That for now would be no for sure.

Well, for now its going to be a No NO, why because the developers have very limited access to phones architecture and the xips. At this stage even the apps for wp7 have very limited functionality, for example most WP7 have a digital compass but as of yet no application effectively utilises this feature. However, with the progression of time and new updates coming in we shall see marginal improvement in the WP7 ecosystem. Who knows that some xda developer might be able to emulate android on wp7 and consequently on Omnia 7 as well.

All this I is a theme. The base is still Android and in NO way WP7. Its cool but its not dual booting Windows and Android.

I hope this will soon be possible. I feel really cheated with my WP7. I can't believe Microsoft can get away with this. I am stuck with a 2 year plan, Omnia 7 trade in price dropped so low, and I have to pay the telco a big penalty if I change phone now.
I'd rather give my money to the developers who can give Android on Omnia 7.
yes i agree with you about the feeling cheated by microsoft they gave the impression of many minor updates as they became available not one or twice a year i cant wait for omnia 7 to be hacked to run android.
on a different note will it ever be possable to create a emulator for wp7 that can mount a iphone app ?
Why people want Android to all phones? Boring...
If the people want android, why they don't bay an android Phone?
why?
Im happy on WP and can't see the reason for using Android. I read a lot before buying my Omnia 7 and dont feel cheated therefore. Mango will be the start for regular users and this close to the update, it would seem like a lot of work for nothing. WP is a more modern plattform so why go backwards, in that case buy a Android device instead.
Android dev for HD2 was understanble, a lot of problems with WM OS made it easyer for daylie users to get a stable phone. Android was a new and better platform in terms of stability.
WP today just works, and Mango will make it complete, or cloae to it.
I find this query odd too. I can understand it if it is the HD2 forum or any WM6.x devices.
There are tons of Android devices with specs equal or superior to the Omnia 7 (like the Galaxy S2). So why bother asking to put Android on the Omnia 7? Just get an Android device.
If it is possible,sounds great.but android gives me a very bad user experience,and I used to have a pocket pc and an android device,I bought wp7 all because of its new UI,and power hardware,these improve the experience.just as what I said,I do not like android,even android on omnia7 is possible.
You should go buy Galaxy S II instead.
Android for omnia7? I'm in! Will donate, how much?
news about android on omnia?
with WP7 Downloader Ver 7.41 for Publish (Add OASIS Latin).rar we should be able to inject android into i8700 veins (as well as ios, probably)
Is something new in this thread ?
No obviously not. The last post was last year. There's not going to be Android on Omnia7 at all.

Omnia 7 and Focus are now old enough to be cheaper than equivalent android phones. a 2nd hand HD2 cost about $250 on ebay because everyone who knows about what it can do wants one to play with still. the Samsung Focus costs approx $130.
So if you can run android on it. the resale value of your samsung focus (and omnia 7 because it is similar hardware) will increase.
Guys, you bought yourself a WP, because you wanted a WP.
So, why even start thinking about Android?
Yes, I know, my signature, says, that I've go a Droid. I'd actually prefer a WP, a Samsung WP, to be exact...
I only took an Android, because the German Telecom doesn't have any Samsung WP's anymore...
Back to the point;
WHO CARE'S ABOUT ANDROID??? IT'S CRAP!!!
Believe, me, I'm using one... -.-"

I'm sure everyone is entitled to an opinion, it seems obvious that the people who are asking for android prefer android. I imagine some people may have bought a WP7 phone thinking it would have more development or more apps or just be different, and now would like to see android developed on the device.
I own a HD2, a phone that runs pretty much every OS and I have installed WP7 and Android (aswell as the stock WM6.5). Originally I liked WM6.5 and the mods for that, android was not for me ... infact when WP7 came out I was tempted to get a new phone, when WP7 was made available for HD2 I tried it and my personal opinion is what it does it does well, but it is very limited and closed. My opinion on android has now changed with developments and apps etc and now my phone stays in android mode 99% of the time.
I know people who own the omnia 7 , and as a result i often check here every so often. I thought the idea of this site was development - now you (and various others) may think that development should be limited to the OS that the phone originally came with, but using that logic my beloved HD2 would most likely be gathering dust right about now...
hello!
this is my first time posting here. im planning to buy a galaxy tab wifi only model. the only problem i have right now is that im unsure if i could use the developments in the CDMA or GSM parts of the forum about the tab. Or am i right in thinking that i cannot use either?
thanks!
Its a fairly new device. With different firmware. So I say wait till its in circulation and devs start working on its ROMs.
Thanx for the quick reply sir. I am also concerned with the considerably lower chance of the WiFi only model being updated to 3.0, whether by Samsung or someone here in the forum. If that's my concern, would you advice me to get the gsm version instead?

Hey guys! What's up? Well I currently own a one x and I'm happy with it, however I'm still planning to make the switch. Not to the lumia 900 but perhaps the lumia 920(when it comes out of course) .
So basically I might be selling this phone . Now I just wanted to ask the following and please try to be as honest and not bias.
Would you guys in all honesty say that windows mobile 8 is more fluid than android?
To users who have used android and winmo os, what is your take on this? Is browsing nice and smooth ?
Anyone here who has been using android for a while and made the switch to winmo here have any regrets? How well to social networks work performance wise (facebook, Twitter, etc.)
One thing I'm particularly worried about is that I buy the 920 and it ends up getting a mini package with not much support (win 7.8).. what's your take on this ?
I hope this thread is not in the wrong place I thought posting in the lumia 900 section andnd speaking to Nokia users is the closest way ill find the answers I'm looking for.
Thank you guys. Of course once the device is out I will test it in the shop as well. But till then I would like to read your feed back. Thanks in advance
Edit: do you guys have custom roms like android users? (A question I thought i would add to the list ad well)

Well, we don't know. Not many people have seen WP8 yet. But if WP7 is anything to go by, yes, it is very much more fluid and smooth than Android is.

You always kind of pine for that new hot app that isn't out on WP7... But in general no, I personally haven't had any regrets.
How well to social networks work performance wise (facebook, Twitter, etc.)

That's all built in the OS. There are of course 3rd party apps for them. The Twitter app sucks at the moment, Facebook is nice.

My opinion is that because of the switch to Windows 8 shared code, the future is much brighter than it was before.
Current Windows Phone is definitely more smoother and more reliable than my Android. Here is a good video of the social aspect of WP.

Thank you for the video. So basically out of the box one does not feel like they have to smack a custom Rom onto it for the sake of making it a good user experience?
Thanks for the information guys. Haha! I hope the screen size of the lumia 920 doesn't feel much different(smaller) in size compared to my one x because I'm so used to this size.

Samsung Phones Users Are Not Yet So Lucky To Get All Updates Very Soon
As Nokia & MS Are Now Strategic Partners So All Favours Will Be Nokia & If Left Than Would Be Passed To Others
XDA DEVELOPERS ARE THE BEST.
THEY CAN GET WHAT THEY WISH
PLEASE REST IN PEACE TILL CUSTOM ROM OF WP8 IS REALSED FOR FOCUS & OTHER PHONES

Speculation is that first gen phones may not get 7.8. HTC informally announced the HD7 would not be updated, and I fear the Focus will be left out as well.

If that happens, I will be running a custom ROM that is based off 7.8. It's just ridiculous NOT to push out 7.8 on supported devices.
I understand not being able to put Windows Phone 8 on them, but 7.8 is made for 7.x devices!

I find it unlikely 7.8 wont hit all devices, one things for sure, the amount of FUD flying about on WP7/8 subjects, much of which originates from over zealous Android users, definitely muddies the waters of whats true and not.
Whether or not your Carrier and OEM pass on the update in good time is a completely different conversation, but I suspect MS would want 100% compliance and would force it if its balls were not stuck between a rock and a hard place!
That's kind of my point. I responded with pure emotions, and that didn't help. I used WindowBreak to side load apps. One of the things I did with my Focus was change my location to Canada for the keyboard fix. After it was installed, I changed it back to USA. If I need to do that again, I will. AT&T really is bad with the original devices and updates. They seem to only care if you have a Nokia phone.
