Hi All,

Was just wondering whether there was a Windows 7.5 (Mango) ROM available for Sensation/XE.

Just curious to know how that looks/works on XE.

Regards,

As Windows Mobile is not 'open source' (available for free and allowed to be modified) it would be illegal to put a copy on our sensations, xda allows putting newer copies of Windows Mobile on phones with Windows Mobile as standard OS as the license has technically already been paid.

Also recoding all hardware drivers to work on windows mobile would be a pain in the ass.

Download and flash a MIUI rom then get a WM7.5 theme and flash, its the closest you will legally get :)

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies. Was just curious. Didn't know all these details on Windows OS. Just wanted to give a try to 7.5.

My question has been answered.

Regards,

WM 7.5 doesn't support dual-core so even if it was not a problem of license it could never work on a sensation.
