Nokia's MeeGo OS has been ported to Nexus,Desire and Dell Streak,if its not too hard can someone make a port for Epic?
What is MeeGo? Forgive the ignorance to the subject

MeeGo is Intel and Nokia's new (read: still in development) open source OS. It is supposed to replace Symbian on Nokia's high end smartphones.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was easier to port it to those 3 because they use the exact same processor, probably nowhere near as easy as setting it up for the "hummingbird"

The only phone I'm aware of that has official support for MeeGo and is in the market at the moment is the Nokia N900, which has a ARM based processor and I know those three phones don't use the same processor as the N900. The Hummingbird processors are also ARM based so porting to it shouldn't be too difficult. I would think getting it to work with the other hardware inside the Epic would be a bigger preventing factor than the processor BUT I'm not really a programmer so I can't speak from experience.
Plus as usual with Linux - Where there's a will, there's a way.

If someone can get me the manual with the coding details of the hummingbird processor from Samsung...it could be well worth the effort. Every type of port could be completed if we got the manual to the Hummingbird Processor

No,N900 runs Mamemo OS,Nexus One and Desire ports run MeeGo OS,which in essence is a striped down version of Maemo but for smaller screen phones.
Whats funny about it is that Nexus and other ports came out before new nokia phones and there is still no Nokia phones out that rocks MeeGo os,yet.
Just google MeGoo Nexus Port,its a slick looking os.I read the original article on engadget.
Every mobile platform is essentially ARM based, the difference is, those phones are using the Qualcomm Snapgragon processor, while the N900 is using TI's OMAP processor. Both are ARM Cortex A8 architechtures but they do differ quite a bit in their SoC execution. Hummingbird is closer to the OMAP processors, they even share the same family of GPUs.

MeeGo is not a "stripped down version for smaller screens". MeeGo is more of a combinataion of Maemo and Moblin (Intel's mobile OS), though I think it is being built from the ground up. Screen size has nothing to do with it.

Since N900 and Humingbird are the same than maybe we can get Maemo port.Two things I don't get,if all these phones share almost the same architecture and cpu's,why hasn't anyone ported WebOS or iOS yet?And why are we GalaxyS owners not being blessed with all the goods like Nexus1 owners,considering that there is more GalaxieS sold than Nexus.

I'm well aware the N900 runs Maemo Linux (Debian port) BUT if you check out the MeeGo handset project blogs (specifically the handset ones) mention "Hardware adaptation support for Intel Atom-based handset (Moorestown) and ARM-based Nokia N900".
Since the Nokia N900 is the only phone that is available to the public, it is the only phone that has official support for MeeGo at the moment. I would link to the article but I'm not sure if that's allowable but you can just check Wikipedia's entry for MeeGo and click the link provided in reference #9.

Yeah,you are right,MeeGo is Moblin OS and Maemo merged.MeeGo is a replacement for Maemo,it just looks different from phone version because they have different versions for different devices.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same way that Apple's OSX is now Intel-oriented, but there's only mild effort (from what I've seen) to get it ported to all Intel-based systems. Still, though, there is [somewhat] active Hackintosh development, so it is probably possible if there are some dedicated and ambitious developers that for some reason want to get Android devices running iOS or webOS.
But it seems to me that "unique" _features_ of said OS'es are much easier to bring to Android when we want them specifically.

Sorry man. Kind of new to the forums. Thanks for the reply though.
Welcome to XDA. Read the rules. Read the forum stickies. Have a good time.
Gingerbread? I kind of doubt it will all the the devices that keep coming out. People will be upgrading and there aren't that many CDMA Hero devs as it is.
WP7: Never.
From what I hear gingerbread will require a 1gz processor 512mb RAM and higher spec gpu. So it'll be like running windows 7 on a Pentium 3.

You heard wrong bro, I gotta say. A mobile OS with reqs that high borderline leaves mobile and move into "very tiny laptop that makes phone calls"
Considering the specs of phones released this year, ones being released this year, and 1.5 ghz dual processors on the way, I wouldn't be surprised.
Do some research, gingerbread is supposed to require the specs mentioned by zenulator, if we some how got it ported to the hero, it would be far from an official release.

Not completely wrong but not right either.
1ghz cpu, 512 ram is the recommended specs for gingerbread.
read here: http://techie-buzz.com/mobile-news/android-3-0-a-k-a-gingerbread-requirements-updated.html
There is definitely a chance of porting it to the Hero someday.
People don't understand the different between "Recommended Specs" and "Required Specs" - I find our customers don't get it all the time at work.
Recommended means - this is what it needs to work well, and probably the minimum to which it is tested.
Required means - If you don't have X,Y, and Z - it ain't gonna work - and if magically it does, don't call me when its having issues.
Honestly, there has been very little confirmation from Google that Ginger Bread will require this, just lots of speculation and rumor. Google stays tight lipped about stuff for a reason, they are publicly traded and anything that slips can effect stock prices (Martha Stewart flash backs any one?)
Hero getting a port of Ginger Bread? It's possible, but the likely hood that the CPU/GPU can handle what they have planned? HIGHLY doubtful. Your holding a device that is 3 releases "old" (eg. Was launched with 1.5, got 2.1 - now can haz 2.2 if its hacked) , thats like asking Microsoft to install Windows 7 on a machine that was originally sold with Windows ME (if you have blocked the existence of ME out of your head, go back to Windows 98 - its not that far off...) Given that example is a little extreme, but most comparisons are - the point still holds true.
The rate of change over the last 1.5 years in the smart phone market has been absolutely incredible, and working for a company who is into Mobile computing - it's a friggin nightmare to keep up. I would dare to say we have beaten Moore's Law in the last year of developments in concern to Mobile - with the exception of the price of devices coming down.

Hi guys I'm a veteran game programmer who is venturing into Android development.
I am looking at getting an android phone for development test but also communication purposes (I don't have a smart phone atm)
I am torn between the SGS and the HDH, the sgs appears to have the better gpu, but the hdh has htc, so it will most probably get 3.0.
I am in Australia and there isn't a viable option for a nexus one.
What do you guys think? Just keep developing on the emulator until the HDH is released?
Desire HD features the new Adreno 205 GPU, which is basically on par with the SGS GPU (at least according to the first benchmarks).

Not entirely true, since it depends for which architecture/API the application was written.
http://androidandme.com/2010/10/news/3dmarkmobile-gpu-showdown-adreno-205-vs-powervr-sgx540/
@Milali: for compatibility's sake as well as for the potential of developing on a constantly evolving platform in a timely manner, I would definitely recommend the DHD.

+1. I would like to add that CPU\Ram on the DHD will be better than on G2, so benchmarks and general performance will take a boost. Anyway I would like to see how the SGS scores when it takes Froyo onboard, last but not least, at the moment a lot of game are optimized for the SGX GPU....so difficult to see real power of DHD with actual software but I'm planning to take a DHD as soon as available in Italy

If i was a proper full time developer, i would purchase a nexus one and a flagship htc device...
Reason being you can test so much more on the nexus as its 100 percent unlocked and open to whatever code you would like to chuck at it
Then once completed you can find a way of porting what you have built to the desire HD, if it needs any porting at all;P
A Serious Dev's phone is a Nexus one
JD
okay first i dont know if it will be based on the galaxy s line or not but if it is these are the reasons i believe it will be.
1) 7 million galaxy s phones sold. i dont think an explanation is needed here.
2) 6-axis motion well this is a phone already made with hardware that is supposed to be supported in gingerbread, along with 7 million galaxy s users. thats a user base already set up for developers to jump into 6 axis apps. smart move.
3) gpu! if the orion set is used every single android user will be screwed. think about it. the nexus line is for developers, it sets a bar for apps to be designed for. all of the phones coming out, scorpion procs and tegra 2s have close to hummingbird gpu performance.so it only makes sense.
4) its galaxy s not galaxy 2. this is simple the nexus s would allow developers the chance to design apps for phones out and coming out. not blow every one alway and make everyone buy new phones coming out a year from now that can keep up.
5) software support. a nexus s means proper jit for the arm8 based procs. like the hummingbird and the motorola crowd. both are based closer to arm8 specs and both will benefit. also the software support for nexus s will help sammy with the entire galaxy s line.
6) big finale. the orion blows away everything coming out. having a galaxy s based nexus allows sammy to come out with the next super phone that will milk money from everywhere. just like the galaxy s line. a nexus s means sammy might see that 10 million on the galaxy s line. with improved software for the entire line, and developer support. along with more customer that will switch to galaxy 2(more money)
7) last but not least, the nexus line doing what its intended for. developer phone. the nexus one was a huge success but not in sales. it set a bar for developers and phone manufacturers. by coming out with a nexus s google doesnt have to worry about sales. the line already has 7 million. the idea is to push the bar of the platform and set a phone that all others must meet or exceed.
so basically the nexus s with the hummingbird will set a bar gpu wise for app developers and push android into more gaming without losing support for current and coming phones. it will also introduce 6 axis and other technology, most we already have. it will optimize the jit for arm8/9 and set a base for future phones to meet. with this much graphic performance we might see gpu accelerated ui, either in gingerbread or honeycomb. both the nexus line will see. so there are my thoughts behind googles nexus s possibility. its a smart move and will unify android development while still killing apple. its all about customer support and being better than the rest. also money(money money money)
I would like to hear other opinions

I actually agree with you fully here. You bring up some excellent points.
Something that really hurts android is its serious lack in gaming. The iPhone and iPod Touch have actually become real consoles, and are taking charge in that field with new features such as "Game Center".
The reason why companies don't bother with Android devices, is because of the difficulty of supporting all phones.
Setting the standard with this higher GPU, would definitely help Android in that respect.
With Samsung, Google can also highlight the importance of the display. The only display that can actually compete with the Retina at this point is the sAMOLED, and Google wants to be competitive in that field as well, by teaming with Samsung.
I think it is smart of Google to join with a company that has already done the research and already has the means to produce the hardware for a phone that Google is designing more advanced software for.

This is the part I don't understand. Microsoft made it an open platform to support all kinds of hardware in their Windows OS, which is the primary reason why they are dominating the desktop/laptop segment. How come we don't see Android OS replicating this success in the Mobile OS platform? I know its apples to oranges but you cant help but see some resemblance and question why you do not see the same results.

MS releases a major Windows update every 3-6yrs. Google has released 4 major revisions in 2 yrs. That's the reason. It takes resources to get your phone up-to-snuff - you can't dedicate these resources to constantly improve something, so mfgs let their products stagnate. The PC is one-and-done for years at a time.

Actually it is. In one year android went from 3% to 25%, thats massive. And he meant app devs not supporting android as well. The reason comes to money market and software. Apple has an edge on the gaming field mostly because of money and software more fit for gaming. This is something google is fixing and will dominate. The ndk is the main reason we have decent games but more needs to be done and more is being done. For the moment apple has the app developers, but android has the support and customer base that will change all that. Please remember android is java based. What I think google should do is create a multilevel programming language with at least 3 levels. Low level functions for native use mid level like java with byte code and finally high level thats web based. All in a single language allowing the best performance and compatibility.

By putting Android on every crappy piece of hardware imaginable.
Unless you think Backflips, Arias, and the barrage of low-quality devices are superphones.
Windows Mobile did the same thing, and paid for it.
Manufacturers use Android because it's cheap. Android jumping up so much in marketshare was not surprising to anyone. The tech press just rode the tidal wave because it's Google and supposedly "Open." They love things like that, and they love drama (pitting companies against each other i.e. iOS vs. Android vs. WinMo/WP7 vs. Nokia).
With the amount of support a majority of Android handsets get (updates, etc.), they mind as well be feature phones. The same could be said for a plethora of Windows Mobile 5.0-6.x and Symbian devices.
if you look at the sdk's new features its obvious the galaxy s was the perfect phone

I love my quadcore core CPU the attached image is what I get when I clicked the OPs link as you can see all 4 cores are working. The more cores the merrier thats how I feel. Even if a app only uses a single core four apps can each use their own core. Also I believe as smart as the DEV are here it would not take them long to realize how to utilize each core either independently or together.
qualcomm is not going to have product to show until 2012, tegra 3 is half a cycle ahead with products in august of this year. This is a huge advantage and gives them more time for architecture optimizations.

The most common defense verbally is "you don't know what your talking about". No surprise that is your response. I never said the technology should never be supported, I do think that it is premature. Considering what four devices will have dual-core. So why do we need quad-core in the next 1yr to 1yr and half? Android isn't even fully supported with dual-core yet. Not to mention the app devs have not started writing support. Again if your going to sound like some kid and come back with a moronic response like that. Then ignore my posts.. The link was not immature, so you fail to understand. The content in your post and the title is what got you the immaturity label.
You know what's sad? That chip right there would be a much-needed improvement in my PC... And yet they're focusing on smartphones for this...
To the upset kitten, relax bra. He just has ideas and I'm all for the quad core but not yet. They need to slow this down instead of releasing all of these goodies at once because phones are starting to be more and more like computers...which is the point I suppose and I'm for it but dammit make my first gen snapdragon single core run like a boss!

Android is fragmented as hell and needs to be cleaned up which I'm hoping for in the upcoming android firmwares/updates. I think we can all agree that my Evo shouldn't have any trouble running its basic apps and hickups in scrolling, I need the loose ends tired up.

I don't understand why people always try to dismiss new technology as useless just because it hasn't been the standard..[obviously, because it's new]
i dismiss it because our phones can't even properly use dual cores, and because a faster dual core over a quad core will often give your desktop higher user inference scores.

It can't....yet.
Android 2.4/3.0 phone/tablet respectively...will bring dual-core support.
Quad-core support won't be far behind [if not already added with dual-core support]
Unless you think development just stops at two cores??
Because that's what it seems..
Looks like there might be a chance Samsung is going to release a WP7 version of the SGS II.
If possible to port...it would be very fun for the community...

Key part of article:
Of course a move to Windows Phone would also require the Galaxy S II chipset to be replaced with a Qualcomm Snapdragon, but those are quite capable too so it's no biggie.

Sounds like fun... Exynos CPU and Mali GPU, why not port an OS to it that's totally closed source, to a totally new architecture...
I personally wouldn't hold my breath
Not sure how many ppl would go from Android to WP7 tbh ...
