[Q] Flashing Windows 7 - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

I was wondering, just out of curiosity, whether is it possible to flash Windows 7 on our NEO V??
Its possible with some other phones, why not in our phone??
I hope someone does some work on it & we get Windows on our phone! :fingers-crossed:

Bro your idea is good.. no offense.. But after having an android phone why u want to go on Windows??

Wouldn't it be good if one could use windows on an android phone!?!
Also I asked because my friend using an HD2 flashed windows & it seemed cool!
So I wondered why don't we have windows?!

HTC HD2 is only one. You can flash any os ( no apple) on this model.

I have a phone with WP7 (Lumia 710),and imo,WP7 sucks. I don't know how WP 8 it is,but definitely Android (even 2.1 or 2.3) is many years ahead WP7.

I think it's possible, but windows 8 RT would be waaaaaaaay nicer (it also runs on HTC HD2), and it already has an official version for ARM processors.

Yeah I know it would be way better to have Win 8 but first lets hope for Win 7!! :angel:

Hello Mr face, hello Mr palm, how do you do.
Ok hd2 was a Windows phone that had android ported to it, because android is open source, anyone can modify the code.
Windows is a propriety closed software, only ms drones can access source.
Now if you can find a Windows phone that contains exactly the same hardware components then you may stand a chance, but there isn't, thats why you turn your back to the wind when you pee.

WM7 Rom on Neo ?

Hi All,
Is it possible that install windows 7 rom on neo ?
Very improbable.....:
Wm7 is proprietary closed software, even if you found one for similar hardware you wouldn't have the exact drivers, they would have to be written from scratch, which lets face it phones are obsolete within a year or two so can't really see anyone reverse engineering....
And before anyone mentions hd2 that was a windows phone that has android ported to it a completely different kettle of cats.

WP7 on Xperia Neo is a waste of good hardware,because,excepting UI,WP 7 is much weaker platform than Android.Trust me,i've worked 1 week with a Lumia 710,and it was horrible.If you want WP7 UI,you can install Launcher 7 from Market,MILocker with WP7 theme,zune player,wp7 contacts,messaging 7 and wp7 email,and you'll have a complete wp7 ui,with Android OS. This is how my phone looks like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264324&page=26

Its ok, i just want clarify my question. I know we are on the better platform and i love it,
Thanks to all !!!
I wanted to know if we can port Windows 7.5 OS or symbian.
I know and I agree android is the net and that is why I am use Xperia Neo
Btw, symbian wasn't bad. I used more than 6 symbian phone
I also have iPhone 3G but I gave it to my sister cuz ios is really pain in the neck.

Totally agree with this... android is Open Source and hence can be worked on and ported to some devices.

I don't think so!
Thnks for the launcher 7 idea, i would try it if it feels the same. but i believe it wont have the same push mail service as wm7.
I don't understand...
Why?

Because android is open source it can be ported to other devices... However wp7, iOS, symbian are not open source so they cannot be ported.

i dont know why we r having this topic in 1st place
Pretty improbable to happen. WM7 is not open source, so you would need to spend a lot of time (and probably money too...)
And just to remember that it is very difficult to a different system, such as the WP7 android on a device, fully functional, stable ... you will have many problems with incompatible ...

[Q] Is a One X ROM applicable ?

Hi,
as hardware are really similar, you guys think it is allowed to install a HTC One X rom on the XS ?
Cheers
Not similar at all so no.
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
LOLing at the OP.
The OneX is a QUAD CORE and the XS is a dual core just for starters. All the hardware is completely different. Had a few joints before you came on XDA did you?
And what !
PC have many different hardware configs, but all can run i.e. Windows

If you want sense UI go to dev section there is a rom with sense UI I think.

Yes, but it seems it is not maintained anymore
Anyway, thanks for your answer.
i am going to try to port an htc sense rom (4.0) to the P
an port to the s would be possible after that
Good news, keep us informed

You should write Nokia, Windows, Apple and Google to have a collaboration with quad -boot mode it would be a killer combination. hehehe
For tablet it can be accepted man you looking multiple-booting option on such tiny devices.
Android has the most functionality you can expect. at times Symbian is the most functional among all now time has changed see current market share of NOKIA.......
Android devices are in reach of all pockets.

What's the actual point of having another linux distribution on your phone? Shouldn't it be the same (I'm not talking about few additional features that might be somewhat useful)?

Is like why some ppl prefer Linux Mint or Ubuntu or even Debian if all come from the same way? It's just matter of tastes.
What do I need to do to boot this bad boy on my jewel?
(Will you be copying all the questions and answers and adding them to the first post? )
Will dev devices be available? Will steam be officially supported for mobile?
What I'm curious about is will this support ext3/ext4 filesystems? Support for links?
Also, will there be a repo? Ability to install the gcc toolchain?
I'm curious on how unlock security. Like having a password to unlock or something like that. What would it look like on this OS? Another question I have is what are the keyboard's features?

no you can not install ubuntu on htc desire
the minimum requirements are
1ghz dual core cpu
1gb ram
wvga screen
Can we install it which devices we want, like Ubuntu for PC? Or must developers customize it for all devices like Android?
What is Ubuntu for Phones' minimum system requirements?
And there will be a new release every 6 months like Ubuntu for PC?

Will it support (in the future) the Android app ecosystem?
I really hope so because people like me already purchased a lot of app and I need them (and won't buy them again).
What do you think?
Is this Q&A just aimed at the community or will it have some "official" answers ? If so what mobile networks will be used in the UK on release ?
Dual booting a possibility on the Nexus ?
Secure market for purchasing apps /devices?
Apart from the Nexus , What other devices are you hoping to introduce this year for us to play with ?
How easy/hard will it be to port ROMS to another other device ?
What will you offer us ( apart from a new OS to play with) that's going to steal market share from Android ?
What plans do you have for future updates to the OS ,will it become as fragmented as Android ? Will you push carriers to update ROMs or will it be down to XDA to do this :laugh:
Will you make it easy for us to do our thing or will you lock the devices down (not that it will stop XDA lol)
If any of you are interested in getting Canonicals attention for us, the XDA Family being able to beta for them, here is a petition I started at change.org! It won't hurt to sign it guys, might as well try!

Anyone into porting a mobile linux platform?

Hi,
For the past few months I've been looking into linux, I have an android device, linux 2001 Dell Latitude, etc. Now I've seen meego os. It's free, meego.com I think, anyway, is there a chance someone will port to the Xperia u,sola and go? I've read forums about it and it being dead, if it is, anyone thinking about porting sailfish os to android? Thanks.

Why would one waste time to port a dead platform mate?
Sailfish it's not dead. And NovaThor SoC are officially supported (almost snowball).
Give it a look:
http://igloocommunity.org/news/2012/11/sailfish-os-and-snowball/
So I can just install sailfish? Or is there any obstructions towards this procedure?
