He should sell it and buy an android.

At the moment it is not possible and don't think it will be in the near future, Windows Phones have the bootloaders locked down and it is very difficult to unlock them to even accept custom WP Roms, Normally involves hours of developers time to try and create HSPL in order to accept any kind of modification, And this will normally only occur if there is enough interest in a particular handset and a bounty is set for the devs.

Android handsets nowadays have dual core and even quad cores and you would be better off purchasing one of those as in the post stated above.

i think your friend is mad!
1) why he choses a win phone if he needs android
2) it's impossible porting android on nokia 820 or other win phone because le OS are made for different hardware.
i can't believe in this question.....

As far as I read Sony Xperia V will be running Android on Intel Atom. But this will be launched in 2013.
And as far as I read you have to pay MS Money for getting WinOS 8 Devices in Developer Mode.
So why won't he sell it? And if its a company device he shouldn't break it

Actually this is very good question, I respect and admit that this can be done but of course if huge number of people request. It just like apple when now OS6 cannot be jailbreak, but it will be. I think that the initial request is to hope that somebody work on this, ho about if there is sponsor??? anybody:victory:

I agreed with you. Why people not open mind to receive and try out of the box. It is benefit to you all if someone can do it, you can use dual OS for difference purpose. You can do what Android can also you can do what WP8 can. I think it is great only waiting for someone make it happen Cheer!

Still is a good idea

I would be happy if i could have a dual boot device ( WIN8 + Kitkat ) Thats why i think many users ask for this.
Keep hoping...
