WP7 on epic?

Is it possible? Id love to play with it lol
Edit
Someone delete this lol I change my mind

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

Incompatible hardware, closed source OS, and a dozen other reasons.

I want sense 3.0 on my EVO.

I currently read on engadget that HTC removes the hardware requirements for sense 3.0 so how can I get sense 3.0 on my EVO 4g running 2.3.3
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Well, that hasn't happened yet. The only way to get a newer version of sense is to flash a custom rom with it. Mikg 2.5 has a mix of 2.1 and 3.0. Its a good rom. Look in the dev section
We're comin from a pure power source.

Is that a gingerbread Rom
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

MikG is gingerbread. I'm pretty sure all the 2.1 + 3.0 and 3.0 ROMs are gingerbread.
Just curious, what hardware requirements issues are you running into with a stock 2.3.3 EVO?

None exactly I was just going by what engadget was quoting. I really do want a rooted gingerbread Rom.

Depends... what HBoot are you running? If 2.15 or 2.16, you are going to have to possibly do a virtual machine because Revolutionary only works on Windows and Linux.

I have no clue...wait 2.15 I remember from having to manually get my phone to gingerbread in the ffirst place

I tried it and it failed for me. It was so slow I had to go back to stock. I tried setcpu and v6 and all kinds of memory saving apps and nothing worked.. what did you do to get it running clean and smooth as you said? I love sense 3.0 but can't deal with an almost unusable phone.

I was running it for a week. Its not that fast. Its somewhat laggy and a memory hog! But I am assuming the lag is due to the memory usage. If that is fixed its totally worth the rom! They have done a good job integrating it. Now just need to fix the amount of space it takes to be running!

Take a look at http://revolutionary.io/ It works on Windows and linux. If your running mac, you may be able to run the linux version. Check the forums. Or find someone to run it for you on a windows machine. This will unlock your boot loader. You will then be able to root your phone with the zip off there site.

Synergy Kingdom is a very good Sense 3.0 ROM. I've been using it for about two weeks and haven't had any issues with it at all. The battery life is decent, but I just got a 3500mah battery that, so far, has helped quite a bit. Overclocked to 1152MHz using InteractiveX on Lithid's Freedom kernel. Very nice.

Find a friend. There are enough windows PC's around that it shouldn't be hard.
If not, I suggest booting a live linux CD (or live USB linux distro) and rooting from there. Booting off a Live Linux boot cd is easy enough. Insert the cd in your macbook and hold alt during the bootup process.
Also, boot camp might be a good option as well. Its generally useful to have a Windows installation around.

dude, flash Shooter and done! you have 3.0 sense!!

Kinda a ROM is the OS with the UI packaged in it, each dev has tweaked the ROM for optimal performance and included extra features. Like synergy has sense 2.1 with 3.0 features. Still android 2.3.3 but with a different visual approach.

iOS vs webOS

Webos? Dead now but still one of the best OS's of all time
iOS? Extremely popular and but webos is better in terms of functionality.

Either you are really drunk or you need a really big hug.

hey, do you think you could port commodore 64 or Atari 2600 OS to the fascinate? that would freakin rock!! this ice cream sandwich stuff is crap..
Atari FTW!!!

I could port webos. But here's a problem. After you install, you wont be able to get back to android for ANY reason. Without source I have to port /sbin directorys from the pre. So that means no recovery. But you could install kernels from unixphysho. But still. I may not do it because of you can get back.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

WebOS would be awesome but unless it could be dual-booted or reverted then no way would I want to use that. And iOS is pretty much impossible to port. If you get either done then more power to ya but it is doubtful. You should use the ICS source release to make us a solid ICS rom.

Along with iOS, i also have web ics in my pants. You could say theres an os party in my pants. Everyones invited!!

I realize this is off topic but... I've been a huge fan of jared's work on the ICS but as far as the 4.0.3 for right now I'd recommend Decks which is in the alpha stage now and is a bit more stable than jared's 4.0.3.

1. Go to the EVO 4G Android Development forum.
2. At the top right hand corner of the threads, click the "search this forum" button.
3. In the box, type what you want to search for. In this case, "decks ics" without the parentheses.
4. Its the first result of the search.

I recommend, the ramen mod by the bakery. Runs great for alpha stage

Again, the best way to find that all out would be to look for the thread under android development and find team ramens thread for that Rom. I can tell you that its based off of Deck's work with some different stuff thrown in there though. Pretty much all of the different ICS roms for the evo 4g have the same things working, and none of them have working cameras or 4g/wimax working as far as I know.

does the camera work on decks? so far i havent found one yet that works

is there a an estimated time frame on when camera will work on the ics roms for evo.
i know they say never ask for ETA's but just like a mental time frame (2-3 months or so?)
thats really the only thing holding me back from flashing ics, 4g is a sacrifice im willing to make

To keep things closer to your dad's experience there's FishmanMod which is an update to a very popular Bionix -v 1.3.1 Rom. It will fly compared to stock but everything works and it won't be totally unfamiliar to the dad.

be careful, the GS4g and Vibrant may look the same, but their flashing procedures are a bit different. read up and then do it.

Adding on to xriderx66, use this guide if you need a reference when backing up & flashing a custom rom to your dads phone... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
Since he's already rooted start from: "OKAY, I HAVE ROOT - NOW WHAT? BACKUP!!!"

If your dad is happy with the stock ROM (with the exception of the speed) then I would definitely suggest going with something like the fishman mod that is based on the stock 2.2 ROM. That'll make sure he still has all the stock apps and such. I used Bionix for a LONG time and was always really happy with it.

I'm gonna show him bionix and see what he says

I suggest showing him Fish's version of Bionix for the mere reason that Fishman is supporting it daily, while Team Whiskey is no longer.
