Locations on older devices

Hi folks.
I would like to know from you developers if it can be possible to port the Locations feature (free offline navigation) from Desire HD and Desire Z to the Legend or any of the "older" devices.
Sorry if you consider this a stupid question but I couldn't find it answered elsewhere although it must be one (if not THE) most useful application on those devices.
I've seen it working and its pretty much seamless considering the present options.
Thanks!

App not visable to user.

Why would a user not be able to find my app? The app is made for 1.6 and above and API 4 the user has a samsung galaxy gt i5500.

You also need to support multiple screen resolutions in your Android manifest file.
Even though I did in my app it still doesn't show up. So you might need to look further.

Hmm how do I set to support all or most Res?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

in your manifest file u add
<supports-screens android:anyDensity="true" />
for any resolution, if u only want to support specific resolutions there is info on googles android website.

OK thanks also this has just made me think even though I built on 1.6 and api 4 will it work on older devices like 1.5

Explain more information is needed. I see that screen to its not a bug tho it occurs when network kisses arise and prevents the video from loading correctly same thing happens on web based YouTube only it doesn't give the user a message.
IMO check your network

It is possible, and I have successfully done it. It is not very useful though. But we are not always interested in usefulness, now are we?
Anyway, google "Desire HD Linux" and I believe it is one of the first, if not the first, links. Similar method geared toward the Desire HD, which is almost identical to our device internally. It works.

Question, but isn't that just VNC?

i'm pretty sure vnc just lets you view your computer at home, or view your screen when you're away.

Do you even know why you would want Ubuntu? Is it for the GUI, our for a better bash shell?
If you look around (I accidentally found this only a week ago) you can find Debian images for the android that they have had out since the G1. And they work on the MT4G.

Which this essentially is in the video you even install vnc lol

now the real shocker would be if we could put windows mobile on our mt4g or dual boot either 2 android roms or windows mobile and android.

Yes, it uses VNC. It is used since there are no video drivers available for Linux on this platform, which is difficult due to the lack of code/documentation from Qualcomm. Ubuntu is actually running on the phone's hardware through a chroot shell, and VNC connects to the local host via a socket connection to provide the display. Just a way for the display to be displayed, if you will.

Firefox OS for iPhone 4

I have this iPhone 4 that I don't use, and I remember from something I read (probably an official Mozilla forum) about the iPhone being supported but I can't find the page again. I was wondering if anyone knew about a port of Firefox OS for the iPhone 4?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app

I really don't see how it would be possible to run Firefox os on an I phone because i believe is based in Linux and would require a Linux kernel. I'm pretty sure that iOS devices are not based in Linux so you would need a new motherboard compatible with the I phone hardware that ran android

I think there' s no possibilty to see firefox on iPhone!

It makes sense that it wouldn't work, but I thought iOS was UNIX based?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app

I'm really not sure if it is Unix or linux based since I don't really do anything with Firefox os but either way there's no way I would run on an iphone
sent from my nex7

Aside from needing drivers for the hardware (which I imagine isn't completely proprietary to the iOS hardware), FFXOS needs an unlocked bootloader to work.
I'm not entirely sure the bootloader on any iOS device has been successfully replaced yet.

Why dont you sell the iphone and buy a Nexus instead? Fully supported by Mozilla and a Tier 1 device.

it's impossible

Great idea. I have a nexus 5 and firefox OS works really food on it.
