No you can't... Windows Phone has a lot of hardware restriction so it is kind of hard to get a phone with the required specs for it to run.
Also, it has only been ported to very few phones.
Anyway you can probably get a used windows phone for a really low cost.
I used to have an SGS1, too. I got my first windows phone for about $228 usd used (an lg quantum) and my second windows for about $250 usd new ( a focus flash).
If you live in the US you can probably get a phone for a lot less. =)

I was fairly impressed by the Windows 8 preview... that being said I kinda wish they hadn't gone with a WP7/metro theme all along the whole thing... They did kind of steal the swipe from sides thing of the Playbook as well, even if it is a great thing to use.
Use Linux, be free.
Stop beeing anal slave of microsoft =)
waiting for new windows 8
If they try to put windows 8 on one of their phones it would blow up.

They already have that in the form of WindowsPhone7. If anything it's more like they're putting WP7 on PC's and tablets.

They didn't steal it. They just borrow it.

this. If he was just doing it for the money, and he legitimately had a fully stable build, he would have collected the ransoms and made way more than he ever would locally through craigslist.

NP unfortunately there are alot of people who take advantage of things available here in xda and other forums and sell them as their own work.
@leftovermagic i thought they had canceled the ransom/reward for the port?

Just his claim of Honeycomb makes me call shenanigans.
The current projects that I am aware of are all targeting a Gingerbread-based system dual-booting with WebOS. Anyone know of others?

I thought it was up, but the Cyanogen team was going to have it donated to charity if they won, i'm not sure though.
ahh ok i had heard that it was removed because it was causing more problems than actually promoting development like it was supposed to . anyway i hope CM (or to be honest anyone ) get a port done soon, i want to see what this thing can do when not crippled by HP's stupidities ( printing, bluetooth pairing , adhoc tethering ,the damn arrow keys etc etc ). I dont blame webOS i blame HP for trying to lock the device to only work like they want and with their things only( kinda like apple which why i never liked apple).

Just got a new android

God its so awsome how do I jailbreak it?

It depends how you put it in terms. For example, jailbreak meaning installing a better ROM on your phone than the one you already have, and secondly, you can only jailbreak an iPhone being the term 'jailbreak' came from iDevices.
are you insulting me, because i'm not fat.
Jailbreak is a term use in iOS. In android, we root our phones. Why? Few reasons, to install custom ROM, it is mainly because that phone no longer receiving update, so have to rely on xda. 2nd, to over clocked your phone. 3rd , dislike skinned ui, example HTC sense , Samsung touch wiz and more. So they would go for pure android aka vanilla. Or some prefer cyanogen version. Anyway, welcome to android, you can find almost all information about your android phone here. Have a nice day

Google root + your device and carrier. It has worked for me as a new guy. Read up on it first and be careful as flashing roms and root can have permanent negative consequences. Just find your device here on xda and that should be a good starting point

First off what phone did you get? And if you are new to android, rooting, custom roms etc, I recommend you use the stock android your phone came with for a little to get familiar before you go changing things around.

In what way did he insult you by saying your fat? "Rooting" and "jailbreaking" are different.

we don't jailbreak android devices , as it is not needed here , but sometimes we root it to gain some special controlling over the device properties.
I would not recommend you to do so , until you get used to the new system and its abilities .

Closed, next time please read and respect the rules
For the rest try to respect each other, is not that hard of you really try

[Q] new uses of our old O1, ideas and projects

Hi everyone!!!
Like some of you I bought a new phone, but my O1 stills in perfect conditions...
Considering its quite old and not of much monetary value (at least in my country) selling it is kind of hard.
So I was wondering if there's any alternative interesting use for my O1... Perhaps as a web server? Or a kind of joystick or remote?
This thread is to give ideas and suggestions about a new life/use for old O1s
***UPDATE***
This seems to be already a popular a the best option IMO http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2084746
At this point there's no release, but it's quite promising

Like someone else did here, use it just for navigation. Uninstall all useless apps make it barebone to have ultimate battery life with any froyo/gb rom.

I think I could that anyway with my new phone... The thing is to give it a new use, not just a smartphone with another OS...
Perhaps it would be interesting if I used ubuntu in my desktop and so there would be awesome functions I suppose

[FUNDRAISER] New P920 for berni987654321

So, it seems one of our top devs, @berni987654321 has lost his phone...I guess that, if everyone helped a little, we'd be able to get him another device, so that he can resume developing, if he wishes so... Just my noobish 2 cents here, but let me hear what you think...If 50 people donated $7.00 each, we'd be able to grab one from swappa, or maybe less elsewhere... I can't develop (yet), but I'd like to help those who can and gave us the fruit of their efforts.
Mods, move/edit/contact me if neeeded...
Maybe he wanted to lose it/move on? I have only had this phone for a year and it is my first smart phone, but if I was a programmer/developer I would want to keep up with the newest devices...if only a new 3D phone was on the horizon. Who knows, maybe the next thing will be 3D Google Glasses...

just to make this clear I DIDN'T want to lose my o3d,
I would'nt get a much less powered phone if so, my current device is just borrowed.
Of course it wasb't just fun to have this phone but it is also great to see
something new is working on a phone which is that unsupported by a company
which could do much for their users.
Of course I want to move on with a new phone but that doesnt mean that I wouldn't
develop for an older phone
