Hi,
I think it is impossible but I wanted to ask for sure!
For example we can port Android to a Windows Phone device, now the question is: Can we port Windows Phone 8 to an Android Device?
I want to port it to Galaxy Grand I9082 and I think it maybe impossible, but please answer my question!
Nope, its not possible
1. Windows Phone 8 is closed source
2. Since its closed source there won't be drivers for android phones
Sorry it just can't be done right now

Wait, what?
This is not possible for Windows Phone 8 as far as I know. Android does not have a driver for the UEFI firmware, not to mention it doesn't comply to the security checks for secure boot, which means it doesn't qualify as a trusted OS for any device with WP8 pre-installed. And as far as I know the secure boot feature cant be disabled without physical tampering to the chip.
But you're welcome to prove me wrong with a link or thread, which says otherwise.
no.. isn't possible get android to WP8 device... and way get worse to perfect device
Please search before asking a question such as this. This same question has been asked multiple times with the SAME exact answer. Not trying to be an ass, but these threads are being flooded with duplicate questions of this same origin

am a software engineer so help me out i will help you guys very soon just tell me its basics

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...

Ativ 3 ? link to that phone please.
I would go for Donut , and when you hacked the "bios !!! " you are almost there.
so your steps to do:
hack IPL bootloader.
hack sbl1.
hack sbl2.
hack sbl3.
hack UEFI.
make drivers for the whole OS.
build a rom.
boot android.
have fun and please post here again when you have it booted

Unfortunately at this time, installing another OS on the phones other than what is already there. I'm a little confused with the ATIV 3 device. If you're speaking about the ATIV Tab 3 and not the ATIV S Windows Phone, then this is the wrong forum location.
If you can reply back with some clarification, I'll be glad to help.
Yes, im sorry i cannot quote i m on my phone, but as you said is the ativ tab 3
here you can see it
This one comes with w8 preinstalled but i ... hate ... windows 8. And i wanted an alternative to this software on a tablet that has a really good hardware and a lot of memory and hdd to spare, iknow that dual booting is possible but apparently only with androidx86, thank you for your answers
OK, that's a moderately-cool looking product, but there's a reason we hadn't heard about it here:
This is the Windows Phone 8 forum. That is not a phone!
The general Win8 forum is over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-8-rt/general

Hi Everyone
Just read on several sites how the latest model for Verison will Dual boot into Windows 8.1 and Android.
Is there a way to add this to the existing / original Android M8
Where did you read that?
Theres no way they would release a verison with 2 operating systems especially when android has been widly available for the device. Theres currently no version of a bootloader that has the right environment for windows adding an android boot to there bootloader "to try and even get back to android" Unfortunetly android is open sourse and windows is not, they would have to release there sourcecode to the developing world if they wanted to dual boot with android and they wont. so its up to us to exctract it on our end to make android 's boot loader able to dual boot into windows and hopefully find a way to get back.

it's not the source code which Needs to be released...it's the bootloader which Needs to be extracted and opened to get it working on the android Version! and that's difficult unless someone like cotulla will work on it!
Agreed im just saying we wouldnt need to extract it if they just handed it to us to work with and i hope cotulla does!

From http://www.anandtech.com/show/8390/htc-announces-the-htc-one-m8-for-windows
For some users the most exciting prospect of the HTC One (M8) for Windows may come from the fact that it shares the same hardware as the One (M8). It's possible that the developer community will be able to load the firmware from the HTC One (M8) onto the device in a dual boot configuration with Windows Phone 8 so users can switch between the operating systems as they please.

This is one of those, "Well it might be possible to if developers can figure it out" quotes. As the others have posted, there will be no absolute easy way to do this and a lot of the pains will be on the bootloader side. If someone DOES happen to figure it out, I don't see it happening for a LONG time (This also counts as hope for someone to prove me wrong ). We can only be hopeful that HTC failed to lock down something they should have done.
The HD2 was like the holy grail and I don't see that same sort of configuration happening again.
Htc has in m8 wp8.1 version something like s-off for android devices...in one m8 wp8.1 forum there is a thread where a guy is writing about the whole thing why it won't be that easy to mod the OS etc
I'm a daily "hourly" reader of engadget and they have posted about the version with windows but Verison is not releasing a dual boot version it is up to us to make that happen! Read alittle more carfully before making assumptions. Its possible "maybe" but its allot of work as snickler said its saying whats possible not whats out. Also im with One-M8-Master on this one, check out the thread it should clear a few things up on the boot loader side. lets all hope someone gets lucky and does it!

In another thread, this has been released. here
I moved this thread back to One Q&A since the moderating team decided that's where it belongs, but I'm closing it since we now have a single discussion thread for porting Windows Phone 8 to the current m8s. Please continue the discussion there.
Thanks,

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.
I found some old thread about installing APK files on a Windows Phone 8/10 (let's say Lumia 640).
It seems that it was possible to do so, but isn't anymore unless you install a specific verson.
Did I get that right? What's the current status of runnung Android or iOS Apps e.g. a game like HayDay on Windows?
I found this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...apk-installed-unsupported-devices-sd-t3175843
This was found by a Google "last month" search:
https://tunesgo.wondershare.com/windows-phone/run-android-apps-on-windows-phone.html
Is this still valid or is it outdated?
This is all way outdated, Microsoft has already said they wont be adding the android subsystem.
Ah ok. I thought it might still be possible to get an older version on the phone where this still is enabled.
But obviously not.
No. Microsoft removed the Simple android subsystem kernal. Its not possible now
