Hi.
I got a HTC Sensation XL and i would like the run WP7 on my device. I don't know if it's capable of run it but this it's a kind of a "challenge" to the xda community.
Not only are helping me, you are helping other people/users.
This phone can be the next HD2 but bigger and better.
If you think that the phone can run Windows Phone 7, then comment here or create a custom rom.
Thank you for the support!

I highly doubt this will ever happen, and if it does, I can't see it happening for a long time.
Check out the HTC Titan if you haven't already. It's very similar to the XL and is running WP7.
Hope that helped

I want to try without buying a WP7 phone.
However, this may be the "new HD2"
See this comparison:
According with GSMARENA:
Nokia Lumia 800 vs HTC Sensation XL Hardware
Nokia:
3,7 display; 480x800
16GB intrenal memory
512MB of RAM
MSM8255 Chipset
1,4 Single Core CPU
Adreno 205 GPU
HTC:
4,7 display; 480x800
16GB internal memory
768MB of RAM
MSM8255 Chipset
1,5 Single Core CPu
Adreno 205 GPU
The "new" HD2 allready excist as HTC Titan.
The XL is Titan with Android...
Get Titan...

Just to make it very hard to achieve? Buy a cheap WM7 phone maybe, to see if you like?
If you wanted wp7 , you should have just got the titan.
It is exactly the same specs as xl, but with wp7 os.

"If you wanted an android phone, why did you bought a HTC HD2?" Yeah right
I get your point, Titan and XL are similar in terms of hardware, the issue here is that XL is not a flagship phone and the dev community is (and will be) too small for such endeavor.
I would loose my hope if I were you.
I think its because HTC sensation XL runs android which is an open source while WP7 is not. If you have Windows phone like HD2, you can run android and any open source OS cause there will be no copyright infringement.
any news about it,or the release date
no date mate as far as I know... I think even htc don't know when they are going to release it haha I asked them by email last week and the answer was ''should be coming this month'' but as we know for htc ''this month'' means end of the month if not next month or next year really fed up of waiting and checking for this update which is going to be not a big deal anyway.We will only get sense 3.6 and some graphical changes.....everybody who had the normal sensation and sensation xe was so exited to get it and after the update so many people said that they are disappointed....anyway it will be coming soon I hope
Even the Sony and SGS 2 are getting it now.....really i think that will be my last HTC.....empty promises, bad new flagman's ....

It is absotutely true, it has updated to ICS. The terminal is a company-free one. I don't need to lie. Check out the file.
Can you upload the update then please? There are a handful of devs waiting to get hold of it

No one said you was lying mate. All i said was i doubt HTC could squeeze ICS and sence 3.6 into 196mb when gingerbread and Sence 3.5 is 450mb+
don't know how did you get the update mate.I just had a email from htc and they told me that ICS is going to start rolling on the end of april and they roll it on batches so is going to take a bit of time untill everyone get it
Can't be true, I am on some spanish forums and nobody has it. Do a print screen or video of the phone menus.

This does not disprove updates are rolling out as we speak. Rather, it speaks of different times & rates of distribution. Tigre72 could actually be right ...
For those that are suffering a lack of faith...

it seems not asian because of 2.29.401 not 2.28.709.1
but how can we know that it is SXL?
If he posts the kernel version we would know for sure
This is a request for Port of ubuntu touch on my one x+ international
Inviato dal mio HTC One X+
After buying the HTC One, my HTC One X+ is relaxing inside a draw. Would love to make use of it by installing the latest Ubuntu touch. So I hope someone ports it to the International version and keeps it updated
Thanks
Double bump!
I'd also like to see this developed. Currently there is a contact person named "~Lloir" for this development, but it appears he is not active in making this. I'd post the link to the development site but I'm new and not allowed
Indeed, a port to the HOX+ International would be very nice.
Very sad to post this guys, but turns out the device will not be getting lollipop due to not providing an "Optimal Experience"
https://twitter.com/htc/status/592823289204047872
We will be getting 4.4.4 though which still sucks as it will take them another 3-4 months to develop it.
This sucks .. Ironic that my last device s4 mini that I sold over a year ago is getting lollipop while my new device isn't..
Well i don't trust htc .. sometimes they said something and it's totally wrong.. remember on their website they said that the One mini 2 will get Eye Experience ... And look now .. no Eye experience on our device..
So let's see
Disappointing and no M9 Mini on the horizon.... I might have to buy my first non-HTC phone.
Together with the disappointing release of the M9, this might have been the last HTC phone I've bought for a long time. I felt they had something with the M7, but since then no significant progress has been made and announcements like these certainly pushes me over the edge.
It could be 1gb ram is not enough ..
I noticed the HTC sense home update made my phone lag a lot so I uninstalled it seems much better now.
I think my next phone won't be a HTC maybe a Samsung .Samsung generally have better cams than HTC I think
Moto G is same cpu and ram and runs android 5.1 very well.
So either Sense put too much of an overhead or HTC just didn't sell enough HTC One Mini 2 to make it worth worrying about. It seemed to have been a popular phone in the UK but in US its only on one network.
Few custom roms for it either .....

Cheers for that, was wondering what was causing phone to freeze & it seems uninstalling sense home update has cured it

Guys i run my stock rom with no lag at all .
I've made one stuff to get this kind of flying..
I will build a rom hybrid if i can get some htc apps work on cm12 rom.
I think we can get a rom close to sense 7.0 on lollipop.
I'll try that and i'll open a thread for the project .. if any dev who owned the one mini 2 can join me on this project
Stay tuned
Ps : to get more free ram to run sense with no lag i will make thread for you guys
My mini don't lag at all I'm running ur ROM will . but I've debloated all the useless apps that HTC like to put on the phone kids mode google + etc I even run the old version of google apps that let's u save maps and keep for longer than a month but as soon as I updated sense home it caused lag so I uninstalled it ..
hey guys ..
someone can make a petition on twitter or via mail to htc for release Lollipop with sense 6.0 on the HTC One mini 2 ..
i cannot believe that they pull out some device and they just left their users ...
Maybe there's still hope...
If someone can talk to them.. ask them for the lollipop .anyone who got a twitter account, send them this message about lollipop for mini 2.

I have... But they have the same sh***y PR reply stating that there won't be an "optimal performance" in Lollipop
Old tricks from HTC. The same was with Desire HD and One Sv and few more phones. Thats why i change the brand. I still like the HTC phones but not gonna buy me again. I was with HTC since the original Desire was out.
Same for me. I realy like the HTC Device looking. But the One M8 was too big for me, so i decided to take the mini 2. And now i get the same answere as i got for my old good Desire: No Update.
And they cannot tell me that Lolipop will not work on the mini2 It's simply the same hardware as the One M7 and there everything is working.
This was my last HTC and the last Android, too.
That's partially true, m7 has more ram and a different processor, but that's not an excuse in my opinion. The m7 is one year older than our mini 2... And 2nd, there has been no major update, we're still on 4.4.2, as when it was commercialized... Absurd
Just had this convo with HTC. Of course they used the same reply
