enough with the pros and cons lets just do it and see what happens.

does anyone have the rom that was ported to hd2 or a clean copy of the latest release of wp7. it shouldnt be too tricky to get it on cdma and i believe the hardware in the evo will be sufficient to run the platform. if anyone can get the schematics for the evo including hardware layout i can do it. the only thing im kinda stuck up on is should this be the only operating system available for the phone or try and do a dual os "like iphone4 and android at the same time" let me know what anyone thinks and lets turn dreams/nightmares into realty.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Personally, I believe the biggest problem will be porting whatever gsm wp7 roms to cdma....

Think about this. Clearwire released the open source WiMax framework over 2 months ago...but do we have 4g on cm6.1 or whatever its on now? Nope.

My best bet is to wait until we see wp7 on the sprint side of the pond. Until then it'll just be as someone else said "a dream or a nightmare".
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
well, the rom is out for htc pro 7... does this mean we will be porting it to evo soon?
[EVO 4G General] Ruki_Uki:
Even better, now that the wp7 Arrive comes out tomorrow, does this mean some kind of cdma port can be done??

[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
we gotta keep the motivation and momentum up for a WP7 port!!

completely forgot about the possibilities of using a cdma rom to port or work with the evo.

pleeeeasssseeeee i hope someone is working on this.

i dont even know if i like wp7, i just want it.
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
im surprised the port has not been done yet considering the cdma rom has been leaked for a week now
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
WP7's UI is nice, much better than Android's. Ask any designer worth asking and they'll tell you the same. Again, all opinions but one that I'm sure would lean mostly towards WP7.
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
the UI is very very smooth, but its very limited in funtionality compared to android

but count me in for the wp7 to evo port, id love to use it for a while
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
99% of smarthone users don't care about changing the UI only we the 1% do.
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
very true, but anyone who surfs these forums is not the average user! I personally loved Wm despite its quirks. I think WP7 rocks, I would just get bored very fast with it
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
Like I have said before in the other thread about this, using WP7 on the EVO is not going to happen on XDA. WP7 requires a license from Microsoft and since the EVO doesn't have this license, installing it on the EVO would be considered WAREZ. Even if somebody would get it working, I highly doubt that XDA would let is slide. And for the people that are going to say: "Well, they did it for previous phones and there are ROMS with WP7 on XDA". These ROMS are for phones that already have Windows installed on them and have the license.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Yes... but they don't have a license for the new version. That's like hacking adobe 5 to work on your computer and calling it legal because you own version 4.
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
yeah we all know of the licensing issues, but it will happen...if XDA shuts it down, there will be tons of other places whos rules arent as strict. Trust that
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
that doesn't make sense at all, they ported wp7 on hd2 without hd2 having a wp7 license. dunno if xda did it, but it was done on a wm6.5 device
[EVO 4G General] flopez76:
I think Microsoft allows it on the HD2 because it is a Windows Mobile phone and they're making money from it regardless.
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
i don't think MS will stop the port. they need to get the word out
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
nobody EVER ported wp7 to any device. all those videos were proved fake.
[EVO 4G General] itster2:

fake? i don't think so
[EVO 4G General] Ruki_Uki:
If we can crack the licence in a Windows 7 torrent and it passes a genuine check, I'm sure cracking and passing the WP7 license can be done

I honestly think the Evo has the developers capable of porting WP7, you just have you get then interested in doing so.

i tried a wp7 it was too boring. i tried an iphone and it was too overrated. i tried an android and it was just right!
[EVO 4G General] ewynn9:
Amen, same for me.
[EVO 4G General] BonkyMoon:
I like how the big "coming soon!!!" feature in WinMo7 right now is apparently copy/paste. It's mind boggling how you can release a modern smartphone OS and not include something as simple and basic as copy/paste. I know that the initial release isn't going to have all the awesome bells & whistles in it, but we're talking the basics of basics here.

Don't get me wrong, the phone looks decent, and WinMo7 is leaps and bounds beyond 6 or 6.5. I actually think that the UI is actually sorta neat, since I was a fan of it when it was on the Zune HD. It's mainly just the copy/paste thing that gets me.
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
tens of million of iphones sold before copy and paste was put on the ios.. people don't care, that's why.

xda is 1% of the smartphone community, you really think this site can sway sales? not even close.

plus this OS was made in less than a year, so it has limitations. android took 3+ years to make and my evo has issues with caller id and some texts go to the wrong person.. You would think in this day and age with sexting and so forth they would have fixed these issues after 2 years, but noooooooooooo. they just keep pumping out new releases with the same problems..
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
how is it boring? i'm sure when you had win mo you were downloading every 3d plugin on this site to make it cool and smooth like..... wp7

sorry but android is a copy of ios and they are a copy of the old palm OS with couple of tweaks. nothing new same boring icon layout from 1995. wp7 is new, fresh looking and innovative.

wp7 has the highest ratings numbers out of any smartphone and in time (like winCE, xbox, office...) they will dominate again.
[EVO 4G General] flopez76:
Before this turns into a flame war, everybody has their own tastes and likes. Some may find WP7 boring because it's a closed OS, and others may think it's the best thing around. When it all comes down to it, it's just peoples likes that matters.

Personally I'd love to see WP7 come to the Evo just for the Zune player.
[EVO 4G General] TechniShawn:
And Netflix! Too bad we don't have dual boot. I would use Android for 99% of everything and then boot into WP7 to watch Netflix.
[EVO 4G General] Ruki_Uki:
I hope you don't have an EVO via your a disgrace. WP7 suck, xbox sucks, ill sick with my EVO and PS3.

[EVO 4G General] vspike915:
I'll try anything once ;)

But in all seriousness, I'd like to be able to just TRY it once. Mom is looking at the WP7 for Sprint (I lost track of the name) partly because of the iPhone-like experience. I'd be curious to see how it runs on the EVO but ALOT would be unavailable, but I'm sure we all know that
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
i'm not sure but i think the hardware is very similar if not the same as hd2 and they have everything working the last i heard.. ofcourse being upstaters we get to enjoy 4g on the evo, but that wouldnt be the case for wp7 at this time.

how is 4g in your neck of the woods? seems to be pretty good and getting better in liverpool, ny.
[EVO 4G General] vspike915:
Well it doesn't currently exist here in Buffalo. Work HQ has it in Rochester so I get to enjoy it there, but I sacrifice alot of battery when I have it on.
[EVO 4G General] foghorn67:
Honestly, Android needs a shot in the arm for it's smartphone side of the OS. Tablets have been getting all the loving thanks to Honeycomb.

But Gingerbread is a sign that Android has a long ways to go as far as maturity.

Too many weird bugs. Too many things that should have been ironed out.

-BT voice commands are abysmal compared to almost any other BT device that has been out several years.

"Call John Hartford".

"Calling Sarah Jessica Parker" Argh!!!!!

-Native hardware graphics acceleration. Missing.

-Blurry pictures in Caller ID. Despite any picture resolution.

-Mangled texting. DL'ing an app to substitute is not an excuse for it.

-Try throwing some apps on an SD card. Then pull up a list of apps by either Android or any app. Wait. Wait. Wait. Why does it take so long to generate a list of apps?

Throw those apps back into phone. Problem gone.

-Look at all the open tickets on Google. Some have been open for years. No sign of life.

-WP7 and iOS are friggin smooth and for the most part, free of annoyances. And stuff that is missing has been addressed or will soon be added.

Don't get me wrong, I love Android. But it has a long ways to go. It's sad that it needs to catch up on some fundamental issues even when compared to an OS that is only months old.

[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Yea I have to agree they need to stick to the basics before they can up their game. Well that is what they should do, not what they are doing.

I think the fact that there are so many Apps on the market that take care of a lot of those problems you posted, it just lets Google ignore them
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
yea some people has different taste, but the majority of people in this forum are just plain closed-minded and bias and are sometimes fanboys...it's like they're trapped in their own little "evo or android world" I've been with sprint for 11 years now and have always had to have the latest and greatest started with a samsung black flip phone with no color(forgot the name of it) then moved on to the first color phone ever made which had an attachable camera making it the first camera phone and then to the samsung a900, then to a touch pro, and now to an evo. If a better phone or os comes along I'm willing to give it a shot and not be like OOOO MY evo android is the best thing since sliced bread mentality...I see why america is so slow with everything...they hate change and a lot of people are just closed-minded to new and better things..
[EVO 4G General] lyrical1278:
As much as I love Android, I often find it lacking myself. I wouldn't mind giving WP& a try for at least a week. Just so I can form an overall opinion of it. I tire of people dismissing WP7 who have never tried it but still have WM6 in the back of their minds.

You have to be able to move beyond certain things to keep up with tech.
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
By the way some people reacted when i suggested wp7 on evo, you would think they developed android.

whatever os you like, you should always hope the competition is great. that only makes everyone else better.

this is an opportunity for the smartphone community to tell google and apple "hey, you've been giving us new hardware but the same old buggy OS on them". Afterall, didn't we tell MS that when we started buying iOS and Android based devices?

Use the power of the people! :)
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
Its like steppingon on glass when talking about other phones here or another OS its quite funny to watch how immature people are and how dedicated people get to a Phone...
[EVO 4G General] Fadakar:
I agree with a good lot of you guys, I love Android. To death, bought me a Hero the day it came out and I waited in line for my Evo, and I'm a jobless 18 year old. I put all my birthday/christmas/Persian new year money just for these phones.

I've realized after a year and some that this OS, while progressive, hasn't really gotten anywhere. Speed improvements to get it a quarter as fast as it's competitors, a few UI refinements, pretty much nothing to write home about. All they're doing is playing catch up. To be fair, neither has iOS, you lay down the framework and expect developers to carry it for you, with a few engineers internally upgrading the OS very little at a time.

If there's anything I've learned to absolutely hate about Android, it's the inconsistencies, low-res apps, jumbled UIs (seriously, how many apps besides Twitter, Evernote and Facebook actually look like they belong to the same OS?), having to use trial-and-error a billion kernels just to find one that'll make our phones run have as smooth as a WP7 or iPhone, it's almost not worth it anymore.

CTIA better bring more WP7 devices for Sprint, because after this Evo anything lacking at least 4 inches of screen estate is not worth downgrading to.
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
that's why we need to get wp7 ported to evo :)
[EVO 4G General] flopez76:
So are any developers interested in this at all?
[EVO 4G General] thabet22:
Dear Pro developers, as you may know the HD2 has been able to run Wp7 now.

Since sprint is releasing a CDMA WP7 phone, it will be eisier to port. I am putting together a team to make this possible

So far our only memebers are

We will expand in the meair future but this is only a thread to brainstorm ideas.

i was in t-mobile the other day and was looking at an HD7, damn nice phone. i was asking the rep about it and his response was "you don't want that phone". i was like why not? he said well it's not android and then proceeded to push the mytouch 4g or samsung 4g on me. now im a android fan like any other but im also a phone enthusiast, so i found his comments sorta uneducated and idiotic to say the least. this is one reason wp7 is not selling well, the reps are uneducated and only push droids. my next phone will be that lg 3d phone or maybe even the hd7 once they crack it and allow for custom roms or themes.

im all for trying to get a working port of wp7 on the evo, even if it's just to play with. ill also donate to the first dev who gets a working port.
[EVO 4G General] flopez76:
^ I've also seen this happen too! Sometimes it seems like the people working at the stores are the biggest fan boys of all, well at least the workers at the stores near me.

I think once the Arrive (7 Pro) gets released we'll see more progress if any on porting WP7 over to the Evo. Mainly because WP7 isn't even supporting CDMA until the NoDo update.
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
actually the final release of wp7 cdma rom is already in the wild

I think a lot of people that want it, just want to be able to say "hey my Evo can run WP7" not to actually use as an every day OS.

Personally, I think if a project like this is ever started, the mods won't let it be discussed here. Since the EVO is not licensed for WP7 it would technically be considered warez, similar to the way they treat discussion of Swype on non-licensed devices.
[EVO 4G General] Ruki_Uki:
Exactly

Sent from MYN EVOlutionary cellular....uh....mini tablet?
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Then technically its wares on the hd2 too. It isn't licensed for it either.
[EVO 4G General] abrigham:
True it's not licensed for WP7 specifically, but the HD2 is at least licensed for Windows Mobile 6.5 (a.k.a. Windows Phone) so that probably falls into the gray area that other WM phones fell into, allowing us to have WM6/6.1 devices running WM6.5 even tho no official update was ever released. Then again, I don't know if they changed the licensing structure/language for WP7 to eliminate that gray area or not :P

OTHO, the EVO is not licensed for any version of WM or WP so I would think it would be pretty much black and white from the site admins' perspective.

I don't want to turn this into a discussion of what should or shouldn't be considered warez and end up getting the thread closed, I was just going based on my understanding of the site rules and what has been stated in other threads on this topic.
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
so that means if i have vista and decided to install a downloaded version of windows 7 and upgraded vista to windows 7, i'm good?

i think not.

ps: i would wipe android right off my evo if i can get wp7 on it... wouldn't even look back
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
exactly... its just as much wares on the hd2 as it would be the evo. It is not a grey area.
[EVO 4G General] sleekgreek:
I'm not so sure i wouldnt want it for a daily driver. I was more than happy with winmo on my old palms. Android is nice, but I prefer webos still. Apps and hardware brought me to android, other than that webos kills it. So yeah, I would be more than happy to try windows out on my evo, throw streaming netflix in the mix like winmo has, and I may drive it for awhile. Any of you that just dismiss it as a viable os without ever using it, are plain silly.
[EVO 4G General] HearMeWhisper:
I actually had an HD2 before I just got this Evo 4G. I had WP7 dual booting with Android running off the SD. Id say since they are both made by HTC, it's possible. I would think that someone would have to make a custom bootloader like they had to do with the HD2.
[EVO 4G General] Evo4eva:
Windows phones are crap. They may be able to build a good pc os, but they are still lacking considerably in the mobile os department. Windows mobile is probably the worst interface I have ever used. Yes I have played with older and newer windows phones. They just don't make sense. Honestly I would have much more fun playing snake on an old school Nokia.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Webos is also crap. I don't see how anybody could possible like webos none the less say they like it better than android. Everybody has their own preference I guess, even though they don't make sense to me sometimes.
[EVO 4G General] The Impaler:
If it were to happen, it would be illegal due to the fact that WP7 is closed source. and I don't think the mods would like that. It's a wonder why they tolerate it on the HD2...
[EVO 4G General] yes_senpai:
You would think Microsoft would sell the licence for it like they do for their PC branch. If they want Windows Phone 7 to start getting market share...they need to take the move they did with Windows (the real Windows) and sell licenses and make it bootable on all modern hardware like Arm Processors and what not.

Troll much? You're entitled to your opinion, but I think most of the people posting in here are looking for an alternative to Android on their Evo. I know I would put either WP7 or WebOS on this phone right now if it were possible. I have NOTHING favorable to say about Android and I definitely don't stand alone. So any chance a dev is interested in turning the Evo4G into a beast like the HD2?

p.s. I own the HD2 with WP7 on it. I just hate t-mo service and would prefer to enjoy Sprint.

Hello,

After installing the OCLF my phone is now in an endless boot.

I am unable to go into recovery mode, but download mode still works.

I have tried reflashing my device with "re-partition" and "efs clear" on,

Unfortunately I am still getting the endless boot :(

I have a galaxy-s i9000M with the current i9000 jpk rom.

I have used this rom for a long time, so I am confident that the OCLF had an error and semi-bricked the device

Does anyone have a solution??

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arianR10:
i am having the exact same problem. i noticed that using the UGJH2 PDA can stop the endless booting, meaning that it actually takes you to the "S" logo. However, after the "S" logo the screen goes completely black, but you can still see the Back and Menu buttons lighting up.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But your internal SD card has failed. Your only option at this point is to send the phone in for repairs. I do suggest flashing back to stock UGJH2 prior to doing so though.

The UGJH2 PDA had the modem and csc built into it. You also have a failed internal SD card. Bell/Samsung repair/replacement is your only option at this point.
