window phone 8 for galaxy nexus - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is it possible to install window phone 8 to galaxy nexus? please advise. thanks,
Just want to try different OS in my device, don't want to waste money to buy wp8 yet.
But why HTC HD2 can install android and then can install wp 7 and even wp8? anyone have the answers? anyway, Thanks for comments.

I was going to make a smartass comment, but I couldn't think of anything. So no. You can't.

Lol

And i think it will never be possible since is closed source and no driver are available... but, why the heck put wp8 on the magnificent GNeX with JB 4.2.1? It's nonsense imho...

what crawled up your @$$ to come up with a question like that??? No offence...but that's exactly the way the questioned framed in my mind!

Instead of doing something not properly on its device and most likely you will found difficulties..I suggest you get a wp8 phone and have fun with it

Who gives a ****, poster 1 answered OP's question, that's the end of it.
And half of you know you'd install WP8 on your GalNex if you could, if only because you could, so don't give him the "what are you, retarded?" ****. I think he knows he can buy a phone with Windows on it.

nothing to see here, move along

Instead of posting stupid answers, isn't it better not to answer at all? The guy wanted to know if it was just possible. After all the HD2 did it well so whynot the GNex? The fist poster answered back and was quite precise (more or less, I don't know) but I think the following posts are useless.

Download launcher 8 from the play store. Closest thing I've found if you want something similar. With a little work you can actually make it look really similar to wp8. There's some nice mms and phone apps you can find as well with a little searching.

If it is possible he asked... I don't mind running wp8 on my gnex either. I use windows 8 and Linux on PC. Just want to play a lil bit.

I think he was being rude. But, so many people ask this question or similar. Its irritating when a simple search or look at the dead Sense 4 ports in the Dev section would've answered his question, without needing a useless thread. The finger goes both ways guys!

Sense 4 has a proprietary imaging chip. Ports will never be anything more than an interface.

The rezound has a sense 4 rom Your point?
Its completely possible to do, I lack the knowledge but from what I do know you basically have to remove the dependencies from the framework to make the camera app depend upon itself or make a framework app specifically for it and include it with it
Not that anyone wants to, the sense 4 camera isn't much better than ours. Its a little more visually appealing but that's it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The HTC V phone doesn't have one does it??? The chip meant specifically for the camera.
And I did search. And ports are either for sluggish in development because the Dec has a life or development is dead.
That is why I'm asking here. Because sometimes there is some one out there who has a working camera.
I have stuff other ppl don't have who are trying port apk that I extracted and got working.
This is why is asked.

Chrome OS on Gnexus

Hello guys I saw the "porting" of the O.S ChromeOS on Nexus 7, it will be possible to have it and try it on galaxy nexus?
Translated from Italian with Google Translate
I'm 100% sure it's possible. People have put Windows on this thing.
I also completely understand why someone might want it on a tablet. But on a phone?... Why? You'd lose the functionality of the, well, phone part of it. That seems like a slightly crippling side effect to me.
Anything is possible.
Windows on the gnex? even if that is true, what a waste.

How can i install ubuntu phone os on galaxy nexus ?
someones saying "it is not possible until late february" but engaget installed it on galaxy nexus last week...
How can i install it on my gnex?
Can't Wait until late february...
They probably had it to do a review or were given it. It's not out for the general population yet.
In other words, you can't.

i search, within Google, for "Ubuntu Galaxy Nexus Leak" every day. Of course within search timeframe of 24h. This you could do by yourself too,
If you're lucky, you will find something soon. If you're a number (like myself).....you indeed need to respect patience :silly:

http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/25/canonical-richard-collins-interview/
The article says that even Engadget could not get the Ubuntu Phone OS yet. Canonical declined to give them an early version. The article and video show that Canonical people were present during the hands-on test and the phone being used was Canonical's, not Engadget's.
End of February is when Canonical is releasing Ubuntu Phone OS to developers. Its unclear how they are going to release it though. Its possible that it wont just be a file to flash and there you have it. It may just be all the tools to develop for Ubuntu Phone OS and it will be up to the Galaxy Nexus developers to build and make it available for us. Who knows at this point. It could also be the very first version of Ubuntu Phone OS that you need to install through your computer like flashing an image with a toolkit. Lets not get ahead of ourselves.
So to the OP, it is not available yet and even though they say "end of February", that possibly means available for developers and not just anyone.

L900 WINDOWS 8 possible ROM?

I'm writing in today to see if there is possibly a windows 8 ROM for our Note2 L900 devices...?
Umm you realize windows 8 (non rtm) does not run arm processors without an insane amount of developing magic, miracle, and sweat. They would basiclly have to rewrite the windows 8 kernel. Next time please do a little research before asking a question like that. It truly borders a stupid question

First. Thanks for the semi techy answer.
Second. I'm not a developer, nor in any way remotely close to one, hence is why I asked on this site.
Last. There is no such thing as a stupid question if one does not know the answer.
Thanks for the reply though.

Sorry if i offended you in any way. I am not a developer either. I sense by the way your replied you have a true interest in the work that goes on for a phones. Its just that very often developers deal with people asking repetitive questions that tend to annoy them such as when this or that is available. That is why its always good to google first before asking on xda. Fortunately you did the right thing in putting this in question in the q and a section, and were only looking for some more information. I hope this does not deter you from learning more and asking questions.
once again sorry,

I'm far from an expert on this topic. However there was some interest in this when the surface rt came out I misspoke when I said rtm what I really meant is rt. Rt is only given to manufacturers. No one has it and if they did they would be sued into oblivion. This is the only type of windows that supports arm processors. No developer wants to get involved in this.

Let me make it abundantly clear. Its never going to happen. Not only is it impossible to do, no developer wants to get involved. If you really want windows 8 I would highly suggest purchasing a windows phone along with your Android.

I actually think a windows 8 phone would slow down a note 2 BC the OS is so memory hungry.

If you're not going to post anything constructive and stay respectful then it's probably a good idea that you don't post anything at all. Many OS' have been ported to different devices so bashing others for suggesting it is just asinine.

Porting a closed source OS? That would be a waste of time.
