Is it possible to install Windows Phone 7 (or 7.5) on LG Optimus 2X? Or is it not possible because of the hardware?
No it isnt, you would need bootloader, drivers and w7 source for that. And lot lot lot of skill, reverse engeneering and a lot of spare o2xs.

Why is there always people wanting to install Windows on Android devices... Same on my Asus tablet, people complain that Windows is not available.....
Buy a Windows device!
I was the same back in hd2 times. When wp7 came to it i was realy exited about it until i flashed it wp7 reminds me some dump one purpose only phone. The apps are bad joke and games as well.

Why would you want to do this?! As already said, buy a Windows phone!
LG E900 Optimus 7 (used) is quite cheap ...
You can try Launcher 7, i'ts a launcher witch imitates the WP7 style. Pretty good
--> Available on the market
We're all done here

Hey folks,
im just asking if anyone yet tried a port of windows mobile 6.5.xx or Phone 7 onto our Nexus?

No point in windows 6.5 that is a downgrade but seven might be worth it.

Well also meego , ubuntu, or windows 98 have been kinda ported, its not that i want it 4 daily Use, but because we can!
Phone 7 might be worth a port though...
Answered something like a thousand times.
It's a closed OS, with proprietary sources. If there will be a phone very similar in specs to Nexus, which will be running this OS - there might be a port. If not - then there won't be.
I don't believe anyone with skills to port WinMo 6.5 from HD2 would waste his time doing it.

The HTC Mozart seems pretty similar to the Nexus

Yep, I just threw up in my mouth.
There is a ROM of the HTC Mozart in the WP7 thread here, in xda.

If someone with skills want to try...
Could someone direct me to the meego and Ubuntu thread? That would be fun.

I don't think anyone is interested in this, since nexus owner aren't that many..and I think the majority of nexus owners are kind of android fanboys...
Hope i'm wrong, because i'd really like to convert my Nexus in a WP7...until Gingerbread (or whatever) comes
Currently I'm on rods muiu rom and it is great. I would love to try windows 7 on my nexus though. I'm trying to figure out how to get Ubuntu without a computer on my nexus

I think that could be interesting to run WP7 into a Nexus to play a little.
But take a look at this:

If I could try this....
I know this is off-topic but, someone here knows something about Gingerbread?
Wow the new htc phones are using the same processor as our nexus ones, it seems the hardware in all the phones are generally the same as the nexus one (apart from that extra internal storage). I wonder if porting would be possible
I think that it is possible to take WP7 on a Nexus and I really hope that!
Howewer is not a mystery that the Android Community don't like Windows and Microsoft philosophy...
I like the fact that WP7 is very polished compared to android. Hope it gets ported!
Not likely to happen. MS lawyers will have a c and d on the developer, any involved websites, etc in about two seconds. Think apple stype policing of what is entirely closed source and you can bet your ass heavily defended by flocks of attorney who are paid out of one of the biggest war chests in corporate history. The way is going to be to get a windows phone with an android brother and dual boot. That will likely happen.
Android can be polished you just have to theme it a bit. At first it seems very cruel and industrial to me.

I'd love to see WP7 work on my Nexus One. If it doesn't get ported and it does work on the HD2 I'm probably buying an HD2. Then I can use Android and WP7.

Hey guys,
i was just looking around and saw that meego has a new platform which supports tegra2 aswell. My question is, if anyone had thought about putting or the viability of meego on the optimus 2x? Since it the bootloader is not an issue here (like with the motorola atrix for instance), it shouldnt be that big of a problem or? i have an atrix myself but if we could get meego on the optimus 2x i would most probably exchange it
hers the link to the meego site: https://meego.com/downloads/releases/1.2/meego-v1.2-core-software-platform
what do you think guys?
I would like to know that why meego?.? It's really good and better than Android? I just interest and 3.1 ANDROID.

well meegoo is more like full linux, like you would have ubuntu or gentoo, but its tailored for handsets/tablets power, app and functionality wise (so you can use it as a phone), unfortunately the support for it is not really big. On the other hand Android is so to say java on top of a linux kernel, so in order to have some new app you have to do java, you cant use all the available stuff. second to that you could just connect the meego 2x over hdmi to a tv and have a full functioning linux machine so to say (with bt keyboard and mouse), thats why i was wondering, i myself have an atrix 4g, basically same board but its bootloader locked, so meego on it at least for now is out of the question, but we have webtop, which is a bit like real linux on a tv, however its some ultra crippled and old distro of ubuntu and the phone has to run two OSes (android and the ubuntu) and integrate them so that you can still use your phone as a phone, with meego its all one system, so its less resource consumable and easier to use
Me to i love meego because is an full linux os : amazing possibilitie with the hdmi cable.
Please someone could try to port meego on the O2X??
Thanks
Wasn't meego earlier ported to nexus one? That should help a lot

Hello all,
I was just wondering if dual booting Windows 7 OS and Android was possible on LG O2X. I know that it is possible on HTC HD2, but hoping that similar stuff could be there for the LG O2X.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Donate your 2x to cotulla and pray for magldr 2x edition.. that would be great start.. otherwise i think its not possible because we dont have drivers for wp7 and never will.. it was lot of reverse engeneering for hd2 which is almost identical hw wise as wp7 native hd7.

Hi i was a proudly propietary of HD2 (without any doubt the best device i ever had on my hands). The thing is the development of devices is derectly proportional with the amount of people have this one...Another way WP7 came to HD2 more than two years after first sale...So be patient...
Is it possible to port/flash Windows Phone 7 to Optimus Black? I really want to give it a try if it is possible. If HTC HD2 got it, why can't OB?
htc hd2 was actually a windows mobile
But officially no win mobile 6.5 phone got win phone 7 update right?

yep
But that's probably because HD2's internal architecture is very likeable... It support Windows Mobile 6.5, WP7, Android (Froyo-Jelly bean )
Porting another OS on an Android device would be extremely hard!!! The only ones I know is ICS in a Nokia N9 and the HD2..
If you want to port WP for Optimus Black, you should just wait WP8 which will be far better than WP7 (But I don't really see the point in having WP on our device)
(Well, I'll look into porting Firefox OS when it'll be stable enough (We can currently run it on Crespo, SGSII, and GNex) or Open webOS)
Actually Windows Phone 7 OS only support snapdragon processors and our lg optimus black has an cortex A8 processor which is not supported by windows phone 7 hecne we cannot port it to optimus black

No one frome the developers can port windows phone 7 or 8 to optimus 2x? I'm verry curious how it is the wp7 or 8 on android devices
P.S. and NO I wil not buy a windows phone 7/8 smartphone because I'm not a millionaire, its not what I asked for. This is just a simple coriousity question
The only way is installing wp apps from play store (launcher, lock screen, contacts etc), there's no way to get to work proper WP on our phones. I think the only possible phone is HTC HD 2 (which is originally a WP6.5 phone), that can run Android and WP7 the same time.
