Installing WP8/7.5 on any other supported device - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All....It just hit out to me, can we install Windows Phone 8/7.5 on any latest devices supporting the hardware. Is this possible, is the WP8 roms available with the detailed instructions how to install.
Note - 1 thing I know XDA developers can do this
@Mods - I hope I am not crossing the rules line. If yes then delete the thread.

Tattoo ROMs/Hacking/Info Resource List (One thread to help us all!)

Before I start: If someone could sticky this, I'd appreciate it. Cheers!
I thought I'd help out and do my own thread to make a list of resources, so it's a easy ride down the road, and we're not having to hit speedbumps and look for threads ourselves. They will be under categories (Custom ROMs, Hacking, Hardware/Software Info, Misc).
Please keep this thread on-topic (discussion about this list, updating the list, etc), if you have issues carrying out anything listed here, either make a new thread with your issue or reread the instructions.
NOTE: I am not responsible for any bricked Tattoos due to user's own failure to follow instructions/people don't understand what to do and go on their own merry way and blow up their tattoo/your tattoo catches fire and explodes into a portable campfire. So, please don't sue me.
Alright, let's get down to business.

Great threat
Hi Coburn64.
Congratulations on the threat.
We really must shake the Tattoo scenne, cause it's a little bit slow.
Count on me to help you.
Thanks
Heh, thanks. I'm just helping out, as we want the Tattoo to shine. It's a excellent unit, and I can't see why it should be swept under the carpet and forgotten.

Well I just want to say that is a great phone. Screensize is maybe small, but I have Android 1.67 version with SenseUi and I must say that this is a very well designed phone with excellent screen resistive, and I gives you the support to develop as multiple applications for this phone.
Thanks for your review!

Development guides/tips/knowledge

This thread is about development, for any other guides you should look here
Hey guys, our beloved phone hasn't got so many developers. So we should encourage the users to do something with their free time, let's call it development.(I an one of them too )
So the idea is: if anyone has some knowledge maybe he will want to share with us. For example: I will do some research and if I am lucky, I will find some guides for beginners in development.
After a while we can even make a document with everything that was posted here.
Useful links:
1) http://stackoverflow.com/ //there you go, you can ask everything about development there but don't forget to come here and share what you have found
2) https://github.com/munjeni/android_device_htc_golfu //ICS CM9 sources for our phone thank you munjeni, for your work
Basic things: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Doc:_Building_Basics
You might have heard the word "git", here is a short explication from Cyanogen
How to port
*here is a nice guide for ROMS
Note: You can port from almost any device but you can try devices similar to our device like LG P500, HTC Explorer, Samsung Galaxy Ace,HTC Wildfire S, Samsung Galaxy Gio etc
*here or here is how you can port any theme to any build
!Compiling things on a virtual machine isn't that good.

Please remember that aircombat has already written some guides for the device. So this'll purely need to be a development based thread.

This version of Note has a different hardware. So this is the wrong forum (and you double posted in the other forum already).
If you search for your device in XDA you'll find many threads related to that question and with no results.
If you want to know how to flash an android device: read the tutorials that are sticky in every forum of every device. No need for the next spoon feeding...

[Q] Nokia Lumia 930 Tools?

Hi guys,
I just converted to Windows phone platform as I previously used a LG G3 Andorid device. I used xda developers alot to Mod my device such as Root Access, Unlock Bootloader, Custom Recovery and install Roms and Kernels.
My question is - Is there the same sort of things for the Windows phone? This forum for Windows 8 isn't as straight forward due to different devices that are all in the one forum " Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking "..
Could someone point me in the right direction where I may use some developer tools to unlock bootloader etc or install kernels to MOD my Lumia 930? Or is there such thing?
Hope I can get a response...
Thanks in Advanced!
Anything? These threas doesn't get acknowledged much as androids

It's not about the attention these forums get, it's more about all the guys are literally tired answering questions like these ( no pun intended ) .
So basically for now it's a "NO" for all your questions, you can't unlock ( i mean filesystem access ) your phone, and surely can't modify the bootloader, in this aspect WP is not like Android, it's focused on security ( enterprise in mind ).
For more on your question please refer to this thread > The first thread in "Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking, literally "
Also, as per the rules, please don't bump your thread more than once per 24 hours. 12 hours may seem like a long time to wait for an answer but it's still annoying when people do that. The WP community is a lot smaller than the Android community. On the other hand, as VSparxx points out, you could have had your answer easily with a little research. Currently, hacks for WP8 devices without SD cards are extremely limited. Samsung and Huawei have sort-of-custom ROMs (only limited modifications possible); HTC and Nokia don't even have that.

Vaneyen Intro

Hi, I'm Vaneyen, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I have lots of Andriod devices, and have meddled with rooting a little bit, but am not yet entirely comfortable with risking the brick. However, I am deeply interested in Hacking, which simply means "making My devices work the way I want them to." I have (with the help of Youtube bloggers) hacked Keurig coffee machines, so now it's time to get my Android devices working the way I want them to!
Hi Vaneyen and welcome to XDA! You came with experience to the right place for modding, flashing, development, etc.!
Cheers

Thank you, galaxys.
I have an Android TV box I'm looking to root, but I'm unclear of one thing. I've learned (thank you 3mel!) that the process will likely involve:
1) unlocking the bootloader (if needed),
2) flashing the correct TWRP recovery (for that series of boxes),
3) flashing magisk 21.4 in TWRP and
4) installing magisk apk.
Is there a tutorial on the site aimed at guiding someone through the process of determining the correct process for each of these steps? I've learned that my box in question has an Amlogic p212, but is that enough to go on?
Thanks for the welcome!
First post...
First post in the correct forum...
Seems like you posted good details in June in those forums.
You can bump your last post there and maybe someone will respond. Any of tutorial should be specific to your device if one exists....
I wonder if it is possible to install root rights on Apple hardware.

Good question, but I have no idea where to ask it. You may get good results if you google "how to root ios iphone" - I just did, and there are a few promising hits in there.
