Can we have a windows 8 rt port? the arquitecture is the same ARM , so its possible isnt?
You realize Windows is a closed source commercial product? Even in the off chance someone managed to ported it there is ZERO ways for it to be made available to the public without breaking 1000 laws
and windows phone 8?
The exact same thing.
You will not be seeing a port.

If you manage to emulate EFI stuff, or whatever bootloader Windows tablets use, something could happen. Even then, there would be plenty of driver issues.
However if you manage to make it usable, it should work just fine. You won't be able to snap apps, though, due to N7 having a lower resolution than 1366x768.

The HTC HD2 actually ran Microsoft software originally, so it's possible the drivers were actually compatible.
The Nexus 7 has never had any Microsoft OS running on it.
I'm sorry, but this just isn't going to happen.

because why the hell not?
choice is always good.
Another one of these threads... great. Never gonna happen. Closed source, no drivers, N7 does not meet the hardware specs even if Redmond did sell just licenses, and so on and so forth.
Not to mention it would be a cut and dry legal issue since the one and only way you'd see it outside of being preinstalled on a retail device is warez . Historically, the folks in Redmond have been pretty aggressive in protecting their flagship OS. Given that they've heavily vested the future of the company in 8, it's a given that the trend is going to continue,

You actually went there and compared windows mobile to android hahahah
I am being forced into using the htc hd2 for work.
And windows mobile have to be the biggest piece of **** i have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with.
The htc hd2 is such an amazing piece of hardware but windows mobile completely kills it.
Why would you even think about doing something like this?
And what software are you talking about? wm more the android?
I cant even find a bank of america, pandora, last.fm simple apps like that for windows mobile.
You are not worthy of the droid.
can a mod please close this thread? it's an obvious troll
hm, who is the troll?
The person who just asked a simple question, or the people who have to run to bash him? Don't think you hard, you might hurt yourself
A dual boot would be kind of cool. The one thing that bothers me the most about android is not having native windows office support. It would be nice to get a real MS office program on my nexus.
I hate the viewers and I'm not really sure I want to try an editing software for $15 which probably is crappy.

I think this may have its own advantages actually...although I did move from the HD2 to the N1 almost solely for Android...it would be nice to be able to use Windows Phone 7 though (thinking that the games for it would be nice, the preview is nice after all)....
Honestly, if someone made some kind of emulation for it, I'd do it just because "my phone can handle it" etc.
I'm sorry, you missed April Fools Day about 29 days ago! FAIL!
Wow I guess android fan boys are just as rabid as the apple ones. Who knew? I know that it goes against logic that someone may actually like windows mobile..
I came from WM to android because its so boring!...
I luv android and its apps!
Yes, steady guys!

Why so? This is a forum relating to development and discussion of mobile devices, more or less, don't see why the Playbook shouldn't have a section.

Why has the iPhone got its own site?
Different company.
Remember, before Samsung, ZTE, Asus, etc got on this forum, it was all HTC.
They added other phones cos the OS was shared. Then HTC released Android and WP7 phones.
If HTC released a BlackBerry or iPhone, it'd be here for dev work, so then Apple and RIM would get on XDA.
Probably not Apple since they now have iPD.
If we have WP7 here, a Playbook forum would hurt no one.

WP7 does fit in. XDA was started for HTC Windows Mobile devices. They then extended it to Android devices, and devices made by other companies (GASP!). Then they added WP7 devices. If anything, Android is the odd one out, being as how it isn't made by M$.

Man I have been looking for themes for Vista and the only ones out there I can find want you to buy a third party app for $20 to install them on my laptop.
M$ site has zero themes for Vista even though you can change your theme where you personalize windows (right click desktop>personalize>themes)
I have googled enough to know that I need to patch Vista to allow third party themes but I am leary to do that when I know nothing about the sites I would be downloading from.
Just need a nudge in the right direction. Want to change the look of Winblows. Not just colors and background. Really kind of like to find an Android type theme.
Any help would be appreciated.
Running Vista Home Premium SP2
Considering going to 7 soon though and there appear to be a lot of themes for it out there but don't know if they need the third party app. M$ has like 4 themes.
Rainmeter (I think that's what it was called) my themeing days were 5 years ago, should've asked me then. Lol

Also, you can check on one of the boards on 4chan, I think it was wallpapers. There is usually a guide on how to theme desktops. That's where I learned my stuff from, and I had some crazy themes, and you couldn't tell it was any OS you know.
And before anyone says something, 4chan is a great site for many things. Its only looked down upon because of the /b/ board. And whatever you do, don't go to /b/, trust me, you won't be normal anymore. Not saying you are normal now, but you know what I mean.

Yes people still use it. It is a solid OS. And Windows 7 has been out long enough that it is getting near stable enough to switch over to so I will be migrating soon.
I hate that about the time Micro**** finally gets an OS working then they come out with a new one. Why not wait until the **** works right before releasing it?
Finally got around to playing with Rainmeter. Steep learning curve but fun to play with.

Hey all,
I've an old Nokia 5130 express music phone, almost new condition.
But it went faulty due to simultaneous failure of some 2 or 3 ICs. The cost involved was too much, so it's kept unused since a long time.
Any ideas how out can be put to use, any ideas are welcome for example- Converting it into a webcam(is possible, with links)
Or
Screen used for some display of pics.
Please link to procedure too, if possible.
Keep your thoughts pouring
Nokias are indestructible right? Use it as a sledgehammer! That'll break that cinder block in your back yard!

I use my old Nokia 5310 as an alarm clock since Android can't have an alarm go off when the phone is off....

Now I am no dev, but as far as I got the porting thing right, you have to have kinda simmilar hardware to port from that phone to yours and only then your port will boot on your phone...if I got that right: what will happen when you just change the CPU of your phoneblock? Will your OS be able to boot again? Or do you have to do a full wipe, flash a new ROM and then you change the CPU in order to get the phone running with the new block of Cpu
If I didn't get that porting thing right, would be nice if someone explains it^^
