Is there a windows phone 7 from for the DHD/Inspire? Just curious to see. My initial guess is probably not. I know the windows 7 phones can run android so that's why I ask.
Posted using my HTC Inspire, y'all.
Not really that oddball a question, it gets asked many, many times. And the answer is always no.
you could download a windows 7 launcher from the market, there are a few good ones available
Theres a miui windows rom..its pretty good as well...its mainly visual..there are similaritys,look in the rom list its in there,

windows 7 is a close project not like the opennes if android plus 7 dont use external storages like sd cards and its very hard if not impossible
Thread Closed.
As said previously, if you want WP7, you need to buy WP7. Until then your only going to get look-a-likes.

Have you watched that vid? Chinese XDA forum (http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-95247-1-1.html) have managed to have wp7 on our phone.
It doesnt look fake AT ALL.
Engadget and pocketnow have all reported this with video...quite positive review
Definitely not fake, looks like it will be available soon.
Will stick to Android myself though.
Hmm, interesting, I would check it out just to see what its like and go back to android and cm

"Notably, HD3 has only three buttons as compared to HD2, which has got five buttons, and in fact this is the fundamental reason why HD2 can not be upgraded to Windows Phone 7 system."
I really hope for this to run some day on my hd2

Sounds like a lame reason not to upgrade, because the HD2 has 2 more buttons...

I agree... It was just something I found on the web.
I am all over this when and if it ever becomes public. Android is great, much better than windows but the lagging, bad battery life, random reboots and other small issues make the experience less than ideal. I was looking into buying a G2 but I'll wait and see what this is like.
This is why there's no OFFICIAL upgrade path.
The reason why they didn't upgrade is because they wanted to sell more phones. With the buttons is BS. Any dev could of just remapped the buttons, everyone knows that. Looks like they could of came up with a bettet excuse than that.

what hideous Android ROM are you using man?
I get no lag, great battery life (24 hours usage) no random reboots and everything else runs great. I like the stability of my ROM with MDJ's S kernel. I can honestly say I'd rather be rocking this phone over a chunky, ugly, small-screen G2 (albeit the G2 chip is faster, but I've got all the speed I really need on my QSD chip).
You may consider upgrading your ROM or at least your kernel.
I have been watching the WP7 threads for a little while now and have noticed that there doesn't seen to be much activity in there.
I was wondering if WP7 isn't very popular among the community. For me, I love it. I think M$ has done pretty good with this one, and DFT have done even better, Thanks guys. Also thanks to the chefs too.
So I guess I am wondering what OS the community are using.
Android
WP7
Win Mob 6.5
Meego

ANDROID 2.3.3 the BEST OS i am using it on my HD2
WP7 mainly, occasionally dip into Android on my SD, starting to think I may just use WP7 when the nodo comes out, beginning to get thoughts why do I need my hd2 when all I use is WP7.
Android is just to messy, not a single keyboard on android comes anywhere close to the Standard WP7 one, Android is becoming fragmented with now the tegra seperate apps, the seperate Expedia play ones also, this is where iPhone and WP7 will prevail. I know its difficult for this to not frament over time with new technologies but to have so many different speced Android devices available at the same time, that run different games and compatibility in my mind is a mess and I am starting to dislike where Android is heading.

Thanks for the replies so far guys.
I can't understand why WP7 isn't as popular as WinMob 6.5 according to the poll at this moment in time. I have been using it as my full time OS since getting my phone back from repair 2 weeks ago. I only get the occasional lockup (albeit for a second or too) and the odd app might not work (i.e. Messenger) but overall, I am very happy with it. Considering too, the amount of bugs that had to be ironed out when Android was ported, it's bloody marvellous.
So before I have searched high and low for an answer to this question and can not find one on any website. There is a rom or theme whatever you want to call if of windows phone 7 that is out for the HTC HD2. My friend has it on his and i have got to say wow, Android has got something to compete with. But does anyone know of or if someone is working on this for the DROID X??? Thanks. Yes i know about the themes on the market place but i am looking for ZUNE and XBOX LIVE to be more specific.
The hd2 runs windows phone 7 operating system. I have heard of Android and windows being able to work on the Evo, but unfortunately with the locked bootloader of the X there is no way that we will see this dual boot. Therefore you cannot get xbox or zune on the android.

I had two hd2 was running windows 7 as a,primary. the way that W7 formats the SD card it is really a single boot system. yes it could becrun in a duel boot configuration with numerous SD card partitions buy was mainly setcto because SINGLE OS. I liked it very much and would likecto have it as an option here but honestly I kept coming back to Droid. if I was to to go with WP7 I would just buy a WP7 device. the cam on the hd2 running WP7 was always junk
hello guys
i just wanted to know if it will be possible to put windows phone7 as a second system on the dhd...i know i know windows phone 7 isnt a free sourcecode..but some people get it right on the hd 2..
so i was wondering if it wouldnt work for the dhd too?
at first: YES. it is possible.
BUT: it's a LOT of effort to port WP7 to the DHD and probably no one would do it.
so there would probably never be a working WP7 version on the DHD unless you get a really good DEV to work on this
I think there is a launcher called Windows phone 7. It looks exactly the same!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
imo Windows 7 is not necessary on DHD.
Gingerbread is great.
im pretty sure WP7 wont come to the DHD as we first of all need the source code - which we most likely wont get.
+ imo the reason why we have working wp7 builds for the HD2 is, because it already has windows framework on it, which makes it way easier to port a newer version on it.
My question would be, will windows fans ever work out how to use search on XDA?, please this question has been asked time and time again.
Sry for the question bro actually im using revolution hd 5.11 and the windows phone 7 launcher the combination of windowd design and android software is great
I doubt it will. Even though WP 7 can be ported, almost all services in WP 7 will unuseable. The one that Im waiting is Meego or Ubuntu fully ported to DHD.
When I visit a big online store (which begins with an a ;P ) at this time all wp7 devices are really cheap xD. when you want wp7 I would recommend you to buy a htc hd7 for example. At the moment you will miss something like WOW effect of something new . Tested wp7 a while on my old hd2...there are many things missing (in OS itsself) and the hype came down after a short time after release of dft.
It would be good if can make it dual boot...

anyone know is there out there a windows phone 7 rom for galaxy SII?thank you in advanse!!
Not sure if trolling or just stupid...
Not as far as I know.
WP7 is closed source and only for the phones that have it natively.
Some phones like HD2 have it as a hack though, but that's through custom bootloader and having WM6.5 on it made it easier.
Though there are some MIUI rom customized with launcher7 and custom framework i don't know if it's made for SGS2.
You could just download launcher7 on an aosp rom, that really does do a difference. There's some other apps from the W7project that also mimics other WP7 features

considering you only have 31 other posts il assume you're serious, no there isn't and there never will be, Its too hard to do and nobody would even bother doing it
Suddenly i read that he wrote "windows 7", I hope your not referring to the pc os. In that case: GET OUT of man haus!

I do believe there was a theme that looks like WP7 if you want that.
is just a curiosity question einsteins,because i see somewhere there is a galaxy s2 with windows os.i did not know is not allow that kind of questions.peace..
One does not simply ask for these kind of things -.-
Remote desktop is your saviour (Splashtop maybe?).

Not flaming, just asking:
1. Why did you get an android device if you wanted to install a different OS on it
2. Why are you asking about installing a desktop computer OS to a mobile phone
I realize you are probably asking about Windows Phone 7, but question 1 is still valid.
And what you probably saw was an S2 with the app "Launcher 7" installed on it, which is just a launcher that is made to look like and mimic Windows Phone 7.

There was rumor of a Windows Phone 7 version of the SGS2, which would have been a whole other name... But knowing Samsung, they wouldn't make things easy to flash in between versions. And anyways, it was only that: Rumors.
