Hey xda!
So with the HTC One M8 Windows Phone version, do you think it is possible to get the os ported to the HTC One M7?

No way. WP is closed source and differs A LOT. Hell, Ubuntu touch barely works on this

First this has been discussed and tried a million times already, and failed.
2nd, thank god for that :highfive:, Windows Phone Sucks
In my opinion, there are enough rubbish windows phones about, HTC should stick to whats best, and that's Android and GPE.

Would it be possible to have Android on this phone since its basically the same phone as the hd2
I assume you mean as a duel boot? As i see a lot of people asking to put android on it yet they could just buy the htc desire hd an almost identical phone that is designed to work with android. tbh i would love to see some sort of emulator for a couple of the apps but i am so so glad to be rid of android i loved it but it felt like an early 90's computer all basic with no flair.
I think it would be possible but it will be glitchy and a long time off my advise would be if you want android to buy an android device they have a lot to choose from.

its more advanced then the HD2 and has less touch buttons
however its a bit of a silly question IMHO. If you want android get the Desire HD.
Why put a round peg in a square hole ?
I actually think it's a great question.
Why would people want it? because it gives you CHOICE!
It would be great if you could dual boot with Android and WM7 so you get the best of both worlds: taking advantage of Android whilst also using WM7 while it matures. I'd absolutely love to have a device with android and WM7.
Wish I was a developer, I'd work on that project straight away! I'd pay to have a dual-booting HD7 (or desire HD!) !
Bring it on dudes!
Wow please close this thread since there are so many options available for android these days and if anyone needs a android phone they should buy an android phone
I'm not sure I agree with the last poster. T-mobile has no android alternative to the HD7 that I am aware of.

really? for tmous or t-mobile europe? Cause there is the g2 and mytouch4g that just came out android...
To the OP, considering how the hd2 android is booted from the sd card and technically, there is no sd card on the wp7 (once it's inserted it becomes program memory), I don't think this is happening anytime in the future. Gotta agree, that dual booting for computers can be important to some people, but for phones, I just don't see it happening with the newer os's.
I'm a layman with no technical knowledge, just interested, so my comment was more on a visceral level than technical. To clarify, what I meant to say was that '...there is no android alternative ...... I am aware of'...' regarding the large screen format of the HD7. I bought a G2 but returned it because it was bulky, and I decided that I did not need the slide out keyboard. I really liked my first foray into the andriod world during my two weeks using the G2, and was hoping that I would be able to use the HD7 with android as well.
PS. I'm in Florida.

If he wants Android, tell him to go get an Android phone if it's within 14 days, otherwise, it'll be awhile before Android comes to the HD7.

[Q] [question] HD7 ANDROID?
Okay I was just wondering.. is the dev going to make a way to port android to hd7.. I have a hd2 and its been ported.. I love android but love HTC 4.3 screen hd7 and plan on buying it.. what is there to come for the hd7. Android, or no?

I agree. I don't get it. WinPho7 is amazing. If you want andriod, dont get a brand new phone that just came out with a new windows version. Sure andriod has its perks, but so does Windows. I've had Apple, Andriod and Windows, and I just dont get the point of changing something off the bat. Altho He is probably thinking that the HD7 is like the HD2, with WinPho6.5, which I personally did not like. But it did have its perks too, like multitasking. I don't think many realize how long and how much work it took to bring Andriod to the HD2. I'm not a developer myself, but I can only imagine!
hd7
Okay I find out there is a phone out that's come close to the hd7.. its called HTC desire HD.. its looks just like the hd7 but the only thing defferent is the cam. Which is a 8mp instead of 5mp and its a android phone.. its not windows..
Just get a desire HD if you want an android powered 4.3 inch screen

If you want an android phone.. Why are you buying a hd7??
The answer is maybe. If you want Android, get an Android phone. There is a high likelihood that someone will at least attempt to port Android to the HD7. Whether or not it will be anytime soon, if it will be stable/usable, or if it will actually happen at all remains to be seen. My advice is not to buy a phone on the hopes that Android will be ported to it.
Hello

ATM there isn't a way to do it.
Buy a AD phone, HD7 cannot run AD is yet.

android HTC HD7
My HTC HD7 has Android 2.2.3 installed. It was from lightinthebox.com and is a dual SIM Android phone.
Works okay, a bit slow at times and has started to crash a bit at the moment, I'd like to download a custom ROM, but the problem is that nobody has created one as yet.
Sorry to say but your phone isn't a HD7 its a Chinese knock off which runs android, the real HD7 can't run Android atm and comes with Windows Phone.

;] waow, it seems they only sell "look like real" branded phones, and not for peanuts...even if it remains that you own a interesant device (as long as it works...) it's definitely not an HTC HD7...
The HD7 can run Android as it's an exact clone of an HD7 but has Android installed, any phone can have any OS installed as long as it can reasonably run the software!
Yay!
Thanks for this!
@leopheard, how do you know HD7 can run androbeans? It hasn't been done yet...and I wonder how you know your "clone" is an exact copy of an HD7 ( you compared every single piece of hardware?)
I think you're just telling bull#%&$ and that thread should be closed...there's a sticky thread for HD7/Android...but it's not your concern as you don't own an HTC HD7...

Looks like the update to wp 7.8 will be out in about 6 weeks +.
i'm sure the very talented people on here will figure it out if it is possible.
Can't see why it wouldn't be possible as Microsoft tested wp8 on the hd7.. time will tell.
for now tho, i'd recommend this> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271118

is it confirmed that those two devices are getting WP7.8?
i only doubt WP7.8 coming to Schubert because the Schubert hasn't seen an official update since December.
i could be wrong, though, after all...
Microsoft hasn't announced full details on WP7.8, also, it would be a MS update, not an HTC update.
only time will tell.
Is there a good Windows 8.1 rom out there for the HTC one m7!? I think it would be soo cool. The biggest downside to Windows is how small the community is (the store) and that you can't get Google Apps. So a Windows 8.1 rom on am Android would be the best of both worlds! :good:

Windows 8.1 rom for HTC One M7
i have been looking religiously for anyone porting windows 8.1 w/ Cortana to the htc one m7 and hope someone does soon. it is possible! someone please just do it! pretty please!!
I honestly don't understand all the excitement caused by a **possible** port of WP8.1 to the M7. I had the chance to play with a WP8.1 phone and I was pretty disappointed by this OS on all levels.
I'm not saying its a bad OS but for power/advanced users, this OS is a joke.
you may wanna join the discussion over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/discussion-porting-wm8-to-android-htc-t2865785
edit: nevermind, that's actually for the m8, i think there's a similar one for the m7
Seems like converting the wp M8 to Android is done and prolly for Android to WP.. If this comes true and you can flash wp would you do it?
I think if it have LTE working for the Sprint M8 I would do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...on-porting-wm8-to-android-htc-t2865785/page18
I would definitely try it out.
I would at least try it since i have had so many HTC Touch Pro 2 windows phones in the past
My first Android phone was the Htc One M7
I have the M8 now

I never had a windows phone. But my friend's M8 with windows looks great.
No way. Android rules. Especially ViperROM.
I have a friend who wants to dual boot, but I think it's pretty useless. Either use one or the other.. he's just wasting space.

I don't think there be a way to dual boot due to bootloader stuff. But you can convert either one.
