That's not going too happen. Windows is copywrited it'd be like stealing a copy of windows 7 and installing it on your pc. Illegal

As long it is a Windows 7 phone it has to be Windows OS. As for android which is opensource...

its really hard to do.... but

why change your mind? just becuase someone said it was illegal?

Actually, its in the process of being done on the EVO, Its not final if it will work or start, but it was able to boot. Maybe at the End of the Summer, it may be available for the Evo, and it might get ported to the epic, but the chances are highly unlikely.

One of my favorite features of the HTC phones was the ability to dual-boot android or WinMO. The Touch Pro was awesome with this. Unfortunately HTC doesn't want to make a decent phone with a keyboard anymore, and nobody else likes WinMO.

Launcher 7 is about as close as we'll come... I'm happy enough with it

Well we all know android is better. I just want to play with it out of the sake of curiousity... I owned a tilt back in the day and I HATED Winmo. But now that the os has been completely revised and its actually good and hasn't fallen flat on its face id like to try it out. Just out of curiousity lol

Samsung to buy MIUI

http://androidjet.com/will-samsung-...ch/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Thanks to Joey_UFC for finding this in the EVO 3D section!
Could we possibly see SGS3 running MIUI as a default UI?

That would be awesome but apple would just file another law suit lol

This might not be good
It looks like Sammy could also be buying up the best devs and putting them on lock down. Because I know from experience you cant work for a company and release your own brew of a product. Cause they also hired the dev from cyanogen.

I hope they do!!!! I would like to see them use MIUI optimize and make is AOSP compatible if possible. Touch wiz has too much headaches with apple plus, I hate the lockscreen and the interface has the slowest launcher and slows the phone down. This will make Samsung's phone far superior compared to the competition. Even with inferior software Samsung phone is faster than the competition image the possibilities. Samsung has a terrible reputation when it comes to the software on their devices this work help improve their terrible reputation and make them unbeatable.

Why? Don't you like Miui? The ports here are based off cm7.

I don't think it has to be with it being Miui, but more or less the probability of Samsung going after purchasing it. (But he's also said he doesn't care for Miui lol)
But also realistically speaking if Samsung were to buy Miui I don't think we'd get the one we'd all want to have but rather with Samsung's sometime erred perspective we'd get the bastard mixture of Miui and Touchwiz and it wouldn't be the best qualities of both.

anyone with experience with webOS? to me it seems like the poor man's android...what app options are there? flash support?

theyd be great with webOS
samsung is still throwing BADA devices out....so imagine webOS

The Os, at least the version that shipped on my pre, is the best mobile is i've used. Nothing else can give you true multitasking. But the lack of hardware support, which led to a lack of app support, made for a very frustrating experience. I missed it for a few months after i got the epic. Now I can't imagine not having the app support.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I would love android to have a more webOS feel to it. While it always lacked the proper hardware and dev support. The os is solid.
From cellblock D

The only reason they are buying web os is the same reason google bought motorola mobile. They are just trying to gain patent ground against apple and all the lawsuits.
I don't think you will see any samsung phones with web os because of this purchase.

WebOS had a nice feel, but was not as stable as android in my exp. The lack of decent apps was a problem also. My pre was a horrible phone and I haven't really missed it or webos since getting my epic.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

webOs is honestly the best mobile OS I've ever used. It's so fun to just flick the apps away and has by far the best multitasking you'll ever see. They just needed better hardware and more apps. Otherwise, the funnest OS I've ever used.
Hell I even read somewhere that HP tried putting webOS on the iPad, and that it ran way faster than it ever did on the touchpad or any other HP/Palm device.

Siri=iris...so why

Hi just read some chaps have managed to port siri over with a lot of work...my question is...why try porting it...iris is in alpha state on market,bit more work it'll get there,why don't people just help those devs lol.....all the gaff..androids stolen virtually nothing off Ios so why start now!

Quick point guys.
If Siri is ported and it uses the "token" that the iPhone 4S uses to identify itself to Apple's servers, it becomes warez.

[ICS] should they stop working on it

I've been following the ics project since after my birthday (11/27/11) and a lot has changed but when it comes to (FFC) it came to me that its not gonna work till maybe after the summer or never, whenever HTC gives out the code bit what's your opinion about the ics for the EVO 4G?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

This doesnt belong in the Android Development section, belongs in GENERAL.

My bad I thought it was general at first. The system will automaticly do it for me as usual.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

ummm my opinion on it is that if they dont want to they shouldnt. It will give us an awesome rom but more importantly that means our wonderful devs are learning stuff. this means that in the future they can use these experiences to help them in work or in other aspects of there personal lifes. so dev on guys you are doing great

Why in the world should they stop working on ICS? It makes little sense.
Deck and Kang and others are making great ICS ROMs for lots of phones, not just the EVO4G.

htc will release the code.. because it is an open source project. when is the question, not if.
ics will come..

The OS code is open source. The device drivers are not last I knew. So no, HTC does not have to release driver code.

HTC may release the FFC code for our OG's as soon as they sell enough of their newer devices.
They seem to be dragging their feet in releasing the official ICS updates for the Evo 3D and the Evo Design when they said they would, but they're holding it back, why? Cuz they want to sell enough of the One series models before they officially update the older HTC models that are scheduled to be updated with ICS.
Its kinda crappy of HTC to do that, but hey, they're a "for-profit" business.
But in answer to your question, heck no they shouldn't stop developing ICS for our OG Evo's! This sh*t is fun as hell.

what is the point of this thread? why is that a question? sorry no disrespect.

Yeah, I don't get why a thread was started for this. But why should devs abandon ICS on Evo? Because they can't get FFC to work!? I've been on ICS since the minute they got camera working (around Xmas), and could NEVER imagine going back to GB or Froyo (well, ...maybe froyo).
Keep up the awesome work, all who are working on ICS for Evo.

The evo is EOL(end of life) HTC doesn't have to support it any longer meaning they won't release any source for it as they are not working on ICS for the device. Hardware mfgs may release source for the same hardware in other devices, like they did with the adreno or the devs may code their own drivers. But don't expect HTC to do a damn thing for the evo, period.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

All I'm saying we have a lot of people love the ics Rom but some people hate it cause no 4G. But let me tell one thing about the ics it came a lot since then and like some people who are poor or they don't make a lot of money, its hard to keep up with ics roms when the last two months the biggest change was 4.0.4 which is like starting all over again. Don't get me wrong with the debate about their work, its freaking amazing, but the biggest break through will be the ffc. Closest to that is from a horse ride to a plane ride experience
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I don't think that they should stop working on the ICS ROM's. I went from Sense to Ice Cream Sense to ICS and having ICS on my phone is like having a brand new phone. We don't have 4G in our area, and the front facing camera I hardly used. I am using gummyWorms ICS right now and so far had no major problems with it. There are minor glitches sometimes but, that is no big deal. I hope that the ICS developers can get everything working and I know that it will take time to do so. I appreciate all of their hard work in bringing us some ICS goodness to our phones.
