Any plans for a ROM as above.....
No...it´s unfortunately not possible!!!
Only Android to Android ports!
The drivers, kernels and the main problem: the resolution are different! Android is Open-Source Windows Phone 7 not.

Hi all,
I want to buy a Iconia A501, so does it run dual boot win7/8 & ICS?
Thanks 4 replying
No
A500/A501 runs on Android with possibility to dual boot to Linux in the future (there are some Work-In-Progress projects right now).
W500/W501 runs on Windows 7 and I don't know if anyone even tried to boot another system on it.

Thanks 4 ur reply, bcoz i saw Model W500/W501 run dual boot win8 & Android, so i think that A501 also do that.
Iconia W50x has an x86 based CPU. That's why it can run Windows 7. I didn't know that it can already boot Android.
Iconia A50x has an ARM based CPU (Tegra2). There is no Windows 7 version that can run on ARM (actually Win7 can only be run on x86/x64 architecture).
Windows 8 will have an ARM supporting version but there is almost no chance that it could work on any Tegra2 based tablet.
The W50X has been able to run Android but the A50X series can't run windows - any version of windows....
I am new to XDA, new to the Nexus 7, and new to android on retail devices.
BUT I am a linux kernel developer - with a driver in the distribution kernel, and I have done android ports for development platforms.
So I am stupid on somethings and very sharp on others.
I need to do my own drivers for some devices for a Nexus 7.
Clearly others have been able to build kernels etc. for the Nexus 7 so that must be possible.
I am looking for pointers, howtos, ...
I already know how to write drivers, compile kernels - even for android.
I need to know where to get the config information for the Nexus 7, or a source tree specific to the Nexus 7,
as well as how to get a new kernel onto a retail device. I am used to putting android onto SD card and booting it on and unlocked device
The best I've found out there is a recommendation to "try teaching your toaster French." There seems to be a few hints out there that the Omnia 7 can be flashed at least to different versions of Windows Phone 7. Is there a working way to get Android onto the phone? If so, can this method be used to hack Firefox OS on there as well? The phone fits all the hardware recommendations for the OS, and we have a spare one floating around the office I thought I might try to flash it onto.
I've already taken a look at the wiki page for the phone and found the drivers and flashing utilities (tucked away in anonymous downloads in the sketchiest parts of the internet) mentioned there. What is the procedure for putting Android on a Windows Phone? Is there a build of Firefox OS that might work, or should I just set the Omnia aside for now, roll up my sleeves, and start helping with the B2G project on GitHub?
Hi All
hope you all well, please i need help on dual boot i have a galaxy s4 i9500 with android os 4.2.2, baseband i9500xxubmea, kernel version 3.4.5-768420 [email protected]#1, build number jdq39.i9500xxubmea, selinux status permissive.
i need help to be able to install windows and as well as have my jelly bean android os how can i install? and the procedures and tools to the dual boot please help me.
Regards

You can't. We don't have install images for WP8; it's only available pre-installed. Even if we did, we don't have the drivers for GS4 hardware.
Currently, if you want WP8 on your device, you need to buy a WP8 device. That's also true for Windows RT, incidentally, since you didn't indicate which version of Windows you wanted...
Even if we had the install image, drivers, and a flashing tool that recognized the WP8 image format... it would probably just reformat your phone. Dual-booting would be much more difficult still.
Thank you for getting back to me, well all i wanted is any latest windows which would be compatible with the s4 something sortbof like nokia lumia os but ill hang on and lets see what comes out later on thanks to you guys doing all the hard work

The "Lumia OS" is called Windows Phone (not just Windows; that's a very different OS despite the stupidly similar name). The current version, WP8 (plus minor updates) is what you would get on, for example, the ATIV S (which has hardware nearly identical to the Galaxy S3). There is not yet any Windows Phone device with the hardware specs of the S4, but they're coming. However, even then, don't expect to be able to flash WP8 to an Android device. It might become possible, later, but it would take a lot of work.
Understood thanks alot for the update bro

Hello all
I was wondering if there will be AOSP/CM ROM for this device, not a single ROM is available and no dev is interested to work on such a great device.
Such a totally crap device, still stucked on 5.1.1 since launch, no dev is interested in the development either, where android n announced already, we are still waiting for Android M update, i wasted my money on such a **** device, will never buy a sammy mid range in future, m totally fed up with this
I think because there are few developer with that phone and they can't test their work. You can port ROMs such as CM to you phone by your self. There are tons of guides and forums. All u need is a linux OS (such as ubuntu, debian and others) and sources.

yep, I'm on kali and I use windows 10 to play games, so the only thing is: take care when partitioning. After you installed ubuntu there is a bootloader called "GRUB" and there you can choose if you want to boot windows or linux
