The Meego OS has been ported to many Android native devices and some have even been able to dual boot. I mean the Nexus S hasn't been out for that long and it already has the port. I was wondering if someone is willing to work on this port for, lets be honest, the best Android device out there the G2. The port first came to the Nexus One and the G2 isn't that different from the Nexus One. I am not a developer but I am willing to try stuff on my G2 for testing purposes. Please we should really do this. We have gone so far with this device, why not go farther?
I want.
I miss too much Maemo

meego
+1 too
i allways wanted to try it.
I read that OP in my head in a shouting voice
But yeah souns cool
I would hold off on MeeGo simply because none of the ports are even remotely functional. No hardware graphics acceleration so its laggy. I don't think any of the features work either. Its more a proof of concept now than anything.
well considering nokia is scrapping meego and symbian, i dont suppos it would be worthwhile porting it, its such a crappy os
ok...
ok. i just thought it would be cool. but i do agree that if there is no hardware acceleration and dev support then its pointless.
It also doesn't help that Nokia has dropped support for meego and is switching entirely to wp7

So.. Just wondering... How did they get WP7 to run on the HD2 and have it fully operational... without the source?

Cause there was a pre-build of Mircosoft for the HD2 .. wondered myself before i heard about that.
How about maemo?
How about a maemo port as it is linux, just like android, and very interesting.

I would absolutely give it a go!
Yes please! +1
Meego is dead. Nokia abandoned it and left it up to Intel, who doesn't have any use for it without Nokia to distribute hardware. Intel is now supporting ANDROID.
I would love to try out MeeGo as well on my DZ, but I agree that the fact the HW accel would probably be missing kind of kills the idea.
Nevertheless, HW accel is definitely not gonna work unless some developers at least try and i will of course like to test it out if someone gives it a shot.

I know this may sound like a stupid question but since I saw this
http://www.product-reviews.net/2010/04/12/htc-incredible-running-webos-could-drop-android/
and I've always liked the WebOS platform I thought that it must be possible considering the HD2's much superior specs 600mhz vs 1ghz, ect. The WebOS platform still has the best games of any other platform (apart from the iphone) and it would be great to be able to play them on some decent hardware. I know this might not be possible but if they put it on the incredible then it might?
Please give your thoughts, I'm still looking forward to the Android port aswell but from experience using android on my Diamond and on friend's Android phones games weren't very impressive and the pre's are!
If any developers can give their thoughts it would be much appreciated.
would be nice if we could run it but i doubt it will happen

web os isnt opensource so it would be almost impossible to port. The devs are having a hard enough time with android lol
On the article says that it would be nice if that happened, but no one put webos on the incredible.
And at the end palm was bought for HP not for HTC
I rather android on the hd2, never try web os but web os on hd2 is not going to happened... sadly.
It's back
Hey, thought I'd revive this thread and see if anyone other than me cared- with webOS 2 coming along maybe there's some interest in a port?
Seems not

WebOS is built on the linux kernel, so it actually is open-source and I don't see a port as impossible:

So would that source code mentioned on this link be the entire base of the OS? Or are there some parts that Palm kept for itself? Has anyone heard whether HP plan to release the source code for WebOS 2?

yeah i could do with being a bit more patient, also thought I'd try and keep it floating. Although I'm not going to dogmatically keep it high. If only I had the time to learn and do it myself- I love what people do on here.
It seems there's been little interest in previous mentions of WebOS on the HD2, and it's not gone anywhere. I saw that there is development of WebOS for the Hero:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822401
I wondered if it would be possible to use this development to port to the HD2 as we already have the android builds running well? Correct me if I'm wrong- i know nothing about developing, I just loved the Pre until I got close to the hardware!
Someone posted earlier today in IRC the root.img and the source code for that. I'm sure Mdeejay could do something with it.

I've got to admit I've not used it extensively, but I walked into O2 stores and tried the demo phones and it was the most fluid experience I've had. I'd love to try WP7, and of course I've loaded froyo ( and ubuntu) but I've found android frustrating as information just isn't accessible without jumping in and out of an app, and I'm worried WP7 will be similar. No multitasking is a big downer for me- I do loads of work and research on my phone. With CHT2 Sense seems great, if only it was abit more stable! I'm hopeful on that one though! but yeah, WebOS seems so smooth I forgot I was moving between applications.

Go play with one for 10 minutes. You'll quickly see why webOS is a juggernaut among mobile operating systems.
Everything else just feels like **** (pretty much) once you use and have experienced webOS's fluidity and easy of use.

I agree. My nephew has a Palm Pixi and WebOS is truly sweet. Ever since he got his Pixi I have been yearning for WebOS on my HD2. If the Acer Liquid Stream launcher worked better, it would suffice me. But it has some bad issues.
Can we like start a poll for development of webOS on the HD2?
webOS (sorry Google, sorry Apple) is surely the best mobile OS out there. (I Know, I've had them all).
Well one plus side to it, is it supports homebrewing.
What does it take to code a port like that? A bunch of assembly language programming and hardware interfacing? Honestly I have wanted WebOS on any device for a long time. Since it's based on linux, shouldn't there be a way to somehow set it on top of an Ubuntu build/Android build?
And on top of that, wouldn't HP's legal team be raping anyone who even thought about attempting to port WebOS on anything?
http://www.webosroundup.com/2010/12/hacked-webos-appears-on-htc-hero/
According to this source, the entire development on the hero was a hoax. Can anyone confirm?
Any screenshots??
I would be surprised if HP made any attempts to stamp out a port of WebOS. HP has been supportive of the WebOS homebrew scene, and they need to increase their user base by any means necessary. Just like Microsoft with WP7 it's in their best interest to turn a blind eye to this sort of thing at least until their "ecosystem" has a better foothold.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we have webOS on our HD2's
Its more powerful has a bigger screen and well its an HD2...
the Palms are way to small for such an amazing UI.
Where do I donate to help this along ??????
Forreal..i would also donate myself...
I would love to see webOS on our HD2's. Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. Also heard it's very easy to port iPhone games to and it plays them just as good as the iphone... with HP behind it now, we'll probably be seeing lots of games and apps for that os.
Hi Guys
i have a question it is possiple to port wm7 to x10?
or givs there any roms??
PS: sorry for my bad english =(
We can't either upgrade android version (maybe we can but not in 'full mode') and web should be able to port Wm7 (that couldn't either be ported yet to HD2) to our X10's?
Obviously no, we cant, and moreover, i think we will never can
x10i is a bad phone
Do you think so? ok your opinion. Im proud as a hell of my x10.
Regarding the question:
Maybe one day it might be possible, but i wouldnt be sure. eg. iphone is in progress of transcription to android, so maybe android will be transcripted to wm7, why not?

The only thing tempting with wp7 for me is the xbox integration, would love to have that!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
prolly the closest your gonna get
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455
i would think we might have a chance at porting wm7 to x10 when x7 is released and we have the rom for the x7... that would be ur best bet...
that'd be great but wonder if its possible
Until the bootloader is cracked (allowing us to install whatever ROMs we wish), it's pretty-much impossible we'd ever see any way of installing an alternate OS. Once the bootloader is cracked, if someone were to put forth the effort to port the OS and get things working, technically it should be possible.
My question though is: why?
I'm personally not convinced WP7 is worth anyone's time, especially since it's as closed as iOS. Mind as well get an iPhone.
Wp7 has minimum specs that x10 does not meet. It requires 512 MB ram

i will never ever back to windows even if i had a chance to.
i used almost all of windows versions and they all sucks and lags alot and have many bugs ... unlike android.
that my opinuin
So, any plans to bring WebOS to the HD2, now that it's opensource?
webOS is a good OS, but i hope devs will continue on meego first
What has WebOS got to do with Ubuntu?
What has WebOS got to do with Android or WM?)
WebOS isn't yet open-sourced, HP just said it will do that. No sources are available as of now, and it's silly to ask when it'll be ported to HD2 if we even don't know when sources will be available. But, it might me easier to port than meego, as meego's most interesting version (from nokia n9) is closed-source, and opensource meego is, according to devs, not much usable.

This one looks like kernel (and possibly some other GPL-ed components) sources. And it is there probably since a long time. So no, WebOS isn't open source yet.
Sorry for posting the question here. I thought , as nobody really looks at the meego board anymore, I should ask it here as the guys'n'gals that are into porting Ubuntu to the HD2 are a little more hardcore and thus apt to give an honest perspective on whether or not this could happen. I read on the Verge that someone had it running on the Evo 3D so maybe it isn't that far fetched.
As I have understood some of the UI/UX stuff is not open source yet.
We shall come back to this discussion when it's time for that.
WebOS? I'm still waitng for further development of Ubuntu! Sound? Calls? Magldr?
Bumping for interest and the sake of prosperity for our mighty HD2...
Face it Meego is going nowhere slow, if anywhere at all... With the announcements of nokia going to wp. Ubuntu is making very small but slow baby steps...
So why not stir up a craze that'd baffle the internet media once again with the viral power of what the HD2 can do?
It's been ported to many other HTC devices so why not our HD2? We can't just let it die with millions of android and wp builds and lack of interest in other projects such as linux and meego, so I only see one other hurdle to jump that being WebOS.
Well, we'd have to find someone, who could port it... If I wasn't a total failure when it comes to programming and stuff, maybe I could do it :x
The difference between Android and other OSes is Android is popular and it's rather easy to cook a ROM... But here, we'd have to work from scratch. And nobody wants that. Shame on you, community, shame!
The only thing I see possibly coming next for the HD2 is WP8 (Maybe, if it's possible or at WP7.8) I rather hate WP and still love my huge variety of apps and customability with WM... I'm doing Win95 on it, Boxmax SD XDAndroid Sense and Ubuntu...
I don't see why or how it'd be so hard if so many other HTC's have it running already, get the closest build with matching spec's between the HTC HD2 and whatever HTC is remotely similar to our in hardware, edit it for Android maybe and change the drivers of the HTC (In question) to the HTC HD2 in code by similarity of Android builds for HD2. On a side note, I read that the HTC Evo 4G is the same phone as the HD2 on XDA, so if we could find a WebOS Build for that we'd be off to a good start. Then onto the debugging and next step is glory.
If I knew anything about coding and cooking I'd give it a whack, but I don't know much about it.
+1 on WebOS on the HD2...
I have it on the Touchpad and I love it!

Windows 8 is Windows 7 and we did that already, we'd just be spinning our wheels or going backwards then instead of moving forward with bootable os'es.
If you want Windows 8 so bad on your HD2 hunt around for a 7.8 rom, closest you'll prolly get. Anyways you could get in a whole lot more trouble cooking an OS/Rom onto an unsupported phone that hasn't even been released yet to normal consumer users yet.
WebOS would be great those who aren't ready for Android or don't want it and those who don't like WP, but desire something other than WinMo 6.5.
WebOS is dead...
Still would love to see a new OS once in a while. +1 for WebOS, +1 for MeeGo, +1 for Firefox OS (or whatsisname)
For the 8X, will it be possible to port android, similar to how it has been done for the HD2?
Sent from my Cellular Telephone, which can do magic things over the internet.
Or for the One X, will it be possible to port win 8???
I'm pretty sure they (devs) will get android working on the 8x...
We have never seen Android run on any Windows Phone since the release of Windows Phone 7. Especially with the use of Secure Boot in WP8 this gets a lot harder. So it might be possible but I guess it won't happen anytime soon.
I dont think its possible...other WP7 devices have hardly got an unlock..only lumia 710 has
and WP8 has a secure boot so hacking it seems to be impossible....iv been waiting since the 710 unlock for an unlock for lumia 800, nothing till now...:/
so dont keep hopes with WP.
if you want a port, if you want open source, if you want customization buy an android phone, though i dont like android much..doesnt have the smooth WP feel!
