To be honest why would you want to do that for? But too answer your question I think maybe some of it could be like the widgets but I'm not sure about the rest

You may have read that, but it is not true. There is a lot of effort involved in porting a user interface line Motrblur or Sense from one platform to another. In most cases the UI is not open source and without the source code it is very complicated and some times impossible.

ok thank you thats the type of advice i need.. cause just need to figure out the specs and if its even possible....

i just read all the specs on the motorola back flip and they are practically the same as the aria the just a slower processor ..... n the led flash..

like tpbklake just said... Motoblur sits on top of android and it is most likely not open source, and will be difficult (near impossible?) to port over. I'm no expert, but in any situation the specs really shouldn't matter. FYI (for your information) you can get a backflip on ebay for under $100 if youre that desperate to have motoblur.

Y do i have to be disperate.. just a reg guy tryin to add to the dev of the aria.. is everyone on the site out to disrespect people tryin to learn wat they no.. wtf thanks for ur input anyway dude

Now, THIS phone has nearly identical specs to the Aria. I'd try to find a ROM from this and go from there. If you're brave enough, flash it! But I'd recommend rooting your phone and having clockword mod installed with a working nandroid backup first.

ok thanks for ur help i will try to flash some roms today and give a respond as to how it goes with the name and download links of whateva roms i try...

This is just my opinion, but if you have an Aria now, I wouldn't even bother with MotoBlur. The user integration is hands down rather horrible. Plus, like many said in here, integrating that into a rom for this phone would be a dev nightmare.
MotoBlur is a custom skin by Motorola, and the source is probably locked down! It would take a lot of time...

Here is a thread about trying to port Motoblur to an HTC device. This experienced dev finally gave up. Maybe you can gain some insight and ideas from this thread.

[Q] Dual Boot ROMs

Is there any way to partition the SD card to dual boot roms? One in the ROM of the phone, the other in a separate partition from the other junk in your SD card? I know the guys working on the CDMA hero did it, but i haven't seen anything about the epic.

I would love this option. Id have di18 running off my sd when I need to use things like the photosafe app which don't show up in froyo market

Agreed. I also think it would be nice, because you could have a powersaving rom, and a cool looking themed rom that you could switch between. I honestly want this, because my girlfriend likes playing with my phone when I'm working, and she gets mad when I change stuff.. ^_^'

That's not going too happen. Windows is copywrited it'd be like stealing a copy of windows 7 and installing it on your pc. Illegal

As long it is a Windows 7 phone it has to be Windows OS. As for android which is opensource...

its really hard to do.... but

why change your mind? just becuase someone said it was illegal?

Actually, its in the process of being done on the EVO, Its not final if it will work or start, but it was able to boot. Maybe at the End of the Summer, it may be available for the Evo, and it might get ported to the epic, but the chances are highly unlikely.

One of my favorite features of the HTC phones was the ability to dual-boot android or WinMO. The Touch Pro was awesome with this. Unfortunately HTC doesn't want to make a decent phone with a keyboard anymore, and nobody else likes WinMO.

Launcher 7 is about as close as we'll come... I'm happy enough with it

Well we all know android is better. I just want to play with it out of the sake of curiousity... I owned a tilt back in the day and I HATED Winmo. But now that the os has been completely revised and its actually good and hasn't fallen flat on its face id like to try it out. Just out of curiousity lol

It won't happen. Ever.
Incompatible hardware, closed source OS, and a dozen other reasons.

Dual Boot

Wouldn't a dual boot of some other os be nice right about now? whats an os out we should get to dual boot?

None. No other device uses the same hardware as ours and writing drivers for an entire OS is an unbelievable undertaking we don't have the devs for.

They don't have a dev community so not really. So far there has been one successful "jailbreak" that ruins their ability to update forever. Not much of a future there.

For 7 right? I know Windows Mobile 6 had the ability to dual-boot with Android just fine...

Yeah, I gave my wife my old touch pro 2, she runs froyo on it... doesn't even use winmo anymore.

The droid incredible can dual boot 2 android roms but that's becouse of its generous internal memory. It would be near impossible for us on our pathetic 400mb or so.

That's what convinced me to come to Android. I had a Windows Mobile 6 phone, and after dual booting with Android for about a month, I realized I liked it a lot better and decided that my next phone would be an Android one. And that was a big deal for me, because I was developing apps for my Windows phone but had never made an Android app before.

Very cool!.. I played with android on my TP2 before I got the epic
What build are you using for your wife? I have a couple of "non techie" friends who are stuck with TP2's and i would love to get froyo working on them. Does everything work? camera, sound etc?

The OS has nothing to do w/ whether you can dual boot or not. But more depends on the hardware and and what software and/or drivers the community has put together.
Comming from winmo, I see no reason why anyone would want to go to it from android.

You never will. It's mostly closed source and even if by some miracle someone got it working HP would sue them into oblivion.

I would like to boot Fedora 3.4 on my Epic.

I don't know if it's possible Xo Mabey the Sense team can check it out. There working on a 2.2 Rom right now, but I'm sure they'll try.

WOW!!! I would flip the F*$K out if I see this on the G1. Im not saying its impossible... You know what actually I want to see this on a G1 my friend has a G1 and she would love sense 3.5(zero) on her phone.

It IS working. But someone (tvall <3) deleted his booting build and i made something wrong that it wont boot anymore Q.Q

I will test it on my G1 if you want me to?

It'll be hard to test smth. you dont have and I dont have... Hard to port it right now.

OK..thanks Rush

having fun trying to get it to boot yet guys?

I think i'll just stop working on this because it's very annoying to get it boot again... -.-'

so far, it has been hell for me to try to get it to boot, and kmseg isn't helping very much haha

Wednesday ill attempt to recreate my previous success. Im such an idiot for deleting it..

There's sense builds for my iPhone 3G *Bootlace, Open iBoot,* We got Sense2.1 and Gingersense. With some magic, swap, and debloating. We can get this to work I feel just getting it to boot up is worth wild. Then let somebody iron out the bugs and kinks. I lovethis new wave of G1 Devs. Hope to see Zero on my G1 soon.

Here is the link to the extracted and deodexed userdata.img.. for those of you who missed it because you used kitchen or just looked over it..
There are the fonts, some libs, and a few test.jar/.apk that may be hindering the build from booting.

Hey e334 could you make an framework.sqf data into the normal framework files?

Of course, just use unsquashfs

Where? adb?
