W7 on inspire 4g

I saw HD2 running Android and w7. So maybe we can have w7 OS run on inspire too. I am not a dev so I can't port OS to inspire but it would be nice to see some devs might be interested in it. Again just a thought.

Sure we all can buy respected OS phones but if you can kill two birds with one stone then.... We all flash diff roms every day so w7 is just another Rom.

While I agree I'm guilty of flashing a new Rom just about everyday but at the core of all Roms its still gb or froyo. Wp7 is a new os altogether. Maybe I just dont understand the desire to have it on this phone unless you like the specs of this phone over regular wm 7 phones perhaps.

There's a reason why you see an "Android Development" section in almost all native Windows Mobile phone forums. Windows Mobile seems nice, but eventually you realize that you bought the wrong phone.
You don't see a "Windows Mobile Development" section in any native Android phone forum do you?

Why. Just... OMG; why?

Lol'd at your comment.
In my opinion, Android OS is far better than W7 OS. Friends of mine that have a W7 phone, complain that it slows down and often needs a reboot.

You Flash New Roms because each New Rom is almost like getting a brand new phone every single time.
I love to Flash New Roms. I've tried just about every single android sd & nand Rom that is out there... When I heard I could flash WP7 OS to my HD2 I just had to do it! The temptation for another New, Uncharted, Undiscovered Rom was simply unbearable. If someone ports WP7 for the Inspire people will Flash it. My Roommate will be the first.

Having done from a windows mobile world I hope it doesn't
Swyped from HTC Desire S using XDA Premium

Might as well install Mango on it.

having (dual-booting) MANGO on a desire s would be great but,
a) Not many people here are interested
b) Even if people are interested, no one is skilled enough to do it
c) It's not completely legal to port microsoft stuff. It's not open source like android.

don't think it can be done, and comming from a windows phone I don't hope it can

maybe getting HTC Surround these days just because of its hardware
[its gonna be my new useless media phone i guess ]
anw.. please don't let any1 to port windows on our beautiful device..

Even if someone did port, who cares? It's not like there's any demand for it.
On the flipside, I wouldn't mind vice-versa as I have alway found the Windows HTC models looked better than the Android ones imo.

Installing windows mobile on a perfectly good DS should be a punishable offence.

i have used my friend's windows phone 7 device(before i started using custom roms) for 5-10mins(i know that its very brief) & i seemed to like it a quite a bit,mostly because it seemed faster (when i was on stock ROM)
is there something im missing?or is it just that the brief time i spent fiddling with the phone not enough to tell me enough about the device?
(im just curious )

I tried it too at the phone store. I will agree its quite good. Fast and responsive. But it doesn't quite still well with me like the way Android does.

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,...

Ok thanks allot. This is all i wanted to know.

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.

And perhaps they didn't?
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?

Wp7 on android pre-installed phone

I was wondering if I could flash a wp7 rom (lastest build) to my android phone (Motorola triumph 2.3.7 gb) ? Is that even possible?
Sent from my Motorola Triumph using xda premium

It's possible in theory since the Triumph uses Snapdragon processor.
Unfortunately, no one has publicly been able to port Windows Phone OS to Android devices.

Wp7 isn't open source, so it won't happen...

Other than hd2, no phone has windows phone ported

it would be frowned upon by microsoft for licensing... but who cares about EULA's ? i don't.
i'd imagine the small, incremental changes in chipsets would be problematic for the drivers to handle... given how driver updates have gone in windows in the past, and there is no driver update service on wp.

in xda some friends ported succesfully wp7 on toshiba tg01
and even there are some troubles like camera and signal otherwise it work
therefore maybe one day...

Technically HTC evo should be able to have a port but i don't think there is enough demand for it
Sent from my T8788 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Sad but true

I really hope it will NEVER happen because we paid a lot of money to have Microsoft OS. I could buy a Galaxy S phone than install Windows Phone on it instead of buying an Omnia 7 paying 70/80 euros more...
