[Q] Windows phone 8 or 7 rom?

I'm new here but I've been learning about custom roms and flashing them to my HTC One X from the amazing ViperXL Rom to CM10 and I was just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to flash Windows Phone 8 on an HTC One X...Maybe its not possible yet but i think the idea would be pretty neat to have it running or emulating on the device right? So anyone has any ideas or know about a developer who may have it on the works?

As far as I am aware, the answer is no. The reason is due to the different hardware(no driver support) and the closed nature of Windows 7/8 it isn't possible to make the rom.

Hmmm i'll take a look at it maybe over time the update fixes the slow feel...but i didn't know there were XDA Rules on that...
Everyone is always talking about launcher 8, but launcher 7 is a highly polished windows phone launcher that's been around for a long time and has flawless performance. Also if you really like the look there are great lockscreen, keyboard, status bar, calculator, SMS, and dialer apps. I tried it for awhile and it was kind of cool. I can dig up the names of them if you want

...or you can just buy a different phone every time you want to try something new instead of coming on XDA, rooting your phone to install custom ROMs and wasting poor cheesy's precious time, lol.
As others have said I don't think it's possible but I also think that it would be cool to try. Can I just say that the first time I ever used Android it was on an old Windows Mobile 6.1 device, it ran like **** but at least it was an effort and it was a lot more fun than just buying a new phone.

"wp7lock" for lock screen replacement (this one is really nice and polished
"windows phone notifications" for that little banner thingy at the top
"zplayer" for a zune like music player

[REQ] Galaxy S4/Note 3 S Planner APK for Nexus 5

Hello,
I'm looking for the App & Widget from S Planner wich is coming from de Galaxy S4 or Galaxy Note 3 for the Nexus 5.
Beceause i'm loving this app & widget, but i can't find him for my phone...
Thnx for reading, and sorry for my bad english!
Greetz,
Marco
Sorry but the app requires Samsung's framework, in other words you wouldn't be able to install it on your Nexus 5..
Perhaps a 3rd party alternative via play store.

Why on earth does someone want samsung "bloatware" on his google device ? I'm so happy that I finally ditched my S3 !
Use Google Keep instead or ColorNotes !
//edit
BTW You can speak your notes to google now and he will record that, pretty neat Google voice works great !
How many times is this covered. Do a search and you will find hundreds of threads.

Google it, i think i remember seeing that app but it was for the galaxy nexus so it may be older version but would show its possible. Look threw galaxy nexus thread
Pure Grid Calendar Widget is by far the best option I found.

Calengoo is my favourite calendar app by miles and it comes with widgets. It does not look the best but it functions brilliantly. I used to use it on my note 2.

[Q] Navigation Buttons*

I was wondering if there was a way I could switch the positions of the navigation buttons. What I want to do is place my recents button where my back button, and back button where the recents button is. Is there way I can do that on stock rooted Nexus 5?

You have to be on a custom ROM for navbar customization.

Firstly, you shouldn't compare a Nexus 5 to an iPoop product lol
There are plenty of apps available for White Balance that may do the job you're looking for it to do. If you want a more integrated white balance (not an app), there are plenty of custom ROMs that add different color and resolution than the stock KitKat.

I wouldn't know of any - I have never needed something like this. You'll have to search around at some of the available ROMs and find some that may do it. Check the ROMs section.

You got it all backwards. It's actually the iPhone that needs white balance correction compared to the N5. Just search on Google N5 display calibration results. It's scary accurate.

Color calibration?

Hey all, long time lurker and seldom poster. I've been following the progress of most of the custom kernels for our awesome Nexus 5 and there's one thing that I'm still really missing that we had on our Nexus 4. Color and gamma calibration.
I'm just wondering if it's going to be possible to tweak the Nexus 5 screen like we could with the 4. The nexus 4 had a pretty terrible stock display, but with for example paranoid androids color profile the screen was one of the best out there and I'm hoping that we're still going to be able to achieve that.
