Been discussed. NO chance. Going backwards to most DEV's. Time not worth it.
Move to a WM phone is your best bet.

imo search before you get flamed.
the evo will NEVER get windows mobile, if you want winmo get an HD2

i'm on sprint so dont think i can use an hd2
i think eventually someone will port wm
i dont need to have the latest device to feel like life is complete
and i can wait until then
or until all my app needs/wants/likes are met by android
is there a way to search available marketplace apps without an android phone?

http://appbrain.com

its just not worth it, every1 wants to go to andriod, not windows mobile lol

I am curious. What is it that WM can do that Android can't? Besides charge a lot more for software.
I ask because I was a huge WM fan until Android.

My patience is wearing thin. This same topic appears like 10 times on the first page of every Evo 4G sub forum. Are we being trolled by Windows Mobile fanboys or what?
Short story: If you want Windows 3.1 on your supercomputer then get in Marty McFly's time machine and go back to 1985.

thanks for the appbrain link
things are looking bright
= )
if you found a perfectly working wm rom and all the apps you ever wanted not available on android...you would be more like me and not accept less for more $$$...
a faster processor and bigger screen isn't going to get a job done without the software
i'm perfectly happy with my touch pro
i have next to nothing bad to say about it
with my 3000mah battery i'm sure it still competes with every device out there
but honestly i am seeing lots of apps filling the gap on appbrain
i may be android bound yet
we shall see

thats just great, while youre floating around get me a hoverboard! :lol:

i apologize i did search
i came up with nothing
then i found ONE other thread about porting wm to android device
thanks for bearing with me though
it has proved useful now that i can actually search available apps for android
its easy to complain...haha

If you haven't seen the choices at the Android Market then I understand your concern. The reality is that I am a Windows server admin and use my phone for work, and I have found everything I need with Android.
I bet you will too and you get an OS that is light years ahead.

yeah things look good
except that the apps cost monies
and my plan cost would more than double
i'll be waiting for sprint android device with a keyboard if at all
maybe the galaxy s, but i'm not 100% on a samsung device
just have to keep watching i guess

SENSE HD for HD2 + CAMERA = THE SECRET TO LIFE!

Or at least a good part of the answer, LOL
I have to date been unable to find any build that sports the magical combination of "Sense HD" and a working camera (on any sort) for the HD2.
Once you try Sense HD, it's really painful to go back. Kind of like having Windows 7 Ultimate, and then going back to some basic version without any of the Media Center stuff....
I realize the camera fix must be a real toughie, but still, I am surprised one of the mega-geniuses on XDA have not resolved it. The only builds I even knew of with Sense HD for HD2 were the Froyostone HD (Discontinued) and the 2 Mdeejay builds (Desire HD and Desire Z) He seems to have dropped Desire Z for some reason (too similar to Desire HD, perhaps?)
Not only does it (Sense HD, if that's even the correct term for this newest of Sense builds for Android) provide a live connection to a free account on: htcsense.com - which, in turn give you things like Scenes, Themes & Wallpaper, as well as free Phone Finder & Data Wipe services, it ALSO monitors what apps you install (if you choose this, it's optional) and.. check it:
If you start with a clean install (New data store) it goes ahead and INSTALLS all the apps you had on your phone when you last connected. This blew me away! Here I was, groaning about how many apps I was going to have to chase down, when all of a sudden I take a look and, HEY! They are all here (most anyway), a few were still installing. Sweeeet!
Really, this is ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR! Oh, what the heck: Santa, I have been good, can you conjure up a nice stable, fully functioning WP7 for me too? Thanks! (The cookies & milk will be ready 7 waitin' for ya!)

Why would you waste a wish on WP7???
IMNSHO WM6.6.5 is FAAAAR better than WP7
But yes, it is hard to go back to sense < sense HD.
Even locations with free route66 map is amazing - not sure if it's on bravo builds.
Does anyone know if the EVO builds have as good a sense as the desireHD???

True, a good HD2 desireHD port would be great. And they just released the DesireHD kernel, so I think we are getting really close to it
But all the hopes and wishes aside, why put this in the Android Development ? Maybe General would be a better place.

why is this topic in the development forum?

I liked the story xD. Nice OP, but isn't there alreddy Sense HD with working Cam?!
I thought i saw it somewhere, anyway whats the differents between Froyo and so on with sense HD?!
Noticed now that i was on Adroid Development xD, indeed OP you had to post this in discussion tread. (too many tabs open)

more pointless spam. we know everyone wants camera, but posting in the wrong forum isnt going to help it happen any faster. go buy an iphone.

still doesnt mean it belongs in development section. does this have an attachment for the fixed camera? NO? then DO NOT POST HERE. go to general, or Q&A. the devs already know how important the camera is, and dont you think they are working on it?
we arent paying them a wage for this, they do this because they like to.
so go to another forum or buy an iphone and go away.

ask android

We asked experts if in omnia7 Can start android?

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...

Android on Omnia 7

Is possible to install Android on this terminal?? There is already project?

Android will never come to a Windows Phone. There are alternative apps, just look longer than a second. Don't complain here that there are not enough apps. Buy a cheap Android phone, search for apps or just forget about their existence on other platforms, but don't complain here.

Read before making snarky comments...
"Android will never come to a Windows Phone... "
@NdotGdot -- shot yourself in the foot a bit there -- a quick check on XDA will tell you that several Windows phones have successfully been converted to Android. My own backup phone (for when/if I **** up my SGS2 -- is an HTC HD2 happily running CM10 or JB as the mood takes me and new ROMs appear).
...and in case you think I was just trolling -- I'm actually looking to see if there's an Android port for my brothers Omnia 7.
The guy (Teovenezia) wasn't complaining, just asking (he's obviously unhappy with his WP7 as is my brother).
Be tolerant brother...

Android will never be ported on Omnia 7!

The HD2 is a unique case. So your answer is NO the Omnia 7 will never run a stable, usable version of Android.
Go and buy an Android phone if you want Android, duh.

Some Windows Mobile phones can run Android, but non of the Windows Phone phones can. Windows Mobile is something else than Windows Phone. There won't be Android and that's it. Have fun or try to have fun with your Windows Phone or buy a phone with Android

i don't know you , but i have already loved you ! keep the good work you knight <3

will the future bring windows phone 7 to the desire hd?

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...
