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:

Nope There is none.
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

I really love Windows Mobile OS but my uncle gave me a Milestone for my birthday! I wonder that could anyone have an idea to set up Windows Mobile OS on my Milestone. I think this is a best combination! Maybe I'm so silly but I'm still hoping.
Waiting for news!!!
This would be nearly impossible if not impossible because of the locked bootloader no custom kernel can be loaded to run windows mobile

The nearest approach for windows is "Android windows 7" from android market.
You can use skin which look just like winmo 7 home screen.It's somewhere here.Search forums...

Thanks for all your helps and advice ! Maybe I will use the Windows 7 skin but I still hoping for a complete setup of Win mobile on my device . As you known, many device which use Windows mobile can use Android as the second OS, so why's the device that use Android can't use Windows mobile? The hardware configuration of Milestone is good enough to run Windows mobile 6.5 or maybe above (like Win 7). Why don't Motorola give an unlock bootloader on this device? It will a big problem for many modders in the world
PS: Sorry if my English is so bad.

I have a solution. You should sell the MS for somebody. According to you buy new smartphone that it is supported by WM. Recommending HTC HD 2 or 7
Android is open source so it can be ported to other devices.
WM/WP7 is not open source and can't be ported to other devices that shipped with a different OS i.e. Android. Even if you could it would be illegal to so do.
Android is so much better than WM/WP7 that you must be on some good w&&d if you think otherwise =P Learn to love Android and flash the good ROMs that people have made for Milestone, or sell your phone to someone who can appreciate it and get something that fits you "needs" better.
FYI a bit of searching on XDA would have answered this question without wasting time.
Hello
Anybody tell me how can i install android operating system on my HTC HD7. Please give me the process.
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...

hahahahahahaha key word: clone.
you got ripped off buddy. does it run wp7 any any chance?
id like to see pics!
Got this idea tonight , I was thinking about this and im sure that this as been done before , is there anyways to install windows phone on an android device such as Samsung Galaxy s. Also are there some restrictions that could make this not able to do so.
If someone knows any thread or tuts this would be apreciated.
Thanks guys
windows

Because windows isn't open source, like android, I think that it impossible to port it to other devices.

Not impossible, it's been ported to HD2. And other phones I believe but i know for sure Windows 7 was not meant to be on HD2
I hate windows phone os
I don't think he was asking or opinions of the OS. I think he was inquiring to see if it was possible. I to would like to try this to see or myself and not take others word for it. I will search for a solution and update this thread with what I find.
Edit: It seems that it is not possible currently. However, there are developers that are working on a solution to that problem The main problem is the hardware that was not intended for Windows that is equipped to run Android OS. Hopefully there is spark at some point. There is a lot of talk though that Microsoft is trying to bully their way into having smartphone manufacturers load thee OS and allowing the consumer to be ale to dual boot. That article can be see over at many tech blogs including Znet.
Till now, there is not any known method to do this. Android OS is the best OS in the world. Almost every application is available for android. Also it is most customisable. I would recommend you to stay with Android and install WP launchers to get windows phone like stuff/looks
It is interesting which ideas we`ve got :good:
In my opinion:
Microsoft is something for my PC @home, and Android have to run on my device ...
One of my friends have one nokia with WP7 ,looks nice and works good ,he says - but for me nothing gets about Android , but it is only my opinion :angel:
To ask the thread:
I have never heard of any way to flash WP 7/8 on Android devices ...
Only device that got WP7 and did not run it natively were the Toshiba TG01 and the legendary HD2
So sorry, not happening as it's closed source
if its possible on hd2 its possible on devices using same hardware as of windows phone trying to develop a boot loader which helps wp7 bot on our android , any who one can help us with it ???

´cause lagdroid is only for geeks who got a lot of free time
it is always nice to running multiple OS on one phone,i think we need new bootloader same exactly like cotulla has done for HD2,this sounds good to start request to cotulla,i heard he was working for MAGLDR bootloader in HTC M7,let us see
I just write all my own apps for my WP... Android OS is a little clumsy and I think it's ugly... let me know if anyone finds out how to do this... I'd buy a galaxy in a minute if it weren't for the crappy OS.

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.
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.
