I just simply wanted to ask if there was a possibility of porting a Windows Phone 7 rom to the HTC Evo 4g. If so, then could somebody do it for me? I'm a n00b at pretty much everything except for rooting and flashing roms to phones, so I need a little help from the people that know how to do these things.
yeah give me a few minutes, I'll whip up a WP7 rom for you.
I'm pretty sure you'd be sued off the face.of the earth by msoft. Wp7 is closed source, android is open.

The only phone that has been successfully ported from WM6.1 to Android and WP7 is the HTC HD2, and that is GSM so it won't work with Sprint.

Not stupid for asking....just that the question has already been asked. Therefore you either didn't search first, or if you did, you didn't like the reasons behind why it hasn't happened yet so you optimistically created a new thread thinking that a different response would occur.

not another one of these threads. learn to use the search button. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651632
there is NO WAY right now to even port it. like the guys above me said, go buy an android phone.
close thread please.
what you could try is:
copy a HTC desire ROM to your HD2 and see what happens when you boot it..
please let me know the outcome..

Didn't know we had so many comedians here on XDA, have any of you thought about trying out for Last Comic Standing?
Did you catch a hint of sarcasm, you sure did!
Should the OP have used search, yes. Should the OP take a look at the XDA homepage from time to time, sure. But really, whats the point in replying if you have nothing to contribute of value. Reply #4, even though it was blunt and could be read in a not so pleasant tone, still offered a valid answer and link without leading the OP down the path to a possible brick. Everything other reply was useless. Go ahead, flame me all you want, I don't give a ____.
To the OP, no, there is not a direct port of Android in any flavor for the HD2, or any other WinMo based phone for that matter. Yet. This doesn't mean it won't be possible, amazing things have happened here on XDA since I joined in 2007. There are options though, keep watching this thread as there are currently 6 known working HTC WinMo devices that can run Android via a WinMo app called haret.

I think there's more than 6 winmo devices that can run android through haret. But otherwise, you're completely right.
I don't think a lot of the people on these forums asking for android on HD2 understand the fact that there has been no perfect android port for any winmo devices, yet. I've noticed there's a lot of new winmo users on these hd2 forums who think that a port should come soon and they will be able to install/flash it and have a perfectly working android phone. I've even heard people say they bought the hd2 anticipating an android port.
It doesn't work like that. It never has. These ports take time. They are very buggy at first, and even when they iron out the bugs, it is still not fully functional. It will probably be years before we have a port that can use bluetooth, wifi, camera, sensors, etc.
If you want to use android full-time as your main phone os, get an android phone. It's great when we can boot into android when you want and use some android apps, but it's going to be a very long time before its functional enough to want to use full-time. If you want to have a hd2 and make full use of its features, your gonna have to use winmo. A bootable android will be a great feature and fun thing to play with, but thats all its going to be good for for a long time.... something to play with. I dont think theres been a fully functional port to a winmo phone, yet.
So to the people waiting for android on your hd2... be patient, and dont expect a fully working version anytime soon.
You will all take the level of importance of this question as your own but I have had a query burning in my mind for a while.
I know that currently the Android OS is a BUILD and it takes a wm ROM to launch off, but I was wondering is there a way for the HTC LEO to run DROID ONLY and never have to associate itself or use WM ROMS ever again. Essentially I am asking is there a way to create a ANDROID ROM for the HTC LEO?
Note: Can the answers be open minded and not fuelled by programmers knowledge as most programmers I know will only give answers in the current boundaries of technology, but I do urge you to remember that at one point Computers were impossible...but they did it. I hope the programmers here do not take offence to this, I just want to know is it theoretically possible.
Thank you in advance.

100% agree with this (i often say it too), with a few exceptions tho
the big NAND question being 1 of them, if you are fairly new to this scene, it can be info overload & without reading every thread this info is easy to miss.
how does "NAND" translate into Android Rom? unless you've been been around for a while you wont know.

What would it take to get a working windows phone 7 rom onto this device? I don't know anything about WP7 dev, but have been dying to try it and this phone is more than capable of handling the load, it's just a matter of if it would jive and such.
Any thoughts comments, etc?
If you truly want the w7 feel you should use desktop Visualizer I think... go to the themes section they have a guide on how to theme your android to something VERY similar... as far as actually porting a rom... think that's prolly a little too much coding and work considering if someone wanted it that bad they likely would have just bought it as such...

They probably should put a post count limit like 50 or 100 to post in here. I think 95% of LEGIT (none of these 'posters' posting threads with OTHER devs work in it stating ohh Im doing it for him...for what reason is that?? then the actual dev cant update .) devs have usually over 100, but maybe make it 50? idk I think 100 but I think 'atleast' 50.
That could help with this type situations, and should be possible with vb im sure. because they just [for whatever reason] get lost/confused and its hard on the mods.

In other words, Sbryan was sick of douches like you (kslakhani) who just kept asking him to fix things and make the ROM work. You really don't appear to understand XDA at all, you probably shouldn't come on here too much.
First of all I hardly asked anybody to fix things.
I always appreciated their efforts and u know its up to them whether they wanna do it or not.

There's no real Sense 4 ROM for HD2 yet, but there is one for Desire. All we need is one man who would like to spend his time porting that **** to our device. Want it? Do it yourself or wait for someone else who wants it too and will do it for you.
