Alternative operating system

hi guys,
its possible to install an alternative operating system on the HTC S730? For example a special Linux distribution?
greets
mike

Sure! Did you develop it?

oh.. sorry i wanted to ask if there is already a distro, because i'm not able to develop one

There are some works going on to run linux on the S710.
Maybe this is a point to start:

I pray for Android to be available eventually.

oh.. i watched the android demo video. I'm really surprised..
Will this OS run on all Smartphones? For example on our HTC Wings?

the guys over in the kaiser forum have recently got basic android running on their touchscreen devices but its uses a mixture of linux (to shut down WM and launch android!) and a 24mb cab file..! awesome thou! i tried it on my kaiser however it only ran for 10 seconds and hasnt worked since, BUT its a start!!!

is android also available for mobile phones without a touchscreen?

Yes, it is designed for both touch and non-touch.

[Q] quasi-Blackberry OS rom ?

Hello,
So I am curious, has anyone flashed/ceated a ROM that is basically the blackberry rom?
Thing is I am thinking about upgrading my phone and considering a blackberry just because my new job relies heavily on outlook thus it would be easier to be integrated on a blackberry.. So I really want to try out their OS before going out and upgrading b/c I might hate it. I dont think I can really just buy the phone and try it out for a few days so I had a quick thought; maybe someone had either like ported the Bb OS to android or made a similar rom?
Oh and before you hate up on me for wanting to leave the awesome-ness of android I must say I LOVE LOVE LOVE my g1 and am thinking it might be very hard to convert to Bb which is why I want to 'demo Bb out'. Android rules!!
thanks for your advice/help in advance..

anyone?
Is there a way to run the Blackberry OS on android ?? Has like anyone ported it or anything??

I have Google resourced this and cannot seem to find any information on whether or not this phone can install a custom Tom with android.
I would love to put android on it.
By the way I got the hd7 for free so that's why I am asking. Wp7 is OK but not for me

THere is already a sticky about this .... so no point opening another thread.
Android is not coming to HD7, as no one is working on a port.
So either be happy with Mango installed or sell it and get an android phone or trade it with the older HD2 where you can install your android

No biggie sold it already. My G2x is way better anyways

wtf? Android on WindowsPhone7? OS into another OS xD .. Maybe the idea was more like Android on HTC HD7. but interesting idea... would it be possible to have 2 OS in one? Like when u turn the phone on, you can switch between them.

Any ways to install Windows Phone on a android device

Got this idea tonight , I was thinking about this and im sure that this as been done before , is there anyways to install windows phone on an android device such as Samsung Galaxy s. Also are there some restrictions that could make this not able to do so.
If someone knows any thread or tuts this would be apreciated.
Thanks guys

windows
till now.........we cant flash windows7 os on Samsung galaxys............why u want to switch over android........which is best os in the world.

windows for smartphone came and almost gone, nobody even noticed. Android is amazing and best.

The only think I miss from Windows mobile devices is.... Age of Empires!

Because windows isn't open source, like android, I think that it impossible to port it to other devices.

Not impossible, it's been ported to HD2. And other phones I believe but i know for sure Windows 7 was not meant to be on HD2

I hate windows phone os

I don't think he was asking or opinions of the OS. I think he was inquiring to see if it was possible. I to would like to try this to see or myself and not take others word for it. I will search for a solution and update this thread with what I find.
Edit: It seems that it is not possible currently. However, there are developers that are working on a solution to that problem The main problem is the hardware that was not intended for Windows that is equipped to run Android OS. Hopefully there is spark at some point. There is a lot of talk though that Microsoft is trying to bully their way into having smartphone manufacturers load thee OS and allowing the consumer to be ale to dual boot. That article can be see over at many tech blogs including Znet.

Till now, there is not any known method to do this. Android OS is the best OS in the world. Almost every application is available for android. Also it is most customisable. I would recommend you to stay with Android and install WP launchers to get windows phone like stuff/looks

It is interesting which ideas we`ve got :good:
In my opinion:
Microsoft is something for my PC @home, and Android have to run on my device ...
One of my friends have one nokia with WP7 ,looks nice and works good ,he says - but for me nothing gets about Android , but it is only my opinion :angel:
To ask the thread:
I have never heard of any way to flash WP 7/8 on Android devices ...

Only device that got WP7 and did not run it natively were the Toshiba TG01 and the legendary HD2
So sorry, not happening as it's closed source

if its possible on hd2 its possible on devices using same hardware as of windows phone trying to develop a boot loader which helps wp7 bot on our android , any who one can help us with it ???

´cause lagdroid is only for geeks who got a lot of free time

it is always nice to running multiple OS on one phone,i think we need new bootloader same exactly like cotulla has done for HD2,this sounds good to start request to cotulla,i heard he was working for MAGLDR bootloader in HTC M7,let us see

I just write all my own apps for my WP... Android OS is a little clumsy and I think it's ugly... let me know if anyone finds out how to do this... I'd buy a galaxy in a minute if it weren't for the crappy OS.

[Q] flash windows phone onto android hardware

I know there have been some questions regarding this in the past, I am using an lg g3 and nokia 930 and I like the g3 hardware but would rather have windows phone on it than android, I've customized android to look and run like a windows phone with launcher 8 pro and im still not satisified.
is this possible now at this point to flash wp on android hardware?

if you want android buy android
if you want WP buy WP....
not possible to change and flash other systems

What about devices that are sold with WP8 OR Android Kitkat BUT have the same identical hardware?
I am referring to Tablets with Intel like these two:
WP8 version - http://smartpad.mediacomeurope.it/Prodotti/Scheda.aspx?XRC=M-IPROW810
Android KitKat version: http://smartpad.mediacomeurope.it/Prodotti/Scheda.aspx?XRC=M-IPRO810B
Same hardware, different OS. Would it be possible?

no... not possible...

May I know why? Since it is not an hardware issue, which is the reason behind this "NO"?
I think an explanation would be very useful for everyone, since until know the most common reason was "HW is different".
Thanks! :good:

because not possible... maybe phone have identical hardware but hardware not 100% same...
also did you know difference between Windows Phone 8.x, Windows 8.x RT and Windows 8.x? because your question, you dont...

So still an HW problem.
Quite a shame, from a customer point of view, since lots of users seems to like WP8 experience but are not willing to abandon their Android device / exti their Android confort zone.
[Flame] Have you ever heard of "Netiquette"? -> being polite to other people might result in other people being polite to you when in need.
By the way, yes I know the difference. I purpotedly wrote WP8 and not W8RT or W8.
I know they are not identical, which by the way means " Exactly equal and alike", 100% the same
[/Flame]

first problem (in every device if you want boot other OS or dualboot) is bootloader... manufacturer by default not make possible to load other OS... and here all stops... without bootloader hardware and others not important in that story....
if hackers (developers) make alternative bootloader for device to load other OS now come problems with hardware, drivers and other software problems... and there no custom ROM's for WP8 devices...
this is in short described way you cant load other OS... about this can write few pages but in basics this is all what you need to know... if manufacturer not want you to choose different OS you cant do anything about this...
