Windows Mobile 7?

health, I will be breaking down here because I do not know english: D
My question is if it would somehow go to the Windows Mobile 7 on Touch 2.
if there is somewhere I'm sorry I'm a beginner: D

If you're asking if the touch 2 will be able to run windows phone 7 OS then almost certainly not, sorry
The real question is, would you want to? apart from being nice to look at, WP7 is very limited.

Not almost certanly, its 100 000 % sure

I know, I was being a little too kind.
Like I said, for me, the negatives outweigh the positives when it comes to wp7, only the new ui is improved. and the xbox live integration.

Keep in mind guys that you can not run any existing application on WM7 (change of operating system)....requires new development of all software.....
Not sure if I want WM7.....untill enough freeware is available.....

WM7 is not out as of now, so you won't find ANY device with WM7 AFAIK.
As far as running WM7 on Touch2 ... well unless it is released - who can say? I have seen some great things in this forum - which I never thought was possible.
So, may be you should wait in anticipation.. it just might .

Maybe you are right and we judge too early......but based on what Microsoft has announced sofar it is not very encouraging. And the many software operating developments by the various phone manufacturers shows the innovation weakness of microsoft.
Also the XDA community has shown that they can turn microsoft software into something workable.....and there is no reason why this can not be done with WM7.....

Yeah! M$ is only to make Dollars . Thats why I trust xda more than M$ or even HTC .
If it was to M$, I would have never been able to run WM 6.5 on my Vox .
So, let us keep our fingers crossed .

But when it comes to port another OS to the Touch2, won't be Windows Mobile 7 easier than Android ?

Meego canceled

Nokia have decided to take WP7 and dump meego.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/...ore-symbian-and-meego-details-android-explor/
Elop clarified that MeeGo will ship this year but "not as part of another broad smarpthone platform strategy, but as an opportunity to learn." Something that sounds very similar to position Nokia took with its so-called "experimental" Maemo-based N900 last year. After the first (and apparently, only) MeeGo device ships this year, the MeeGo team will then "change their focus into an exploration of future platforms, future devices, future user experiences." Trying to determine the "next disruption" in smartphones.

Apparently, they will still release one phone with Meego, but what's the point? It won't have nearly enough big community to compete with other systems.
Although i would love to see my HD2 running Meego, I'm thinking that porting this may be a waste of time.

I didn't see what the big fascination with MeeGo was anyway?

They can't just build an OS then drop it like that.
either way, I still want MeeGo on my HD2 .

Ummmm...
Nokia was only one of the two major backers of MeeGo, and the project is controlled by the Linux Foundation. MeeGo definitely isn't canceled, and if 1.2 ends up looking good it's quite likely it will get picked up by others. Too many companies want an alternative to Google without being caught in the Microsoft dead-end.

Pocketnow.com is reporting some interesting info regarding MeeGo and HTC http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/intels-meego-smartphone-prototype-teases-a-new-htc-partnership. Remains to be seen what this means.

Linux Foundation as mentioned by superhyper and intel are still backing up MeeGo.
MeeGo is the most open OS for Mobile devices and development on it should never be stopped no matter what those corporations think or do !.

So what if NoKia is in't supporting MeeGo, we still have Intel supporting it & with its open sourceness I am sure HTC will think of it some way & that day it'll definately be BiG..!!!

I would love to have MeeGo on my HD2

Infact i wolud love to have MeeGo, Ubuntu, Android, WP7 and WinMo6.5 , all of these together, on my HD2

more wood for the fire ......
http://m.engadget.com/default/article.do?artUrl=http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/14/editorial-intel-keeps-pushing-meego-but-why/&category=classic&postPage=1

From what I've seen the UI doesn't really seem all that novel or impressive?

hmm was kinda looking forward to this, tried wp7 and android.

Yeah, Intel is still supporting Meego. But Intel sells x86 processors, so i guess they will focus mainly on x86 version, while HD2 is ARM.

Doesnt matter that nokia is dropping it as nokia isnt that big of player in the smart phone scene as it was and is supassed now. Nokia is trying to rebrand itself leaving room for other players on the field. Having a company like HTC on field i know who ill support. Especially after buying are N97.
Intel dual core in a HTC phone runnong a packed linux OS send it on

You would be surprised how big of a player Nokia really is.
Sure, Americans and Britons don't see it, but you should look around mainland Europe.

Sure their still the largest manufacturer of mobile phones but when it comes to smart phones theyve slept on it. Think even LG is the 3rd and its an infint on the mobile market. Even the hardiest Nokia fan can be whooed away. On that key first dual core phone goes to LG. Nokia will still do well as they have alot of the technology that made the phone smart.

uhm, maybe the fact that it is a proper linux distribution made to work on a phone, and not a castrated os made to sell your personal data and soul to google like android is?

good post!

Nokia's MeeGo device will be called N950, will be out this year
No one is canceling MeeGo.
Nokia rumors are saying the are going to be bought by Microsoft.... but those are rumors!!!

Possibly good news on the horizon... Nokia announces another chief for Meego

[Q] Windows Phone 7

Hi everybody !
I've read that some peaple want to have a Windows Phone 7 port to DHD and I think that it will be interesting.
Everytime, response is "it's not possible, Android is open source and not WP" or "hardware is not the same" but I take a little search and I found that HTC Radar have the same CPU like Samsung Focus S and Nokia Lumia 710.
Nokia Lumia 710 have the same GPU too !
With this, is it possible to port Windows Phone 7 to DHD ?
Thank for your answers !

OK your missing the fact that wp is not opensource witch means that it can't be modded to run on non windows devices.
And as you said that you found the other replies you should have known that the main problem is that its closed source which can't be changed

Beat me to it.

Nexus 5X - Windows 10 [Port][Leak]

The Google–LG masterminded device has all the hardware needed to make an example of the platform. After all, the smartphone is spec'd close to the Microsoft Lumia 950, complete with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset. The Lumia 950, however, has a Quad-HD resolution AMOLED display and more RAM memory.
Unfortunately, we have absolutely no idea where you can get your hands on a Windows 10 ROM or launcher for the Nexus 5x. The operating system hasn't been made publicly available, Microsoft won't be porting it to a non-Lumia device anytime soon (although Xiaomi handset owners might be in for a surprise), and the video is ripe with mistification as a whole.

Read this today morning. What do you guys think?

Pretty interesting. Hoping more details would come out soon.

Interesting

This would be pretty cool in combination with multirom

Indeed it will. Dual boot is required >.>

Any information when it will be available?
It's in MS hands to enable it on any device isn't it?
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA-Developers mobile app

Not sure why I would want this. Isn't Windows 10 dead on mobile?

Any news on this ? :fingers-crossed:

Imagine, Sailfish OS full-support with GApps and then dualbooted with this. Wow.

Download of this rom available ?????

Does anyone have the slightest idea on how they went about porting this rom? Did they just say screw it, and flash the rom from the Xiaomi Mi4, or would they have had to do any significant modifications beyond slight stuff, such as changing around build.prop and like files?

It's Windows. No modifications needed on a per-device basis. But you might need to replace the bootloader with a BIOS...

Are you sure? IMO it doesn't work this way on smartphones.

Sounds interesting but it could take a lot of storage though..

Ik that. But unless they've patches Windows to read kernel booting, then it would need a BIOS. You're probably right, it probably doesn't need that and can support it.

i might out looking for this rom for future

Windows 10 Mobile needs UEFI so...we don't have that here so we have to emulate it. Lumia 950 has the same SoC so it is posibile in someway to get it working on 5X.

How can i get benefit from 950 XL

Hello All,
I have almost a brand new device that working just fine, I want to know if there is anyway to use this device again ?
Not as a windows phone device of course but is there any upgrade/convert can be done to the device to make it usable again ? even as a entertainment device not a functional phone.
Thanks in advance

Appreciated

I put Windows 11 on my test Lumia and found out how useless it is. I don't want to think what massacre Android is doing on this hardware.
