Hope this doesn't piss off any android fans.
Anyone know of a way to install a cooked WM ROM on the EVO? I'm new to this stuff so directions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks
I feel the flames a comin'
Really though dude. Sell the EVO, go to t-mobile and buy an HD2. It's pretty much the same device but with WM.
Seriously why buy an android device if only to put windows mobile?
Anyway no you can't, windows is copyrighted or something of the sort and there for needs to be license etc.
Android is open and free hence why it can be placed on damn near everything.
There had been other threads like this btw.

Unless you want to spend months developing drivers then no, it isn't possible. As someone said, go with the HD2.

That's so weird. I've heard of the WinPho stuff ... but WinMo? That's two more steps back than WP7. Say it ain't so, Joe.

Not going to happen..EVER..
I mean your question should be..
"who wants to get sued by M$?"
because thats exactly what would happen to any developer who ports this to an Android phone...they let the HD2 slide because when you buy winmo phones they still make money..so they are being "tolerant"..if you port it over to an Android phone..M$ earns nothing and this helps their competition...M$ will be with a lawyer in your doorstep in no time...
On another note..MeeGo is open source..so you can get that ported...
If you just want the launcher download Metro UI on the market.

The BB Playbook will run android apps.... I'm so getting one that thing is sexy
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...k-to-run-Android-apps/articleshow/7473802.cms
RIM plans to integrate the technology with the PlayBook operating system, giving customers access to Android's more than 130,000 apps, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the effort isn't public. RIM, after looking outside the company, is developing the software internally and may have it ready in the second half, two people said.

Why waste thousands of dollars on trying to figure out how to run apk files, when you can simply install AOSP honeycomb, and have it look 1000x better.

I think this is great. I'm curious to see if it actually follows through and how they will put the Android market on it... that's my biggest question. Seems unlikely to have a device with two market places.

If they follow through I'd buy one, always wanted a tablet that wasn't a Tab or an iPad. Having two markets isn't that ridiculous. Isn't there a way for people with rooted phones/jailbroken iPhones that can install the other's market on them?
It'll still rely on RIMs horrible OS. No thanks. Now if only WebOs could run our apks...

What makes you say RIMs OS is horrible? The new QNX based OS looks great. It's funny that you are a WebOS fan, and wouldn't be interested in the PlayBook. They are extremely similar in terms of UI.
I've only read great things about their new OS. If you have some articles saying otherwise, I'd be very interested to see it.

I believe it's more of a hardware solution to a software that doesn't support DRM. The snapdragons that I believe you are referencing have DRM built in to them, and thats why netflix is supporting them.
I wouldn't mind even a really crappy port, WP7 would be cool to test drive for a few days. I couldn't ever imagine buying one, unless it had killer specs and Android was already ported over it!
Many reasons to be able to run WP7, chief amongst them for me are XBox Live games and integration, NetFlix, Zune, etc.. Plus I think the interface is quite sleek.
It would simply be awesome to be able to run both OS's off of one phone. If the probability to port Android over to a WP7 is more likely, then I will most probably buy a WP7 phone next.

is the hardware even similar?? the 7 Pro also being a CDMA phone from HTC doesn't mean a port is possible...

I believe the hardware is similar just like hd2 is VERY similar to evo.
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
I believe this would be worth it. as long as the port isn't hardware restricted. I agree the UI is very sleek as well and I would donate a Biggie Size Big Mac Meal from McDonalds. Would be very fun to test drive. maybe even an option as a dual-boot.

that means nothing as a few devs just got honeycomb to boot on our evo's. we just need a dev to try this out and i bet it would work. problem is most devs hate windows now.

yeah i think the hd2, hd7 and the evo are pretty similar.
Legally... porting w7 to the hd2 is just as wrong as porting it to the evo....
all those people that say i has a license, so what? its like saying i have a license to run windows vista... so i can install a hacked version of windows 7 legally.
If they are allowed to post those roms here, we can too. The only thing is finding devs to do it.

I really wish a port would come to fruition. However, no dev even seems remotely interested.
Also, windows phone 7 has been out for quite a while now on GSM carriers, but there has been no port to a GSM android device. I fear there might be more issues than just developer interest.

I just read that the HTC arrive doesn't even have wimax support. I'm sure it would have been alot easier if it did. I'm guessing it would be a full time job for someone to take along the port i.e getting wimax to work and etc. So right now I don't believe there's even a cdma wp7 phone with wimax yet. Bummer
