Can HERO Run WM6.5

Hi
Is there anyway HTC Hero can run WM6.5 ?
Thank you.

Hi!
No. Thank God.

While technically possible, from a religious point of view it would be considered a sin.
If you intend to give WM a try, you'd better to lend a WMphone and play with it.
If you changed your mind about a Linux powered phone, ebay is the way.

I cast you out from our sacred land

Ofcourse it would be possible... if you have the source code for WinMo and got the drivers for the Hero hardware.`But tyou don't have that (I am sure HTC got both though).
But why would you?
I am sure that you can put Android on already existing hardware too (how about Android on S60 phones or even the iPhone)

Technically != by anyone
But the idea of running Android on the E series is quite interesting though.
I could even revert back to a N0k1a in that case ...

Groan......Not another one!

Life could be actually easier. But won't.
This is why we have the tax, the flu and Windows.

agreed. Windows and tax suck...although the flu is a great way to get some chicken soup and a few days off work!!

Maybe this is something for you in the future???

Not really. We need the native Android on all phones.
Unleash your phone, give it adroid!

Android 2 to HD2?

Hey friends,
probably this has been asked before, but still a major consideration of which phone to buy.
anyone knows for certain if this will be available \ can be done?
thanks a lot,
P.S you guys seem most skillful dev team, keep up guys.

it is possible but no one can assure you that this will happen. look at the orginal HD port as an example

you will never find the right answer, and we all already can see it is pretty tough to put an non android phone with a fully working android? So far, it is pretty impossible. Why would you putting high hope with a wm phone to be ported with android? this will not be a good factor at all for choosing a phone? my 2 cents.

If I read the signs right, there will bei a Android Version of the Leo in early 2010.
Maybe there is a change to flash between the two OS.
On the other Hand this would mean HTC didnt give an capactive Display to the Leo for being ready for Windows Mobile 7 but for being able to sell it as Android Device aswell.

If you want to google for this version you should use the magic words "HTC Dragon"

Cool .. I'm reading this forum for two weeks to get reason NOT to buy Leo. Still haven't found one. But this might be it ..

WP7 on Evo

Since our beloved Evo and HD2 share similar hardware... Shouldnt we be able to fork out a working version of Windows Phone if the HD2 does get a working booting image?
Sent from ... Holy crap look at the time

There would be a problem with radios since WP7 is just GSM at the moment.

Yeah I could understand that. But I believe it wouldnt hurt to try throwing on our phone and see what happens.

wow what an awesome idea! I can't think of anything I'd rather do than step away from a perfectly good open source development platform with thousands of apps at hand that already does more than I could ever ask for, lol
maybe it will look pretty.....

I think most devs discarded the idea due to licensing issues...

Games/Xbox Live + much better media player + a more interesting/unique UI/UX? Why not have the option?
...and Android being open source is actually contributing to parts of its problems - bloat, gimping of features, buggy/crappy skins and modifications. Not sure that being open source is something to throw out as an absolute positive anymore.

That sounds like Communist talk. You red?
I wouldn't mind a WM7 skin. But I have my Xbox for Xbox Live...I don't really play the arcade type games, so I wouldn't have use of Xbox Live on my phone...unless you can put Reach, Tier 1, Crysis 2 or MW2 on a cell phone...with good jitter/ping/lag/etc.

Count me in for a wp7 port.

Ironically some proponents of openness only possess openness in their phones and not their minds. I'd like to see it happen just to see it happen.

Yah I would like to try out wp7 on the evo. I don't think the games would run as good as a real wp7 device.

Omg...have you ever used wm? It is incredibly buggy and maxed out with bloatware. Open source allies for changes. Wm us locked doing so it takes slot if work to change it and fix the problems with it. Wm is single handley the buggiest os out. Thus the reason why a new build of wm comes out every day to three days

What does WM have to do with WP or Android? Android's open source nature is still being abused by both OEMs and carriers.

Yeah WM is definitely buggy but WP7 is supposed to be not buggy and much more fluid.
I just like it for its xbox live integration and gaming features.

I just want to have it just to say. "I have an HTC EVO with android 2.2 that can look like an Iphone, run Ubuntu, play nice with Windows 7, float like a butterfly and sting like a bee" lol

WP7 UI is hideous in my opinion.

Yeah you are right...the home page is kinda crappy looking...the other UI's look nice once you move away from the home page.
I just want the gaming part.....since Android is lacking in the gaming dept....

I just can't understand why everyone is going crazy and we don't even have a working unit or a full review. It's supposedly supposed to drop this fall but not even one unit?
I think it is rushed and they are trying to get in the game and secure a position. WM platform was dreadful for me hopefully this changes with WP7.

Soooo any updates on WP7 for HD2

Soo yeah, It was on the main page recently that a build of windows phone 7 would soon be released for HD2. I know I'm begging for a good flaming for this but is there anywhere I can find an update on the status of this project? I know its a locked down OS and blah blah blah but I use the HD2 as my business phone and would like it to have a more business appeal to it. Does amnyone have an idea on the status of this project?

Why would he spend money to buy a new HD7 when he could just wait for HD2 to potentially have WP7?

i think there will never come a WP7 ROM for HD2

WM7 will come , but like chefs told its just a demo. i dont think its will for a daily use. Android is enough .

i just don't get it. can't the device handle the os?

I think it comes down to if the team is willing to crack the OS so everything works. Last I heard, the thing thats holding back release and making the OS usable would be Windows Genuine Phone. It prevents non-genuine versions of windows phone to work properly. Without live tiles and access to apps, the usefulness of windows phones is non-existent.

of course it can, its just the fact that porting a complete OS is a massively complex task that us mere mortals can barely even comprehend.....
the devs need time and for others to be patient....

Well I'm gonna patiently wait. Android is helping bide the time, but I'm ready for some new microsoft goodies.

You´ll be surprised soon with Leo running smoothly WP7
You can read how well all is going on Windows Phone 7 section.
By now we must have patience and support the great masters like Cotulla and Da_G just for mention some.

[Q] Android on my HTC Trophy 7

Dear Amazing developers,
I am sure you have encountered this question several times but I just need to understand if I can install Android system on my HTC Trophy 7, I am hating how microsoft is hounding their users in such stupid way. Please advise.
Thank you so much

Not possible....yet. But, team from XDA.CN are working on Android ROM currently for HTC HD7. I think that if they make it for HD7, it could be done for all wp7s out there...
Here's the video about their progress.
Bye!

thank you so much, do u know an estimate or a time range?

Unfortunately noone does... I can guess that it might me avalible in let's say 1 month or more... If you ask me, I would love it to be avalible tomorrow, but i highly
doubt it happening.
We can only say thumbs up for this project and keep our fingers crossed that they
don't encounter heavy problems during the realisation of this project!

looooooool... Yep thats exactly what am doing RIGHT NOW

I can wait , just cant get into WP7 Ive tried and tried to like it but its still a 50/50 thing.

i think if the HD7 has nand Android i think its not so hard to port then Android
to Trophy and Mozart because they has the same CPU.

Why don't you just sell you WP7 phone and get yourself a new Android device ? The market price on a Trophy is as high as it's going to be, so you'll get the most for it now.
Also you don't not have to worry about Hacking Android to get it on the phone, that sometimes might not offer the best performace or hardware not working correctly.
Just wondering...

Is there anything new about putting Android on HTC Trophy, since last reply and asking about this was about the end of April..?
Thanks, and thumbs up for developers...

Nope, nothing new.

Please get yourself and stock android phone, i perfer WP7 over ANDROID everyday.

because they all have android least the trophy? Someday there will be someone dared you succeed? (before you break into pedas) jajaja

Some info to all the xda.cn video is just a fake confirmed by cotulla

anyone knows if somebody is doing it..? I mean, dooes it 'fits' on HTC Trophy..?
thanks

Why would anyone want to do this? And even more important why would anyone want to build a ROM? Screw Android. I'd rather someone make a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for the Trophy instead of this crap.

I do not agree with you... I believe it would be better if android fits on HTC Trophy... That possibility would be great!
