Progress is being made! I wish I could help, but I'm not that good at cooking sweet ROMs. I'll just be patient and wait for the good stuff to come. It's only a matter of time

Hehe, he all have to start somewhere right?
An easy way to explain it is if you think of your device as a regular home computer. A "ROM" would be a piece of software that includes the operating system, drivers, and can include added applications. Basic, but do you follow?
kinda like emulators and roms? like a N64 emulator and it plays N64 ROMS.. ROMS are the games..? the games (APPS((roms) and the cell(titan((emulator))

Well, no, not exactly. That would imply that your device is somehow emulating an OS within an existing OS.
The ROM is "package of sotware", including a "native" Windows CE OS and drivers/software for your specific device.
Without a ROM, your phone would be inoperable. It would be like having a computer with an empty hard drive.
ohhh ok gotcha so why are people tryin to change up the rom? what are they tryin to do cuz the only thing i plan on doin when i get the mogul is getin the Iphone theme lol but if there addin cool stuff i would def be interested

That's a question with about a hundred different answers.
Primarily, people change around or "cook" ROMs to make their device better. This can include, making it run faster, lighter (less bloatware), more stable, etc.
Also, for some devices that can support it, stepping up the OS is another reason. For example, you may buy a phone that was purchased running Windows Mobile 5. But after some time Windows Mobile 6 was released on other, similar phones. So, some developers or "chefs" on this site take basically an image of the updated OS from one phone, tweaks it, adds some things, takes away others, and voila! A phone with an updated OS, running better than ever.
sweet something to look forward to especially since im puttin the iphone theme on my phone and thats takes alot of memory to run
Hey, the ROM for the Palm Pre is out.
http://palm.com/ROM
http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/pre_p100eww/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar (source)
If someone gets the ROM, wouldn't it be kinda cool trying to get it on the HTC devices?
Since I have no skills in programming or porting, I want to say that I'm interested in the thought. So who else is with me?
http://forums.precentral.net/web-os-development/184378-ok-rom-comes-30.html
Seems interesting. i cannot help but i would be interested in seeing this ported too. The only issue is that it is limited to devices with a keyboard as webOS does not have a software keyboard.
yes, but since they have "cracked" the OS, some have managed to build a "hello world" app. So touch keyboard are probably not that hard for the developers on xda

i tried to boot it on my touch dual... placed all nessecary files in /lib put the files onto a microSD, changed the haret default.txt, and booted it... it worked fine, without GUI tho. it ran fsck, started alsa up and ended in runlevel 2 at a login prompt. kind of weird... might have got the wrong rootfs by mistake, im gonna check that.
edit: indeed it was at the beginning of the boot sequence ( i created the nessecary /dev nodes using mknod ) i keep getting an error from the lib ld.so, that libgoodabort cannot be loaded. it stops after that point....
webOS seems to be a very nice fingerfriendly OS...
How much is actually the chance that webOS could be able to port to WM devices? Is webOS based on *nix like Android?
hmm, is webos going to be the new android for our devices? we may never know...

Since WM can already multitask, wouldnt it be easier for some developers here to make a Windows mobile version of Tealos? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-adhk9BDnw
Make it a little more stable & with much better icons.
We wouldnt get the universal search that webos have or the notifications area at the bottom but we would still have multitasking plus everything else WM has that WebOs lacks
this will be a treat whenever it happens...but multiple resolution and everything might take some time...goodluck guys
sounds wicked!
I would love to see this happin... as don't think I could leave tha WM OS having other OS's and UI's just just more braging power for us! lol plus No expendable memory on pre meen I probly won't buy one... don't know why they do that! smartphone should come with two SD card slots minimum! one mainly for programs and second for swopable file storage (needed to drop a post so I can find this thread again)

Yea guys this would be stella!!! more bragging rights for us on why were better then the cryphone lol.... but in general the palm pre OS does like bad ass an I wouldnt mind running it/messing with it on my htc fuze!!! hope this gets done!
Awesome! I hope people get this working... It would be awesome to get it working on my Samsung i730, but I'm pretty sure the phone doesn't have much of a userbase anymore....
i'm kind of a junkie when it comes to phones, and i was contemplating getting a palm pre, but the hardware keyboard is terrible, so i wouldn't want it... but i really like the os. its just that the phone itself is crap.
here's a question though.. i read that the palm pre can do data, and phone at the same time... if it were at all possible to run the palm os rom on a cdma sprint tp, would we be able to actually use evdo rev a features, such as that?

Since June 18, 2009 Palm was make Palm WebOS to OpenSource software http://pdnblog.palm.com/2009/06/palms-open-source-portal-is-now-available/
There are Palm WebOS opensource versions landed at: http://opensource.palm.com
Go to http://opensource.palm.com/packages.html to download Palm WebOS by versions, there are 1.0.1-4 versions are available to download. The latest is: http://opensource.palm.com/1.0.4/index.html
so, is it enough to start work out to port Palm WebOS to another one?
I have a BlueAngel device and wanted to port the nice OS to my device, anyone want to do it?
Hi, I have no idea about programming and absolutely clueless about Android devolopement. I have been using x1 before the x10, and there somebody made Android 2.1 which starts off from the SD card. Even if we cannt get the phone rooted can do something like what they have done??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=622
If I sound like an idiot could the mods delete this thread please.
I believe that the X1 is WM6.5 ?
I don't think that Android and WM Devices have the same methods to root a phone...

I understood that he thinks that it may be possible to put 2.1 on the X10 with the X1 SD card method. And I answered that those 2 phones ave different OS, so for me it's not possible... that's all...
Ask jerpelea. He is a master chef and I saw him on this forum recently. I'm gonna try his x1 eclair port tonight but I'm willing to bet its great (just like everything he's made that I've used)
I thought we might be able RUN Android 2.1 from SD card just like we did in X1. I know that would not be a ROM and probably we would waste RAM too, but we might have the 2.1 anyway. In X1 they had lot of problems with drivers and everything (stuffs I don't understand ) but this is already an ANdroid phone, so drivers shouldn't be the problem (also because we already have the X10 ROM). Moreover we don't even need to map any keyboard, like we had to do in X1, cuz it has no keyboard
Theres no haret on linux..though as root you could have your system or data partition on the sdcard with no problems,just modifying the initrd..
And run windows 95 emulated too

(now is the time for someone to say WAIT THERE MIGHT BE A WAY).
Ok so nobody said "wait a minute ..... we can do this...". Fine I will say it myself.
Wait a minute I think this could be done. See if we put DOSbox (win 3.1) as an app then start the haret from SD. And then we can get even Android 2.2.
So who knows how to do it??

DosBox to run 2.2 is a BAD idea sorry...
You can maybe boot 2.2 but the performance on dosbox is realy crappy.
Another ting, will the camera work, sound, gps, 3G, mic? +++
And the last thing i think dosbox is only read-only.
Try it and give us feedback. Maybe we can use it GL
Just my 2 cent:
Dosbox would only be needed to START booting linux, so the linux image then shoud run natively. A performance problem should not exist.
On my X1 haret.exe was only used to pass over control to the booting process. afterwards WiMo 6.5 was not running in background, the full ram was handed over to Android/Linux.
So the question should be, if dosbox would prevent haret.exe from initiating the booting process (as the adresses needed are "shielded") ....

To me this all seems to make alot of sense. Dosbox.apk on SD card, Run haret, Boot Android 2.X. No altering of scripts shoould be needed for native android phones correct?
So why would this not work? Should be safe to try atleast and also alot easier than rooting the phone at this point. Am I right?

Not to screw your hopes, but dosbox emulates msdos (x86) and therefore nothing compiled for arm is going to work (not winmo or haret)

+1. im downloading it now to try it on the emulator but id rather see it on my gtab
EDIT: Did i miss understand the reading? Because I don't see the honeycomb sdk "preview" in the android sdk/avd manager
EDIT2: nevermind it's there
What is the link for the Honeycomb sdk?
The Sdk can be found at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html... follow instructions to install... once you are up and running (1)install the honeycomb packages (at bottom) (2)run a virtual machine with honeycomb as the target (3) rotate head sideways... when creating the AVD I install all hardware and beef up the vm heap size, hw.ram, and sd card and its still really slow... sorry for rick rolling but it really was on clockworkmods twitter
Helloooo World!
I did a HelloWorld application and ran it in the emulator and it worked (slowly )! I am so ready for a gtab rom that will run these apks.
My first experience with Android was running it on the HTC Touch as a fully functioning emulator running from the SD card. Any chance of doing something like that with this?
If you want to rotate the emulator "ctrl f12".
Xoom might be released end of February, so who knows maybe we can get it (Honeycomb) soon. I love this forum and the people driving it.
They usually cut the release at the same time as a device that's launching with it.

I downloaded it and had a play around. It looks really cool, but really, really slow. I know it's because it is prerelease and emulated, but I wonder just how resource hungry it is on an actual tablet? I've seen the clips of the motorola xoom running it, but that is just a tech demo video it runs, not the actual thing, so I am curious about this.
Anyway, looks really good and seem quite intuitive.
Has anyone tried to pull any of the APK's out and see if any of it works with one of our ROM's
I suspect kernel and framework issues would make this unlikely. I might try here shortly, but it's not really something I have a lot of experience with.

The reason that it is slow is not because it's resource hungry, it's because the emulation of ARM devices sucks balls.

Exactly, the emulator is slow no matter it being pre-release or release. My quadcore system with lots of ram runs it the same as my dual core low ram system. Heck the virtual Ubuntu box I sometimes run on my bigger system runs it the same.

Ha Ha, I did mention both of these reasons in my post, was just wondering if it would be fast on a tablet, in it's current form... and what they would have to do to it to get it faster.
Kind of off topic, but I'm just curious to know if anyone's tried out the Windows 8 developer preview. I'm trying it right now, and it's honestly not that bad. Some things still need work, but it's definitely something I could get use to.

Only problem is I can't seem to be able to install .net framework, hence phonemypc won't work (I wanted to test drive metro ui on my epic since its touchscreen optimized) I'm gonna keep it on my laptop until the beta expires but I'm sad to say that I want a windows 8 tablet waaaaay more than even an ice cream tablet.

Yeah I'm using it on a partition on my brand-new laptop. I really like it actually!
Metro UI is a bit to get used to, but I love using the touchpad multi-touch controls to navigate from panel-mode to the standard desktop, bootup is much faster, and I can share files fine between my regular Win7 partition and the Windows 8 partition.
@xopher.hunter, I had an issue with .NET 3.5, but it installed fine after a restart. YMMV...
I bought a Touchpad during the fire sale, and have yet to receive it from HP Small Business (have to wait for the last production run), but I wanna put Win8 on it when the ARM build gets out.
Im waiting for a windows 8 tablet to come out
I do NOT like the UI for desktops :/
WIndows 7 for my PC, windows 8 for tablet.
fk yeah.
Microsoft killed all of my interest in an android tablet when they revealed the metro ui windows 8. PERFECT TABLET OS (atleast based on what ive seen, it has all the right things.)

Its this 10 dollar app in the market, yes it is a remote desktop client but very well done and very simple to set up. Its a freaking life saver if you forget something on your computer.
I still haven't been able to install .net 3.5.1, I even dl'd the standalone but it still wanted to use microsoft update to install, and I rebooted it too. Oh well this is why I put this on my old ass laptop. Runs like a champ though only on 1.86ghz and 1.5gb of ram it seems ready for tablets alredy.

Idk, I agree it's too tablet-like, but I like how everything is together.
Definitely doesn't make sense for a computer though.
I feel like we're going backwards a bit since we're basing computer UI off of mobile UIs which are meant to be more compact.
Even in OS X Lion, they had the "Launchpad" feature where it looked exactly like you were on an iPad.

Idk. Maybe because they think it looks better than just a plain list, but now they're more interested in eye candy than functionality. Why can't we have both.
On the other topic, I would like to try windows 8, but it's not really useful for me since I have a 1024x600 netbook, so Metro Apps don't work. I've tried the hack that makes resolution higher on Windows 7, but it looks horrible with that.
my question is the lifehacker site says you need to burn a dvd or use a thumbdrive, can I also use a SD card? (don't want to waste a DVD and have no RWs at the moment)

Will not erase everything as long as you boot to dvd or usb (I don't think SD cards are bootable). You don't need to format, you need to partition (which is like grouping your hard drive, with one group for windows 7 and one for windows 8)
