acer f1 is a WM mobile, Can it use Android OS ? or dual-boot?
Liquid has similar hardware, so its possible but not likely for a while if not ever. If you want android, get an android phone. Period.
moved to the right forum, please post in the correct forums.
it is unbelievable,but i see some book it can be install android

As ppl are trying to port android into windows mobile

its just a question If it becomes this way then its awesome i can go to any os i want.
windows or ion os or hero os
it will best
NO, why in the world would you want to?? The hardware isn't supported.
Oh yeah I would think this is the wrong place to post this, should have gone in General.

just askin i dont want it. still wanted to know it
[IS THERE] A brain in your head?
This is the development forum, not the general section, please go post it in the appropriate section.
Also why would you want Windows Mobile on your Magic? It seems stupid to me when Android beats WM in most aspects.
There's always the one good reason everyone falls back on when they are supporting the Windows platforms: application support. If you have programs that you've paid lots of money for and want to continue using them, then your best option is to stay with the OS you are using (Windows 90% of the time).
I have a HTC Magic which I use constantly with the latest CyanogenMod ROM, and I have a Macbook that I do all my school work on. But until all the games I want to play are released for those platforms, I'm always going to be in need of at least one Windows computer.
@ahmgsk: The reason you see everyone here trying to install Android on everything is because it is free, we are encouraged to do so by Google, and it's a fun system to play with. Windows Phone (or whatever they are calling it this week) has to be licensed specifically for each device in order to do this legally and the source is closed making it too difficult to bother with.
impossible, windows mobile doesnt support capacitive touch screens.
Hi Every one,
I was thinking, why there is no android or ubuntu on leo?
Is it about the Snapdragon processor,but XPERIA X10 runs android.
and ubuntu is just an os it`s not ported from any device.
Is it Lack of developers?
They work on many devices but not leo
Can anyone explain to me why
Thank you
There are dozens of threads on Android on the HD2. Use search and you'll find them.
Installing a different OS on a phone designed to work with a specific platform isn't exactly like installing Linux on a computer that shipped with Windows.
Getting Android to boot on the HD2 is one thing, getting it to interact with every piece of hardware is quite another. HD2 is designed for Windows Mobile so development on porting Android starts from the ground up.
Yes there are plenty working on a port but such a port won't come overnight and will take time to actually be 'usable' to the average person.
Edit: and ubuntu is a desktop OS so hardly the most practical solution on a handheld device. Win95/98 etc. can be run 'within' Windows Mobile though via emulation, so of course there's always a chance it can be emulated too, if someone works on it. Though I imagine it'd be very sluggish and impractical

Dear all,
I just have a very old topic asked many time, on different threads but I have a reason for those who have patience to read it all,
Well friends I have read on many forms that if anybody wants android then they should buy android device, & those want windows phone should buy a windows device, BUT LET ME TELL THE NEW SMARTPHONE members,
" its not stupid to ask for dual OS on a newer device, most of us have our PC with dual OS whether win95se & win98se, or windows Me & win XP or vista or XP & win7, and Linux" so it should be promoted at an open resourse like xda forum, rather than asking to buy particular is device, its just matter of interest for experienced developers to work for these multiple OS. On one device,
I can just say a tag from one of our famous xda developers 'BePE' " ITS Our device & we are the one to decide what we wish to run on our purchased devices, we paid a handsome money to buy these devices, &its not Microsoft or apple or google or Nokia or etc to lock up our options just in the name of security and putting so many locks(developer lock, root lock, interop unlock) its a free world
For those who think its absurd I will just say that (except htc magician & HTC PDA2K)
I Have seen happen from early devices, right from k-jam to jasjam to to JasJar(aka universal) to HTC tytn to HTC diamond to HTC topaz to HTC Blackstone & finally to the legendary HTC hd2 every user who believes that user is the person who decides what he wants to run on the device, as they pay a handsome amount to buy the devices

OK. What EXACTLY is your point?
Another idiot. Try port it by yourself, stop asking it. Noone cares about your request.
Android is a pesky system as far as hardware requirements are concerned. you will need new drivers for pretty much everything there is in windows phone hardware.
There is also the secure boot chip, which won't allow anything but windows phone to boot on the device. So good luck porting it.

The point is my friend that I am not asking to do a android port for windows device and its the first time I am posting any thing regarding android on a windows forum, but as I mentioned I see lot of users asking about the dual os and the reply they get is " buy a android device"
Its absurd, previously we used to see a decent and logical explainations like " it depends on how many users are interested in such development'
Its XDA developers forum & is a decent and respectable and its been open to any idea, people must maintain the dignity of this place, rather than Dictating the other users to buy a different devices

I know my options mr. Smart a** and I am not asking it to develop it for me, I just pointed out the matter, well if the person who asks such question was so brilliant and in a position to develop a dual os by himself than he rathar than asking in forum he/se would have posted it and made a sticky on your face.
This is a creative forum, to promote ideas, not a personal property of yours,
If it would have been that no one cares than we would still have only wm 2003se or wm5 or wm6 or em6.5 on many devices are running dual boot at present
one idea on this would be to wait for the android emulator in the SDK to get updated to windows RT, (windows RT and winphone 8 have the same kernel) so once that happens, we can run our emulator on top of winphone 8
I may be slow, but it's a start point.
Well hardware doesn't look much of a deciding factor - as these days there are many android devices powdered by krait but i believe we must port/re write drivers build new kernel etc . We need a hell lot of people with good enough know how on the technical side of things to have a constructive discussion on this subject here .
Just say no to Andoroid on Windows devices.:silly:

Seriously, I've had two Android devices; a phone and a tablet. I gave them a try because you had more options to customize and such but the OS just plain sucks ass and it's glitch just like if not worse than Windows Mobile. I use to complain about not being able to do the stuff I use to be able too on WM all the time when I switched to WP but now I don't have to worry about extrem lagg, reboots and battery drains.

thanks you for your generous reply, i feel that's how we at xda have been reasoning politely to our fellow members
And again a thread on the same topic and I'll give you pretty much the same reply I have given on most of those threads: it's just not very likely to happen anytime soon.
It has always taken quite a long time before HSPL has become available on WP7 devices and for some there still is none. Especially Nokias Bootloaders have been declared to hard to hack by some developers. Given that with WP8 Microsoft introduced Secure Boot which cryptographically verifies the Bootloader AND Kernel for correct signatures before loading them it has gotten quite a lot harder to do than it has been on WP7 and even though there was HSPL for WP7 devices (and devices like the HTC Titan had a practically identical brother with Android) there has never even been the hint of a succesful port.
Aside from that - many Android ports to other hardware (Windows Mobile) were either unstable or lacked lots of hardware support (Camera and GPS being the most common problems). Based on all this, the correct answer to people who bought a WP device but don't like the OS and would prefer Android can only be: sell the device and buy an Android device. You can do it today and it will work reasonably well.
The alternative would be to tell people to wait for an unlikely event (a port) to happen and then after more than a year get a system that lacks important functionality or performs badly. Therefore, with all the information currently available the only answer to give people who ask for it: if you want Android buy an Android device (or port it yourself).
i want to install android on ativ 3 , is that possible? , what version do you guys recommend? has anyone tried that? Thank you!
here you can see it
Bump?
Wow, it seems i bought a nono... it seems no one has it or ever heard of it...
It does indeed seem that way. Since it runs "real" Windows you can probably use something like BlueStacks on it? Actually installing Android (and having it work) will require driver support in Android which may not exist; even fairly popular Windows tablet lines like the Surface Pro family have driver troubles in Android.
I've been doing a lot of research on this tablet. Ended up picking up a refurb for $250, and with 64GB I'd like to do a dual boot if possible.
However, looking at Wikipedia, there isn't a single tablet with the Atom Z2760 with Android. They're all running Windows 8.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(system_on_chip)
I'm an amateur developer, finishing up my CS degree this Spring. If someone more experienced than me thinks this is actually possible, I'll look into trying to make it happen. If there are any resources that may be relevant, post them or send me a PM.
I own a Samsung ATIV Tab 3 as well. I have not been using it since after updating to windows 10 it has become extremely slow. On the other hand I really like the pen and its responsiveness.
Have you found any way to install android or another light OS?
Ideally I would like to utilize the device as a digital notepad.
Currently, there are Bliss OS or Prime OS but I am testing Prime OS, I don't expect straightforward and easy installation but let's hope for the best...
@UserBroskyXDA, have you been successfull with Prime OS ? I have windows 10 running on my machine and its extremely slow.
Hello,
Do you all know of anybody emulating android on rugged devices like the Motorola MC9190 and MC9090 or forklift mounted computers like Honeywell THOR VM1?
We are migrating to a new warehouse software that requires android. The Motorolas run on either Windows Mobile 6 or CE 6. The Honeywell devices run on CE6. Need to make sure that is not easily achievable before we do a full hardware refresh to accommodate the new software.
Thank you!

Hi, I'm not dev but I have experience with enterprise devices (MC9xxx or Thor VMs etc). You've probably found it already by yourself that it's not reasonably possible to "emulate"/run Android on Windows CE.
IMHO someone should plan ahead with device replacement costs into the Warehouse system upgrade budget at first. Only thing you can do is to either sell them and buy new one or to connect to warehouse system different way (How do you connect "desktop" clients to it?) - Browser? RDP? For example you are able to use HTML5 Webkit browser on at least Windows CE6.0 devices (MC9190 and Thor VM1)
