And the good news is they already get approval from Samsung to keep on with their project and they're gonna release the beta SOON!!!!!
By the way, improve and check your language and make sure everything you post over here are affirmed before you post'em.
Windows Phone 7 will not ever work on this device. Why? Simple, the kernel, if you will, for this device is Windows CE 5. Windows Phone 7 requires WinCE 7. Which means all hardware must be ported to WinCE 7 for it to work. And Microsoft isn;t going to do that.
The ONLY device which MIGHT get WP7 is the HD2. And I say MIGHT, since it's a tedious task to get it running with the current knowledge on XDA.
On another note: Android is actually a pretty good replacement for Windows Mobile 6.5. I've switched too and I have to say it is alot "fresher" and "finger friendlier".
Just my two cents.
I want to ask is what you said is Windows mobile 7 or Windows phone 7?
Windows Mobile 7 doesn't exsist.

would it be technically possible to run the zune interface for everything that is music/media on windows mobile?
Hmm, I guess just like a skin or a separate application... Tho both are made by M$
Well.. they both run on CE5 unless im mistaken.. So, might be able to do it somehow.
wisbar desktop?
what the OP is asking about is if its possible to port the zune OS over to a windows mobile application. i am nowhere near dev status but i could be possible assuming that the zune OS is based on win CE like windows mobile but i'm not sure how hard it would really be though.
i would love to see this too honestly but i think that something like this would have to come directly from microsoft since a project like that is probably of a questionable legal status.

Seriously?? We need a ROM dump like... NOW. How would that happen?
I think a ROM dump would hardly work on any device...Maybe its kind of locked too. I think the best thing would be to take S2P source code and start a new project "WM_Zune" or so.
Otherwise, if A_C wont release the sourcecode, there would be enough talented people here to to a proper Zune-like app.

Martin
Well if "Zune" is just a program running on WinMob5, than if we got our hands on it, what would stop xda from cabbing it up like so many other "locked" devices?
http://www.zuneboards.com/microsoft-news/the-pink-and-purple-project.html
sounds like something fresh and new.. like zune is cool too.. not onli the ipod.. being a wm user we should support this idea..
Hi, see if this is any use to you while you wait for the actual application to be ported:

Here is another article about Zune porting to WinMo6.1 and other mobile device:

I hope it doesn't slow the device down to a crawl. WMP bogs down my Mogul.
Is that possible to run WM in an iPhone.
Or run Android in a PPC?
I mean directly flash the ROM into iPhone or PPC.
Not like "running android on Kaiser"
Could anyone do this kind of "transplan"?
We should have a sub forum discuss about it, that make WM, and PPC more fun with it.
People are trying to make andriod to work in emulators on top of windows mobile first because they want it to be stable.
When everything is working stable, developers could look into flashing a andriod rom with andriod bootloader onto a device.
For now it is more important to get everything to work properly.
and about the iPhone.. we still dont know wether its fake or not.. its just a rurmor.. the developer promised it to be released by jan.. till then wait for jan..
i think WM on iphone is fake.............
there are very rare chances of that happenning.......
WM on iphone
there is WM on iphone, Norwegian developer did it,
http://5x5m.com/lp/277/windowsmobile.html
is it going to be freeware???????
i would seriously think about getting an i phone then........
Why would somebody want to have WM on a device which can't be used with stylus?
At the start, I knew that there was something fishy about it. Look at the phone, the bootloader is too "friendly" to be a beta.

"Okay, looks like we (I, the bloggers, the Internet, the Windows Mobile users) were "too excited" (?) by running Windows Mobile on iPhone hardware. As it turned out (thanks for the comments and E-Mails), the video and the whole story above is a hoax and part of a viral marketing campaign from Sonic Emotion, a maker of surround-sound systems for PCs, handhelds and other things that need surround sound." - Source
There is already Android on PPC. I have it installed on my phone.

yes, but it doesnt work very well
I think everybody should now, that there is a "working" androit for windows mobile based devices...
I'm definitely going to try it once its bootable as a seperate OS.
I'm sure the peeps at XDA are going to be successful in porting it on to ppc aswell, so I'm just patiently waiting.

There is already android on msm 7200 Chipsets like the Kaiser or Vouge
And it's not an Emulator and run on the ROM.
But you must load the Bootloader "HaRET" on Windows, and after that, Windows mobile is quitted
also, windows mobile is working on iphone wich lags realy
Say WM is flashed onto iPhone somehow. But as Parg said it can't be controlled by stylus. And there is no Dpad, then some application can not be used with that hardware.
Indeed, it makes much more sense to get a Diamond instead of trying to flash WM on iPhone.
Additional to the hardware troubles (stylus, unsupported multitouch, ...), there would be license troubles. Guess you don't want to pay MS for WM on iPhone, even if that was possible, right?
Android, or at least a compatible system, should be possible for every device (at least in theory). However, if I buyed a device including a WM license, I'd prefer a good emulator (or rather VM, similar to the J2ME VMs which allow to use Opera Mini). That way, both WM and Android programs would run fine. OK, bad chance to modifiy the main system interface (start menu + Today screen), but I like the plugin concept of the Today screen anyway...

iphone? whats that? wasnt it a fad fashion accessory from last year that claimed to be a tech revolution in, well, in, I dont know? lets see, its not a smart phone, not a PPC, not a Symbian, its more a feature phone containing a proprietary operating system with very limited 3rd party support apps and interface.
Why would such a great device want WM running on it? oh yeah I know, it sux and its boring UI would eventually drive you nuts for lack of customization and limitation of available "decent" apps! hahahahhahhahha It'll never run M2D or some of the other awesome skinnable applications or any Linux OS etc, Its just WacOSX and doesnt even provide onboard bluetooth with A2DP holly crap even my 5 year old piece of junk Symbian supports A2DP, in a few months WM devices will be released with Bluetooth v2.1 (700kbps) and soon version 3 speeds up to 480Mbps. carried away sorry

Dpad is not essential for PPC,
usually, apps can direct operate by touching the screen.
the only problem is games, a lot of games have to use dpad as controller.

iphone hardware is not a big problem,
as long as iphone is one device, no matter how many people are study on it, it is one device.
Android on PPC is a problem, there are so many different PPC, which one should we study on?
License is not necessary, Hacking, of course, is not legally with license.
I am no linux expert but it seems that could possibly run on most HTC devices with some kernal patching??
I think the new OS looks better than Windows Mobile and is certainly better than touchflo 3d.
I am calling on the information of all the cooks,developers and hackers on this forum to answer this, do you think it would be possible to create a ROM that boots out HTC devices into this new Android OS and therefor rid us of microsofts limited WM6/6.1 OS ??
I am all for trying if you are!
Me too. I had expected to see more questions about android. I'm setting up a linux box to see what we can do with the source! Hope to see some progress here!
I think you should follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396782&page=124
The people out there are working on a working Android on the Kaiser. When finished, the Android system can easily ported to some other HTC devices (I think).
I think that Google Android is working better than Windows Mobile with TouchFlo (2d & 3d), so I hope that they finish the job soon
Why not !
I'm own Win CE 6 SDK and VS 2005. I start developing custom OS builds. It's going fine, I can build custom image, here is example.
It is compiled for ARM so architecture is compatibile with WM Devices. It generate ROM image which can be moded with existing tools. At this stage I want to develop good, stable image, and then start stage 2 - Combining WM drivers from WM device (They are back compatible) with Win CE 6 image.
We will see if this will end it any way, I will informe you about progress...
The first and two last screenshots show IV distribution which is "universal" and total commander runing fine
The second screenshots are from first, profiled version, but they show fine some win ce features...
At this moment I must update distribution to r2
If you saw, or not... Win Ce is runing fine on Nokia N800, the video was also posted here: http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/27/vmware-mvp-weds-windows-ce-and-android-in-unholy-matrimony-on-du/
Edit: If anyone is interested what components and features can be included in build, I created screenshots which show them:
http://rapidshare.com/files/204557405/features.rar.html
Edit 2: Currently updating to R2 for maximum quality of release.
looks good, i think, whats the implications of this exactly?
wm6/6.5 is built on winCE 5, right?
WM 6, 6.1, 6.5 = CE 5
WM 7 = CE 6
Generaly CE 6 is faster. mor stable than 5, there is also more drivers, I test pocket total commander and it works fine, win ce 6 also use cab installers but they arent the same as for wm, they need litle modyfications to run on ce
sounds good
man, i wish you all the best.
(topic notification ON, pernamently!)
looking forward to this!
Good Luck!!! will keep an eye on this thread..
This is really good for those GPS programs that only CE car units can do. This would be amazing step towards running full gps sw with all options on a ppc windows mobile way to go..
I wish you a luck... fingers crossed.
I own only PB5.0...
Good Luck Dude..Hope u comeup wid a Revolution..
Will you produce a kitchen for all devices presented here, or (and) others as well?.. And how do you think, could the drivers porting process be a hell?
wow definitely subscribing to this thread!
but are you using a derivative of the meizu firmware based on wince 6? Wouldn't that be easier than making something from scratch? Is it possible to port that to our devices? This is an excellent morning treat =)
As I say before, porting drivers is not requried, becouse drivers work on kernel level so there is no somethink like WM drivers, there are onlu Win CE drivers, But drivers from Win CE 5.2 (on which are based all WM devices) are compatibile with CE 6. I'm curently working on stable distribution for Win CE 6, then i will merge WM emulator image with CE image and will see if it will work, if yes I will go to hardware test - my candidate is my ipaq 214 becouse it is perfect for Win CE due to strong hardware, and there is not many drivers to repleace becous this ipaq doesnt have camera, gsm, gps... If this all will go fine I will publish distribution and instructions how to do this...
not bad
so it will still take some time before it is seen on a touch pro which isn't bad
in fact I have no knowledge of this truthfully ><
I am very happy you are doing this
but as far cosmetic design how does this differ from wince 5.2?

in case of Kernel it is like XP to Vista kernel, in case of UI there is not big difference from 5.2 to 6
but then with this would it be possible to integrate at least cosmetic theme like uhm this one

No the API's are most the same, there are eaven the same DirectX and DirectShow, as default Net cf 2.0 can be included
I was actually thinking about something like this about a month or two ago.... i watched the vs studio videos on it and it just started looking like it was a little above my level for the amount of time i had Good luck on the project!
To those of you worried about cosmetics...
Right now we have the control to customize about 50 to 60 percent of the ui. With a custom build of wince, everything is 100% customizable (because we have access to the source code.)
I like customizability but I have no clue on where to begin ><
that would be the sucky part...but if it is touted to be better and faster than win ce 5.0 it would be something I am willing to try
Dear,
As the title itself states..
My mobile is:-
Mobile: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0
OS: Android 2.2 Froyo
I had an HTC TyTN 2 once; I flashed it using a Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM from this website few years back. It worked quite cool..
To be honest I just love the Windows Mobile interface and the way it operates.. I mean it really looks like one is using a "WINDOWS" mobile.
I just love the way it looked..
Now as time passed. I switched to a latest phone which is operated by Android rather than Windows Mobile.
Now my question is that I know it is impossible to delete my Android 2.2 and Install Windows Mobile 6.0; But is it somehow possible to install Windows Mobile alongside with my Android 2.2 working the way it is working.. You know multi booting like if someone have installed Windows 7 and Windows XP on their computer.. They can launch the one they wish... or sometimes using some software they can launch the Windows XP while Windows 7 is running.
It is possible to get something similar to my device???
Thank you
Faisal.
You can always buy a HD2 off ebay since it was the last phone with Windows mobile and is still in development since it can run Android, WP7 or linux and recently Cotulla showed off his one running WP8 and windows RT

Any chance to give better hardware (better than HTC HD2) to Windows Mobile 6.5? Maybe something like NativeSD WM6?
There`s so much valuable old WM software still in use.

He has a Galaxy Tab, not a phone. He should just get an Acer W500 or an HP Slate which both run full Windows.
