find out more before you embark on this project.
Good luck in your venture.
