Just saw this post over at wmpoweruser.com, and thought I would share it over here. Looks like HTC gives XDA a big pat on the back
This tidbit is not exactly ground-breaking, but it is an answer to a question that has been asked many many times:
How is it that XDA-Developers still exists, despite the rampant hacking of the Windows Mobile operating system and OEM software (especially HTC’s) that occur there.
aqtrans put this question to HTC’s official representative on twitter:
@htc since you don’t backport OSes, how do you feel about the community filling that void? I’m running WM6.1 on my Wizard thanks to them.
@aqtrans while we can’t officially comment on backporting OSes, we will say that we are happy there is such a vibrant developer community!There is no doubt im my mind that Windows Mobile would not be half as popular as it is now without the support provided by XDA-Developers, which to my mind ads a vibrancy to the platform lacking from more dull platforms like the Blackberry OS or Symbian. I am glad even HTC realizes the value of this very important community, which will hopefully continue going from strenght to strenght.

Hi,
I was looking for this topic on google, and later on Xda forum but I found nothing. From many years I was working with Windows Mobile, and now my friend asked me to instal Windows on his Htc Dream and I was totaly schocked, when I realise that nobody wanted to change Android to Windows Mobile.
Is there any way to do it? Or can you give me any links to [ROM] Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5 for Htc Dream
Thanks for help!
use the search function its been asked before, as far as i remember, no one cares to make a port because why put a bad OS on a phone with a good OS?
It might be possible to port it from the Leo(Not out yet) since it has a capacitive screen. But we would still have to fix the rom to fit the screen size and the drivers and such so it might not even come.
I am glad someone else has posted this, last week i was looking for some info on this and noticed all of the WinMo threads were closed.
I am hoping that WinMo makes it to the G1, i plan on buying a Cliq when they are released so the G1 is going to be a play/spare phone and it would be cool to play around with Winmo 6.5 and whatnot. I know a lot of people said WinMo sucks, but on decent hardware like the G1 it should be better.
Also as i was looking around dba.net i noticed a lot of the new HTC WinMo phones have the same chipset, CPU and whatnot. Hopefully this will make porting it a lot easier for some cooks and we will see WinMo on the Dream hardware sometime in the near future =)
While we're at it why don't we put the iphone os on the G1 too.
Maybe not iPhone software, I think Symbian S60 is better
But let's back, is there anyone on the earth who has already cooked this rom or it's only hoping that after a lot of time there will be a person, who will answer on our requests and make rom for g1??

Well I know you couldn't tell but I was being sarcastic with the iphone os. And people got the G1 to have android and not windows mobile. I doubt anyone will ever build a windows mobile rom for the g1. So don't hold your breath.

Yessir me too. Plus you just won't have the support for moto like you do with htc.
You're shocked that nobody would want to put GARBAGE in place of GOLD?
If you want GARBAGE, why buy a PREMIUM SMARTPHONE?

It would be too hard anyway. I doubt the experienced devs for android are gonna spend time rewritting the drivers and going all out of their way for winmo. They would probably much rather work on making their android roms better

OK, but when they pass case that Android isn't the best OS they could have, they want to change it for another OS, exactly for Windows Mobile. And now they havn't any possibility to do it.
Maybe for some of them Android is the BEST OS, but not for all.
So topic has ended. Ok, I see that all of you affirm Android is the best thing which was made for this smartphone.
But I will be thankful, when someone cooks Windows Rom for G1.
the g1 is only one of the army of android phones .. the statements you made is said by members who have not really fully experienced android , I loved w_mobile over the iphone , but then android came along , so i filed for a divorce ,, now I fully support android .,..,
android= most complete, refined mobile os. period. and i have an iphone too. it sucks. least flexible mobile os ever. even with jailbreak
only thing good about it is that there's a crapload of fart apps.
I wouldn't say that Android is complete..... there are still a lot of things to be implemented.
However, Android is handsdown the best MobileOS thanks to the 3rd party community
Hi developers do you think that we can put wp 7 on x1 ? if so then please cook it.
Thanks
No, Sys. req. of WP7 is to high for X1
Windows Phone 7 WILL NOT be supported on ANY current WinMo Phones
Why did you post here? This is the android section!
And why did you put a exclamation mark behind it?
win mob 7 on x1
in the youtube clip below at 0:56 you can see that man use a xperia x1 phone from the keyboard, so i think that is possible to run wm7 on x1

That is just a promo video, nothing real.
People who post ridiculous topis like this, in the wrong place, should be banned immediately. Do your research before asking stupid questions. Reading forum rules wouldn't hurt as well...
why not？ i want to use wp7 on my x1 very much！
It's not even possible. You'd have to recompile the WP7 kernel to even run on Qualcomm 72XX CPUs. To do this you'd need access to the source code, which Microsoft probably guards very very heavily.
Since the first Android ROM running on the HD7 has appeared, is it time to start making new sections for the HD7? We all know how much development the HTC Leo a.k.a. the HTC HD received and it is only natural to expect the HD7 to receive just as much attention from the developers.
So what are your opinions on this? Should there be an Android section? Please comment below...
The first Android ROM video for the HD7 is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na44-qBtY8M&feature=player_embedded

Well we need more votes then just 14! C'mon people, exercise your right to vote
I voted yes. I would love to see a viable HD7/Android development section. It might help spur more development as well.
yes they should make a android section
Yes
Devs should make section for android development in hd7

I knew there were people wanting Android on their HD7 , why not get the Inspire 4G, Thunderbolt, or EVO 3D...we'll never know
I only want it for bragging rights. I wouldn't actually use is as my main OS. More of a play ground to p!ss about with.
Yes. Android would be nice for HD7.

All my friends with their HD7's are jealous of my Ultimate Droid running HD2......They are begging to have droid on their phones but until now I have been saying it's not possible....
I would love to have Android on the hd7. I need wireless tether and it looks like the only way to get it is to have Android installed on this phone
Dual Boot ♥
i wud love to have android on mi wp7
would be just amazing.... love to have droid on my WP7
Yeah I'm down to pick up a hd7 on my other line to run some android goodness do it up sir's
Sent from my UD Glacier
I need the Android port to my HD7... It was cheaper than the Desire HD, so I bought this one. The design of the HD7 is also far better, than the DHD's. But, the OS.. Unusable.. I bought it to use it, not to be connected to a PC whenever I want to do something with it.. There is no download option for files? Where are we? It's not a smartphone, if my very-very old SE v800i have much more abilities, than this one. No 3gp support. XD The most common mobile video file format. With Android I could use it as a smart phone, that doesn't need to be plugged to pc all the day and it could be a portable, mobile(!!) device.
AT LEAST I SOLD IT!!! back to the old Touch Pro 2 The WP7 is a horror...
HD7... Android... T-Mo.... CONFUSED!
So I called T-Mobile yesterday to see if I can get an android instead of my HD7 but it was a no-go for i have missed my 14 day return period but the person on the line told me that I could RUN ANDROID on my HD7 and it works and it can be done BUT it VOIDS my warranty (which I knew) and it's kinda timely and drawn out and to check XDA for ALL the answers to my questions but I have yet to find anything really useful. HELP PLEASE
P.S. I got the phone for free thats why I have it
[EDIT] sorry if it's in the wrong spot but I sick with a case of the N00bs
I would donate 200 bucks or more if somebody makes an android rom for HTC HD7 and i bet a lot of others would donate also.
This phone is even better than hd2 why doesn't nobody want to start making an android rom for it, it shouldn't be that hard i guess.
But is the HD7 any better than a desire HD which already runs Android. I prefer the case design that's for sure - the hd7 is a pain to keep clean and the sharp edges are prone to chipping

Because most people bought the phone with intentions of using Windows Phone 7? You don't buy an iPhone to use Android do you? He is simply bringing up a valid point, the desire HD is better than the HD7 if you want Android.
Second, Windows Phone 7 is nowhere near as hackable or open as Windows Mobile on the HD2. It obviously is not that simple. Even on the HD2, it look a good half year before the early releases of Android on SD were even released.
Dacook2, all one has to do is look at your 6 posts on xda to find out who submits useless comments. First you want cab files now Android. You clearly never bothered to use the search feature, where these things have been addressed many times over.
Pro tip: do some research before you a) buy a phone and b) post troll crap on a developer forum. take your 200 dollars and buy a clue.

Why don't you just take those $200 and go register a new contract with your carrier for a new phone ?
Register with T-Mobile 2-years contract for an HD7, paid nearly $200 and then now begging someone else to make an Android for a Windows Phone.
If i don't mind, please allow me to ask you straight : "Are you $tupid?"

Where's the mods in this section? Lock these stupid useless threads, three Android threads, one is getting filled with rants by some Sandra user, the other one you have idiots demanding you tell them how to brick their phone with clone hd7 rom, and now this? Thread needs to be locked, its useless and stupid. There are people on this board that do want to see real info on the status, not retarded threads that lead to nothing
wow you guys are really rude what kind of a community is this ?
you gang up on some new member and flame him as much as you can.
this is my topic it doesn't have to do with any other phone i made this topic only to say i would donate for this development to make somebody be interested in making it if it's money he is asking.
Why do you come and read this kind of topic if you have no interest in.
You are just here to flame new members showing off how many posts you have.
In the rules there is nothing that states about that i am not allowed to ask questions about HD7 phones and yes i have used the search button i couldn't find what i was looking for that is why i made these 2 threads.
If you don't like me that is another story pm your msn and let's talk it through but don't derail my topics saying my posts are useless of course they are useless to you because its my questions.
If somebody from you doesn't have something wise to say please GTFO of my topics.
I think the moral of the story is not to start new threads that have already been covered dozens of times.
You stated you searched for Android development but couldn't find anything, yet you posted on the "HD7 and Android" thread before starting this one? Also, when you created this topic, you must have seen where it lists topics of a similar nature?
It leads back to my question on your other thread to do with .cab files, did you not look into the phone/OS when you bought the device?
The key thing to remember is that this is a Developer forum.
Threads such as this are basically redundant. Asking questions or asking for help is fine, but requesting developers waste their time on porting over an OS that is readily available on a number of handset that look and act almost identical to the HD7 is holding back the development of this OS, which understandably annoys the Majority of us in the HD7 section.
Lets not just jump over board kids.
Donate someone to make android is quite silly. Again no one will believe such thing and 200 wouldnt be happy enough. You would donate more then 1,000 to someone but that again would be quite stupidty.. However i can understand your frustration as much as i am.
Windows phone 7 marketplace use useless wonders.. theres nothing i enjoy there for apps. I do more apps on the phone then making calls.
So lets fingers cross for android for HTC HD7 should we ? we are all together into this.
cheers
sandra
I have 39 post so you saying I'm trying to show off my count or bring rude is ridiculous.
I see a lot of good points in this thread. I personally would like to see HD7 get Android, even though there are better phones for running Android OS alone. However, I like to peak and tweak what I have, so I would enjoy having a phone running an os that isnt supposed to have it, with the option of going back (since I cant make up my mind, nor leave a perfectly good working phone alone for 10 seconds). I am currently running an HD2 with Typhoons Cyanogenmod, and I love being able to do anything I want to my phone whenever I want. I can't wait to get ahold of the HD7. I appreciate all the devs and all their hard work. I have gone through 5 different tmobile android phones in the last 6 months, and XDA has been THE site for me. I am currently trying to learn a bit about how the android os works (hardware handling, coding, etc), so I can add to the already awesome pool of devs that are here. XDA is the best, and I appreciate all the efforts.
I think we all need to remember what our mothers use to tell us "If you don't have something nice (or helpful) to say why don't you just shut yer' cakehole"

Thank God i think there is a future for this community after all if members like this one interact here.
I am so happy i could **** rainbows.
Remember kids. If wp7 doesnt get android for HD7 the only smart thinking is toi buy a tablet. with android built in. Never a tablet with wp7 obviously.
Tablets are now more and more available and relaly just the cost of a small price for a 10.1 sizes screen.
So we can get the tablet not an (ipad2) because are all not into apples. But a nice tablet 10.1 for android. And the phone HTC HD7 will just stay as it is with wp7 so there for u have android on the tablet and wp7 on the other device. And take the tablet around with you everywhere you go. After all a phone that that small screen is still really a small screen to beging with.
10.1 screen tablet will make you happyness.
You r going hard on him i think that his offer is good.sometimes we look for the change just because it's a change
it's not a matter of which is better wm7 or android but it's interseting to be able to use more operating systems on the same phone
Ha we're rude!! I point out to you that you're barking up the wrong tree trying to get Android running on the wp7 version of an Android phone and you start taking offence. You're just whinging because you bought the wrong phone

Excatly. I loved my HD2 and kept it for as long as I could before getting HD7. The only reason I run android on it is to see if I like it more then WP7.
All in all Android was good but interface speed was frustrating, so I tested Desires S in a shop and it worked the same way. Only now that I tested Motorola Atrix I would go with Android phone as it is easilly fast enough to run Honeycomb android on it. Normal Android is very fast on it.
You did not see what WP7 is about, what it can and can not do, what are the apps just went bought a fashion accessory like many iphone users do/did.
