Why would you want windows 8 on an android? Just buy a windows phone

More options to choose from maybe?

I prefer to port a Sense4+ to our device than WP8 LOL. If you want WP together with Android, you need an HTC HD2. FuXXing large variety of ROMs.

I completely disagree. We have all the specs needed. All that remains is a willing dev. Nothing is impossible. Also, Launcher 8 is nowhere close.

At this point in time I believe all devs for this phone are devoting their time towards cm/pac/pa or sense 4.0+... But hey, if you want to learn how to dev

Exactly why i agreed to.it being.impossible...plus the fact that windows os is supppsdly picky on the devices it runs on
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2

You would have kernel issues (different kernels, WP7 uses the Windows CE kernel, WP8 uses the NT kernel), hardware incompatibilities, security to deal with, and you'd be locked out of Microsoft services, among other issues. It's much more complicated than dealing with Android ROM ports, even with HTC's shoddy kernel work.

This really does not belong in the development section and as others have mentioned getting a windows based rom to run on a android phone would be almost impossible as a matter fact of all the phone forums I moderate I don't believe I've ever seen a windows rom for an android phone.
Thread closed since I don't see this as being a very productive thread.

Sprint will offer an exclusive unlimited plan for iphone 5

Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Don't know why this surprises anyone.
Sprint has to offer something different to stay relevant.
Lost
I thought the Iphone 5 got lost and that caused delays in things?
Oh great. You can bet our data will either be limited later or worse off than it is now in terms of speed (and it's already horrible) when this stupid POS is released.
Don't all of Sprint's smartphones come with unlimited data plans? Nothing really new here except the phone.
Hopefully their network upgrades are in place soon enough to help pick up the slack...

Yeah, my understanding is they are going to be launching 8 markets by the end of the year with Network Vision.
But obviously the whole network is going to take until 2013 or so.

Is this like the the Inspire?

I had the inspire. Now the vivid. Would flashing an inspire rom work?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
It is not the same thing. I would stick with the custom roms in the vivid development thread.
It could work with some tweaks but only if you know what you are doing.

Nope. Each phone is different. In time we will get to where the inspire is at. People are working on cm9 once that gets to beta there will be working cm7. In a month or 2 we will have a leaked ICS build from Bell or one of the other telecoms and people can start working on android 4.0 with Sense 3.5 or 4 whatever the use.

Each phone may run the Android OS, but the way the software interacts with the hardware is based on the hardware itself. It is possible, but unless you are a veteran dev I'd be careful. The phones are very different.
Sent from my HTC... 'nuff said.
Yeah, even though they are both HTC, they are two different phones with two different chipsets. So, a rom thats been developed for an inspire will not just install on to a vivid. It would have to be ported over. Kinda the same way that a rom for a Samsung Galaxy S will not work on a Galaxy S II, or a rom for a Galaxy S II will not work on a Galaxy S II Skyrocket.

ICS OTA velocity

Installed last night man what a difference.
I came from desire HD, where the dev is huge, to the velocity. Running black ice cm7 based.

Oops wrong button.
I am not a fan of HTC sense and the stock look and lack of options of the shipped rom.
I guess where I am going is the battery seems to last longer with Ics and the speed of the phone is better. Running adw the draw is still laggy.
Why do phone companies make phones with heavy bloated roms and call it the fastest phone. Just give us the option to turn it all off.
Does anyone have any gossip on cm9. Considering how far is was taken on the dhd can't wait.
Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using XDA Premium App
Are all the users getting ICS upgrades or is it like Skyrocket, where limited users got the upgrade
Not to sure. My missus and I have only been on for 6 or so days and we both got it. Seems like everyone. I woonder about the unbranded phones.

Well best of luck to you then. Not sure why your going to an iphone if you "need something to mod bigtime" though. Is there that much you can do to mod an iphone? Maybe I'm just uninformed. Also, sorry, I can hijacked your thread didn't I...
Sorry i wasnt very clear as i was driving lol. But the things that i like to do most with my phones im unable to do on this droid 4. One of my older phones was the htc hd2 and ran the core cell rom which was badass. Being that d4 will never see an unlocked bootloader means that modding will be minimum. I may be misunderstanding so please correct me if im wrong.
Sent from my DROID4 using xda premium
And hijacked? No not at all. Im trying to gather as much info as possible about what my future options may be with this phone if i were to keep it. I love everything about it. Iphone has an app via cydia called udidfaker that allows certain game players to run multiple accounts from one device. Android is unable as far as i know

Don't drive and text, man.
There isn't actually that much that can be done with an iphone. Basically you have custom themes, jailbroken apps and free apps(if you're into that kind of thing) not much else.
As a motorcyclist, seriously, don't do it. I don't care if you wind up with an iPhone or a Droid4, but I don't want to wind up on your hood.
Honestly speaking i dont text and drive. I do service work and will usually wait till my next stop to even read them much less type and drive. I was just being silly. And i too ride. So everyone plz chill.

On another note. I found a trader for my droid for their iphone 4. The iphone 4 is a 3g phone and requires a micro sim. I believe my droid also uses a micro sim so can i use my 4g micro sim in the iphone 4 which is 3g?

Yup, but don't expect for the iPhone to work on Verizon, since they don't have a 3G GSM network.

What do i need to do to get it to work. Verizon sells iphone 4 and 4s models and it says it will run on their 3g network.

I'm pretty sure you'd need a Verizon version of the phone. Those ones have the cdma radio you're looking for.

It is a verizon iphone. My question is if i can use my micro sim from my droid in the iphone 4 since it also uses micro sim. Only diff is droid sim is 4g and iphones are 3g phones. Do i have to get a new sim?
Sent from my DROID4 using xda premium
The MicroSim on the Droid is a LTE SIMcard. The SIM Slot on the iphone is only for use abroad. The iphone does not have 4G LTE capabilities. You might want to consider a new support forum to get all your questions answered on your iphone. Android power users don't like to deal with dumbphones.

Distracted driving isn't something to be silly about, it's a very serious problem in today's culture.
Did u not see where i said i dont text and drive? That i make plenty of stops in a day to not have to read or respond to my texts immediately?
Read a bit closer next time before feeling the need to open your mouth and comment on something that you dont know is true or not. I said i was being silly by saying i was a master texter. Then also said that i dont text and drive and explained why. Get with it bud!

It's an html5 linux based os...it uses a lot of things from aosp for its core but its something completely different...all its apps are written in html5 -I guess you could say its an internet browser os lol
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
Might want to wait
Samsung is also developing their own OS that I have downloaded the source and emulator looks pretty good so far
Basically they are wanting to move from using local resources to web resources which in turn would be bad for consumers who do not have an unlimited plan with their desired mobile network provider
Could get pretty costly
