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??

Would it be possible to have Android on this phone since its basically the same phone as the hd2
I assume you mean as a duel boot? As i see a lot of people asking to put android on it yet they could just buy the htc desire hd an almost identical phone that is designed to work with android. tbh i would love to see some sort of emulator for a couple of the apps but i am so so glad to be rid of android i loved it but it felt like an early 90's computer all basic with no flair.
I think it would be possible but it will be glitchy and a long time off my advise would be if you want android to buy an android device they have a lot to choose from.

its more advanced then the HD2 and has less touch buttons
however its a bit of a silly question IMHO. If you want android get the Desire HD.
Why put a round peg in a square hole ?
I actually think it's a great question.
Why would people want it? because it gives you CHOICE!
It would be great if you could dual boot with Android and WM7 so you get the best of both worlds: taking advantage of Android whilst also using WM7 while it matures. I'd absolutely love to have a device with android and WM7.
Wish I was a developer, I'd work on that project straight away! I'd pay to have a dual-booting HD7 (or desire HD!) !
Bring it on dudes!
Wow please close this thread since there are so many options available for android these days and if anyone needs a android phone they should buy an android phone
I'm not sure I agree with the last poster. T-mobile has no android alternative to the HD7 that I am aware of.

really? for tmous or t-mobile europe? Cause there is the g2 and mytouch4g that just came out android...
To the OP, considering how the hd2 android is booted from the sd card and technically, there is no sd card on the wp7 (once it's inserted it becomes program memory), I don't think this is happening anytime in the future. Gotta agree, that dual booting for computers can be important to some people, but for phones, I just don't see it happening with the newer os's.
I'm a layman with no technical knowledge, just interested, so my comment was more on a visceral level than technical. To clarify, what I meant to say was that '...there is no android alternative ...... I am aware of'...' regarding the large screen format of the HD7. I bought a G2 but returned it because it was bulky, and I decided that I did not need the slide out keyboard. I really liked my first foray into the andriod world during my two weeks using the G2, and was hoping that I would be able to use the HD7 with android as well.
PS. I'm in Florida.

If he wants Android, tell him to go get an Android phone if it's within 14 days, otherwise, it'll be awhile before Android comes to the HD7.

I agree. I don't get it. WinPho7 is amazing. If you want andriod, dont get a brand new phone that just came out with a new windows version. Sure andriod has its perks, but so does Windows. I've had Apple, Andriod and Windows, and I just dont get the point of changing something off the bat. Altho He is probably thinking that the HD7 is like the HD2, with WinPho6.5, which I personally did not like. But it did have its perks too, like multitasking. I don't think many realize how long and how much work it took to bring Andriod to the HD2. I'm not a developer myself, but I can only imagine!
hd7
Okay I find out there is a phone out that's come close to the hd7.. its called HTC desire HD.. its looks just like the hd7 but the only thing defferent is the cam. Which is a 8mp instead of 5mp and its a android phone.. its not windows..
Just get a desire HD if you want an android powered 4.3 inch screen

If you want an android phone.. Why are you buying a hd7??
The answer is maybe. If you want Android, get an Android phone. There is a high likelihood that someone will at least attempt to port Android to the HD7. Whether or not it will be anytime soon, if it will be stable/usable, or if it will actually happen at all remains to be seen. My advice is not to buy a phone on the hopes that Android will be ported to it.
My sis has a HD7 and she has asked me if I can switch it over to Android. I am new to flashing from a windows based phone to a Android based rom and I was wondering just how easy this process will be. I am not looking for something that I will have to constantly update, but something to get her from Windows to Android.
I would love to flash Miui on her phone, but I know every week there is something new to flash so that wouldn't do her any good.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

She bought the phone off of ebay and does not like the way windows works. She has another phone that has android but it cant do netflix. I told her that I would try but not sure exactly how to do it.
You can't install android on a phone built for Windows Phone 7... yet. Its certainly possible, in the future, but I don't recall anyone working on Android for these phones.
Buy an android phone is the solution to your problem.
look up craigslist and trade your hd7
a g2 is android and has netflix

huge no of software available for winmo 6.5
Win6.5 is way to buggy. This is what almost kept me from getting a new Windows Phone. Plus the market place is closed. Only the old stuff is out there with no new software, updates, or upgrades for that OS. I have been using a windows based phone for years and you really have to be a guy that loves to tinker with programming on the regular.

Exactly. You have to tinker with WM a lot, but once you do, and if oyu do it right, you have a powerful and snappy smartphone for a nice price nowdays. Mine is not buggy at all. Far less then some Android phones.
MOds Delete this please!

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.

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.
Hey all is it just me or are the Microsoft apps getting much better now (i do mean android versions and i dont mean windows os)
They look and run so nice on my nexus.... i know can not believe i just said that myself
what u guys think ?
Why does your subject line read "Windows"? It should just say Microsoft. MS does make software for many different operating systems.

Its one of the best and the most stable OS around, the trouble is that nobody wants it (or MS can`t sell it)
Got their mail app, onenote and onedrive.... they work great and look great on android i have never used a newer windows phone (or os or whatever u want to call it, still windows in my eyes) so i wonder if they look and feel like that on their own os.

I had some windows phones and the OS is very efficient and works fluid and fast even with a 2 cored cpu. Android is much more power and RAM hungry then WP8.1 or iOS.
thanks for the feedback mate
