[Q] Porting Windows Mobile 6.5 to Windows Phone 7 handsets - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
Do you think it will be soon possible to avec a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for latests handsets runing Windows Phone 7, like HTC HD7 for instance ?
Or was it already done ?
The interest is for some corporate applications running exclusively on old 5.x / 6.x phones that will be soon unavailable on the market anymore...
Or is there already clearly hardware limitations detected ? HD2 and HD7 seem very close on a hardware characteristics...

I don't think it will work as even though the hardware is similar, it will take quite a while to port it and I don't think any of the devs want Win 6.5 on a Win 7 device.

windows mobile 7

does anydoby knows if the windows 7 will be conpatible with the opal?..i don't really know much about it but i would like to know if the delelopers can make it compatible to put it o a opal device
I'm just guessing but it probably won't be compatible right out of the box. If anything it will be like WM 6.5 and have to be cooked by the chefs here at XDA to work.
Windows Phone 7 need dualtouchscreen! Sooo.....
Wait until we are lucky!
We are still trying to port android on our devices which is not much of a success....and WM 7 hasnt released yet,so we cant predict what's in store for us because presently,we are still trying to get a perfect 6.5 on opal,which is being made possible by finest chefs on board the forum...so we just have to wait and wait...nothing else..
1 GHZ processor is a must fr Win 7 mobile...

windows mobile 7

hi i'm a new user, i have an htc rose with wm6.1 i'd like to know if someone can cook a windows mobile 7 rom. i have also an another question : the 6.5 rom is stable? are there many differences to the 6.1 one? thanks for help
as I know wm7 is only for touch screen
Indeed it is. Windows Phone 7 will NEVER come to WM smartphone devices, IE those without touchscreens.

[Q] Android on WM7 phones???

Has anyone heard if, or tried for that matter to run, android on WP7 phones? I am fairly new to windows phones, but heard that they all could run android. Now that I am thinking about this, I have only seen it run on HTC devices. I am thinking of getting the focus tomorrow OR getting a telstra HD2, on which I know android works.
Why not just buy a new phone that already comes with Android? The DesireHD or something like that?
I want a phone with both, You know that 2 birds one stone thingy
Ah right
HTC HD2 is probably such a phone to support 2 versions of Windows OS as well as Android.
Windows phone 7 devices cannot run android yet, Windows mobile quite a few devices will have android ports.
Focus is windows phone 7, HD2 is Windows mobile 6.5
(there is a huge difference between windows phone and windows mobile)

[Q] Windows Mobile on Omnia 7

Well...
Call me crazy but is there a way to flash a working WM 6.5 on to a Omnia 7 ?
The Hardware is great but i hate WP7...
Any Ideas ?
Highly unlikely to happen. they have to crack the bootloader first .. htc devices will get more support than samsung.. more devs focus on htcs
I would love to see some of the older windows mobile apps come to life in WP7. Surely it can't be too hard?
Maybe HTC HD2 could be a good solution? It has WM 6.5, Android can be installed or WP7 - there's so many opportunities.

[Q] Flashing Windows 8 to HTC HD2

I'm running Windows 7 on HTC HD2 and saw the Build conference from Microsoft they're allowing you to download Windows 8 has anyone investigated flashing this to a mobile device? If so can you tell me how to do it?

i highly doubt it. im no techy but the first problem that would occur, if you ask me would be the small nand .. not enough space for win 8, and running it from the sd card .. well .. ionno
It's been done on the Htc Shift here's the link. Thus far only device.

My friend, Windows 7 or Winphone 7? Please re-check. Thanks.
To be honest would have thought it would be obvious that it's windows phone 7 rather than the full OS
Get the diffrence man HTC Shift is like a laptop and HD2 is like a smartphone
