Windows Phone 8 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Will any one even be attempting a port?

I wouldn't bet on it. It would have to be completely written from the ground up besides being a closed source OS.

Slightly off topic, you said a better port. Does that mean there is currently a port for the captivate?

Yeah there was an attempt to port it a while back, I don't know what ever happened to it but I think it was called project galaxy sense or something like that.

I'm pretty sure helix launcher has a sense skin
Source will not do you guys much good when the drivers needed to run sense are still closed source. Without them, the issues that are present now will most likely still be there.

WP7 Rom on Nexus s!

Is possible to use WP7 Roms on Nexus s? If yes, which rom?
Sent from my paranoidnexus s using paranoidxda app
Windows phone 7.x?
I guess never.
There is no driver for exynos(hummingbird).
Instead, you can theme..

I say there will NOT be a wp7 rom in the foreseeable future, since wp7 is closed source, and lisenced by microsoft. as the post above said, yes, you can theme it, but underneath it is still android. if you want the wp7 feel, try launcher 7, it works just like wp7. hope this helps

I would say don't hold your breath, but this is XDA so maybe it might happen. But I doubt it.

there's a thread going on for the Galaxy Nexus, which makes sense with its development following, and even that is almost not even bootable. So I definitely would not expect any type of build for the S3, if anything just a bootable verison to play with the ui

But it could happen eventually

WP8 on SGS3

So, if i could get a Ativ dump or some other things from it, is there any chance a dev could port WP8 to the GS3? Knowing they have identitical hardware it doesnt seem impossible, but i have absolutely no idea for sure.
Maybe , id love to get a hands on a dump , to see what would be needed

to each their own, i hate windows phone and that metro UI. id rather see an open webos port.
I hate windows 8 on desktops/laptops and don't particularly care for it on phones but I have to admit I would love to see it ported to pur phones so we could mess around with it! I would live a webos port too, but I think windows 8 would be a little neater.

Windows Phone COULD be awesome... if they could get all the apps that Android & iPhone have...
I really like Windows Phone but the apps really keep me from staying. I had a Dell Venue Pro (Best Windows Phone yet, IMO) but couldn't live without my apps!!

Windows being closed source I am guessing they can sue if it were to run on another phone.
Jelly Bean is better anyway...
I would think a port from the Ativ Odyssey for Verizon would be the best bet. (It's supposedly the same thing as the Ativ S but for Verizon).

Wp8 closed source? Mhmmmm ..... porting will be difficult. Can it be done? I doubt it. Can I be proved wrong? Of course.

That would probably be the hardest project ever. I thought they were extremely closed source. Like it's hard to even hack it the phones themselves.

Ok, guys, it won't happen. If you have the skill to do it yourself, for yourself only good. As soon as you post it to these forums, you will probably be banned, probably get a c&d from Microsoft, and possibly a lawsuit. You best bet is having a mod close this thread right now.

Just because it's not open sourced doesn't mean it can't be hacked. Apple is a perfect example of that.
It's just a matter of developers actually wanting to hack it. I don't see us reaping any benefit from it other then getting to toy around with it for a few minutes..

It is proprietary, it is copyright infringement, it will not be distributed on xda. And lawsuits are probable

The fact that no one has been able to even "jailbreak" a Windows phone makes me think this is highly unlikely. And the token system of unlocking they had does not count. That wasn't actually a hack.

Really there's no rooting/jail breaking/hacking? That sucks.. but why would anyone want to do that anyways?

[Q] [q] miui rom tab 2

Are there developers to making miui rom?
I don't think MiUi would work on a tablet. I maybe wrong but i haven't seen it anywhere except on the 7" ones as they can be used in portrait

I ever seen on youtube. On Nexus 7, KindleFire, and HP Touch pad. But, the UI becomes Phone UI. Indeed, MIUI ROM does not fit on the tablet. And I hope to miui developers to change it into a tablet ui.
I'm sorry with my bad english grammar!

Ah but they're all 7 inch... Except the TouchPad. I don't think the devs will do it. However its pretty simple to do if you have AOSP ICS
