WinMo OS on Android

so everyone worked on porting android onto win mo and soon there will be a flashable rom
But I would love to take advantage of a 1ghz processor and seeing how sprint wont get the HD2 anytime soon. my only hopes is to have the EVO and put the windows OS on it

+1,000,000 though I think copyright issues will prevent this.

Re: WinMo OS on Android

This topic comes up often, but I'm afraid it will never happen, just like porting iPhone OS to other devices. The reason we can port Android is the fact that it is open source and there's no copyright infringement. You can see that microsoft is actually headed in the opposite direction with winpho7 (closing off so many things, can't change the UI, can't do this or that) so I'm pretty sure they will crush anyone who tries it.

Plus the fact that winmo 6.5 is on probably on the way out so by the time the porting project was done it would be obsolete.

yeah first thing i thought would stop this from happening. I have been playing with Ubuntu 10.4, 25mins after uploading on site i had it on my comp. Not win mo but change is coming. You can run it but Its painfull to look at

Sadly I do not have the knowledge required at the moment but Id ask anyone who is up to making a Ubuntu rom to please do Lets get that thread going

Re: WinMo OS on Android

+1 on this too. I have a touch pro, that basically needs a digitizer. My options are to tear it apart to fix it, or "upgrade" to touch pro 2, omnia II, or the incredible.

Touch pro 2 has slow processor and NO FLASH??

Omnia 2 has no keyboard, though looks nice.

And the incredible has ANDROID. BLAGH!!!

The one phone with the guts needed to run windows mobile properly, and there's no hope or even rumors in sight of verizon getting anything like it.

I really would love to see one windows mobile 6.5 phone running on a 1ghz snapdragon. Android might not look so good if you could put them back to back on equal hardware.

I've played with a nexus one and an HD2 and while winmo does run a lot sexier on a 4.3" 1ghz snap, pound for pound I think the Nexus outperforms.

I do think it's sad that they abandoned making anymore winmo phones till 7 comes out with that ugly metro UI, I'd like to see some more 6.x phones with snapdragons too.

Do you mean windows OS as windows mobile or full windows?

windows mobile would be illegal to do...as for windows you can do as long as you got a license...there is a sub par port of win95 for example.
