Hello all! I jump from phone to phone when ever I can catch a broken one to fix for nearly free. I recently ran into an HTC HD 7 and am not really vibing to the windows mobile 7, and from what I read there is not currently a pre made rom available for installing android on this device. I am pretty technologically advanced and feel confident given the right direction on how to accomplish this I would be capable of creating one. I have read a lot of information but am some what lost mainly because of some of the lingo terminology, being that I haven't hacked/developed outside of the ios platform. I can program in just about any c based language. Any one got ne thing that can help me out here? If I build one how would I install it or go about uploading it to the device? Thanks in advance for any replies I do greatly appreciate all your time! I apologize about the noobness like I said ios is whats been available to me for the past few years, and now I want android like a kid wants candy!!!

Developers/programmers have been trying to figure out how to dual boot the HD7 (like the HD2) since it came out. The main problem seems to be how WP7 is compiled .NET and C#. WP7 securitys still aren't fully unlocked.
Take a look at the Project Haret thread, they seem to be making some progress at it and if you have the know how, maybe you can contribute.

Thanks for the heads up, appreciate the reply, btw where is the thanks button? sorry this is my second post here. I started to do some research into it. I believe the answer is in the coredll.dll file which may be stating the obvious. I think the way to go about accessing this or at least what I am going to try is an attempt to gain root access with my device tethered to my comp from terminal.

Your welcome! I've read through the whole Project Haret thread and there is alot of information, (some way to complicated for me) trial and error and it looks like as of recent there has been some good progress towards getting Haret to perform and (hopefully) run kernel mode and actually boot the kernel. You might be right, give it a shot or maybe put it on the thread and see what kind of feed back you get on it!
Is your device unlocked yet so that you can gain access to it and try it out?
Personally I would love to see the HD7 dual boot WP7 and Android. Don't get me wrong... I thoroughly enjoy WP7 and love my HD7it's very smooth, fast, stable and not once has it crashed on me. I believe that it would bring a longer life experience to the device and make it that much more versatile, especially since we're nearing the end of official support.
The thanks button should be there now, under the posts.

Ok so I realize I might sound like an idiot considering everything I said can be found within the haret documentation. I originally read something found on google with inaccurate information after you told me about the project, come to find out the information I read was in no way affiliated with the the actual project haha. Forgive my stupidy, I began to read and follow along the documaton for it at htc-linux.org, the only thing I am having issue with is obtaining haretconsole to explore the device. The link on the documentation I believe no longer exists, and I can't find a source anywhere! This is pretty good stuff though thanks for linking me up with it! Have you installed the development tools or haretconsole on a linux OS by chance? I was successful with the developement tools, just need to figure out this haretconsole problem. BTW which desktop OS do you prefer?
Sadly I can't tell if my device is unlocked yet haha. I work at a university doing LAN Administration currently and used my .edu e-mail to register as a developer. I then registered my device but don't see a single difference or maybe I just am doing something wrong. How do you suggest going about that(unlocking it that is, I don't care about it being official, just figured official would be easlier)? Also for the iPhone there is a desktop application which allows you to access the filesystem called iFunBox, is there anything similar for the wp7?
I would just love android lol, I like the HTC HD7 and have always been a fan of HTC products, It definately is pretty smooth and compared to my previous device a 3gs it's lightening fast! 3g isn't supported with the 3gs on t-mobile either. My biggest issue with wp7 is the fact it doesn't do anything I want to be done in a device, I use my mobile browser ALOT and I have never seen a browser period with this many bugs, I installed safari but it's not even the same lol! For the most part I strongly strongly dislike anything related to microsoft, but unfortunately I have to work with the windows platform quite often because of my job. There just such a dirty/shady/grimmy company period, I saw a commercial yesterday advertising bing where they claimed 2 out of three people choose bing over google in a blind study............how can they advertise that when they stole googles code! lol. Also it was a pretty dirty business move of microsoft to do what your talking about with the wp8. They claim there going to continue support on 7 but we both know they all say that and do put the effort towards the legacy system for a short period of time before cutting it. Screwing Nokia out of major growth potential within the U.S. while going back on the promise made to them regarding free upgrades to 8 for 7 devices. I think they feel like there invincible just because they currently run the desktop OS market share. I think their will likely be a major change in the preferred OS within the next 10 years, just because I work in an 30,000 user enterprise that refuses to upgrade their liscensing with microsoft because of windows 8's inability to meet our needs.
Sorry if this message way to long haha

Sorry its taken me so long to get back with you... Been crazy busy!
Unfortunetly I only have Windows OS, PC and Laptop. Funny enough though, I just got my laptop back from the shop a couple weeks ago and I had to have the harddrive replaced. Last week my PC got the BSOD (blue screen of death) and I had to completly wipe and restore it.
My next computer will be a Linux OS forsure. I wish I had one currently to install Haret and play around with it!
The student registration is limited and you can only sideload a max of 3 unasigned apps. You would be better off to fully unlock your device and install a custom rom, this will give you more options to sideload as many unasighned apps as you want in the form of XAP's through IE. Access to the registry/file system and to apply hack and tweaks. you can then familurize yourself with the OS and file system.
I can help walk you through the unlock process, it's pretty easy.
Go to settings, about, more info. post back all the information from that screen. Enter your device into bootloader mode - Power device off, hold down the volume down button and power the device back on, while continuing to hold down the volume down button, this will bring you into BL mode a tri-colored screen. Post back the information from that screen also.We can go from there. The proccess to unlock it basicially is to downgrade the SPL to 3.xxx or lower to install RSPL/HSPL wich will allow flashing of a custom rom.
My IE works excellent. It might be due to what build version that your device is running on. Either way once we get it unlocked there's custom roms running on Tango 8779 build with nice features and the device runs buttery smooth. there's also more mobile browsers available to install once it's unlocked, Opera Mobile,UC browser and a bunch more. There's all kinds of XAP's you can install to cusromize the device and enhance the user experience.
Totaly agree with you on the Android development for WP7 and the above statement regarding MS

android

Hi all.
I'm a tech worker in a public education facility, I have been assigned a work phone and there is no way I keep it on Google Android.
But I'm not experienced with Lineage OS so I may have a lot of questions coming soon.
Also, I wanted to post in another thread (about my work phone) and it asked me to login, and when I tried to login I got an error message.
NoScript blocks (as it should) all scripts except those from xda-developers.com, and uMatrix blocks (as it should) all redirections.
Is there something that I should authorize so as to be able to login ?

Welcome to XDA
Have a good read on the forum rules
Enjoy your stay
Hi guys, I'm here on XDA for about 4 years and never got a time to do this (introduce myself).
So, I'm a software engineer, work with Flutter for mobile, web and desktop apps (on Linux and Fuchsia).
I'm also givin my 5 cents on dahliaOS. Currently I'm learning Rust lang and looks awesome.
oh! sure. If you guys don't know dahliaOS, it's a OS based on Zircon Kernel from Fuchsia (Google's new operating system), it's on Github and theres a lot of great things there, including pangolin_desktop its DE. (I think BlissOS is doing some stuff on pangolin too).
So, I hope by now ****ribute more and be active here on XDA again.
See ya!

Always glad to read interesting stuff from Devs!
Like this dahliaOS, sure will read more about it.
This site has thought-out, since started in a warehouse in Amsterdam, for people to share and absorb knowledge in the area we are passionate here at XDA!.
Respect man.
I just joined your group, I am mostly into hardware hacking, atm.
repairing phones ect.
I got my first laptop the other day, just something cheap to mess about on, I some how have managed to get most of windows10 os off it, and installed parrot os,instead, so far so good I am learning Linux,and python now. I am here to find out about phone rooting, and customising.
Hello Hi to AOSP if you can read XDA rules, please
Hi guys and gals.
I'm here to learn how to hack my new Xiaomi Pad 5. The MIUI is awful and sometimes overrides my defaults. Although the hardware is good. I don't trust neither Xiaomi nor Google.
I'm rather a newbie to Android (before my iPhones I had Nexus 5). Recently coming from Apple devices. I decided to switch system because Apple did me wrong and I was a good customer. I don't want to emphasize here but Apples behaviour is rather disturbing.
At the moment my base is Switzerland. I'm native Italian and German speaking and I know some other languages. I'm rather old you'll say but my mind is young.
So far i learned that I've to install ADB on the Mac. Than TWRP on Pad 5. I like to research.
The greeting message in this board was appealing and gave me a good feeling. I'll look around here.
I want to install Magisk. It seems rather interesting.
Have a wonderful day y'all.
Best.

Hello ethical_haquer
Thank You very much for Your kind words. I appreciate it very much.
It's the first time I'm in such a forum.
Honestly when I saw the MIUI and it's behaviour I was concerned about the privacy issues and I "panicked" a bit. I knew that Google spies on us and I was prepared. But these people from Xiaomi are even worse it seems. They make me troubles with the VPN and the private DNS. Fortunately Browsec has the feature of always on.
In order to get developer USB access and backup the device in my old MBP I needed to register with Xiaomi and you know what they gave me an id starting with triple 6. Rather weird
Here is summertime I have a lot to do and enjoy the summer biking Probably I'll start in Autumn with this project
As I found out the device could be bricked "messing" around with rooting and ROM's. I need to research more to be more sure to take the risk.
I'll surf here and see if there's a "save" way or do You know a safer way? I know only taxes and death are for sure but I would appreciate Your opinion very much in order to understand and evaluate even better.
Have a nice day.

It sure is!
What are you planning to try out on your phone? Don't be to worried about bricking it, although not uncommon it's mostly do to people not understanding what they're doing. If you just want to root it I would flash Magisk. Although honestly I wouldn't bother with rooting it before you install a custom ROM. Which will remove lots of the crap-ware and spy-ware that's built in. A custom ROM will run faster too. Once again, feel free to ask any questions!

Briefly I want to get rid of MIUI and Google. Weird things happened lately.
So far many say LineageOS and Magisk, others blah.
Than appstore. Aurora or FD. I've some apps I would like to keep.
It's a tablet Xiaomi pad 5.
Than the question security..
It's really not easy to find out the best
