Windows Mobile on EVO 4G

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.

Some will argue that wp7 is two steps back from WinMo.

That was the initial release. Mango is like a mile a head WinMo.

I'm inclined to agree with both of you. Which confuses me.

Screen Capture without ROOT *** DEVs ***

Why cant we have some application to capture mobile screen shot??
We have an option in Home++ launcher!!
Is there any way to bring this into DEVs notice..

You can use MyPhoneExplorer to capture screenshots. This is certainly not a dev related topic.

Couldn't be any more straightforward, though I think he means taking Screenshots in-app, on the phone.

ASM need SDK ......capture screenshots by PC or Laptop
this is the only way I can capture screenshots

Common guys all above ways are known, my point is:
Is it not possible to develop an app which can take screen shot (without Root)??
If YES, how to approach DEVs on this??

It is possible but only with android 2.3.3. Google put a API for taking screenshots for it. right now it's not possible for the arc.

You have to root your phone and then have a chance to brick it
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App

it's highly unlikely that you'd brick your phone after rooting.. it's only really a problem if you start flashing custom kernels or boot images.. even flashing a broken ROM won't brick it if your Boot image is untouched.

Just wondering why SE didn't implement that feature right from the start? Almost every other new device has something like "press home + back button to take a Screenshot"

For that we need to connect to USB and enable USB Debugging it's a pain

wasnt wrong did a mistake while coping.

we just need a dev that can figure it out...

I asked them,
but Z answered:
This doesn't help us, the major problem for us is flashing a firmware into touch chip - we cannot do this. The current firmware won't allow to detect anything above buggy dual touch.
My_Immortal said:
As Z said, we need sources to modify libraries, so it's nothing of use at the moment.
Nice find though and thanks for letting me know!

I would kill for true dual-touch. Let alone multi-touch.

All we need is sources of the touch chip driver and rest devs like z will do.

And how do you think we can install the driver(s) with a locked bootloader?
If I am not mistaken, we just need the bootloader to be opened and we can install the drivers. Also, I think he said, somewhere in this forum, he has found the driver but then again, he can't test it as the bootloader is locked.

Xperia X8 and Windows Mobile

Now with unlockable bootloader, is it possible to run windows mobile on X8? or any other Windows? I know android is faster and better, but i wanna run some windows apps

I want to run Windows Mobile 6.5 on my xperia too...
just to see how it is running on my phone...
Everything new is accepted!

I read somewhere that wm is closed source and it hasn't been ported to any android phone unlike android which is possible to port it to a lot of other devices...
Even if it was possible to port it noone would like because it's old and not really useful like android!

Im pretty sure its possible. I mean I've seen a pc version of win95 work on the xperia x8 lol

Wtf guys????
I had a winmo with same, if not better specs with x8, and it sucks big time!!!!
and it was htc.
On that phone, they were porting android.. With ****ty battery life, millions of bugs.. But i was trying them..
And it was reasonable.. A winmo device tries android..
BUT IT IS INSANE, AN ANDROID DEVICE TO WANT WINMO!!!!!
Do you guys ask your x8, if it wants that?????
I was coming from a winMo, so i know, and i will stay the hell away, from those devices.
Even the reason, for the new and better version of windows phone(not windows mobile winMo any more?!!), IS ANDROID!!!!!
Thanks the god, i didnt suicided from that phone... ))

Might be Windows 8 will support it.
Sammy prepared phone win Win 8.
If exist driver for Exinos platform in Win8 - it is POSSIBLE to write loader to load windows, why not?
See HTC HD2 as example - it can run as Android so Windows Phone as well

You sad it about Omnia, i am speaking about HTC HD2 - can not see connection
I am saying, HTC HD2 was build as Windows Mobile.
One great person (from Russia BTW) - hack boot loader, made OWN loader - MagLDR - that can load Android or Windows Phone 7.
So it is POSSIBLE to somehow run WP on phones, not designed for it.
Though writing such a complicate code, and in such a dangerous place as bootloader (may kill phone forever) very, VERY hard task

Well ATIV line of product is pretty much the WP8 cousin of Galaxy line. If you look closely, Galaxy ATIV is S3 hardware with WP8 installed and some minor changes.

Why? Just look at the upcoming windows phone 8 devices.

Everything is possible with proper sources (bootloader and drivers). Without them not possible.

Why would you want to offend your SGS3 by putting Windows Phone on it? Why not try putting iOS there while you're at it?!

That's just silly.
But for those saying that WP8 can be run on the SGS3, I'm afraid you're mistaken. The i9300 uses a Samsung Exynos Quadcore while the ATIV S will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon Dual-Care. There will most likely never be a Windows Phone 8 device with the same SoC found in the international SGS3.
The US versions could have more luck as they indeed do have the same CPU as the ATIV S and thus that a much better chance of getting drivers that work for them also.
