Hey Guys!
Is it possible to run Meego on SGS? It is possible on HD2 and Nexus S, so why it wouldn't be possible on our phones?
P.S. Sorry for my English
Samsung haven't released i9000 sources, but htc releases sources for HD2 and google for Nexus S. I do hope that Samsung releases sources with 2.3 update since it will be last update from samsung for i9000!

So the answer is Meego would be hard to get run with phone without sources.

the biggest problem are some closed source drivers to my knowledge.

It's just a matter of someone needing to implement support.. Seeing as Nokia have mostly dropped out of the Meego partnership though (traitors), I can't imagine that the OS will continue growing much. At this time, it probably makes more sense to focus on Android 3 support

JBQueru just wrote here: https://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/91172a81604c8a0?pli=1 that the AOSP Push just began.
So it should be possible to have our i9000 roms soon
gogogo ! Cyanogenmod soon i hope

But he also stated that building aosp for nexus s wasn't easy at the moment. Going for sgs won't be easier anyway I'm still checking on xda every 5 min to see some news...

I also think so...maybe it has something to do with samsung binarys.keeping that in mind we should see the first build on a htc phone i guess.
Also,i think his post is related to supercurios root and unlock patches - this is a dangerous process

I would think its unlikely before Christmas. I mean, Samsung said they are working on one, so I'd happily use that before a proper AOSP one comes out.
will we get the ice cream sandwhich update for our devices.......

I seriously don't think I9000 will get any update beyond 2.3.x
Me to..i think dont.. But hey.. We already got ton of talent dev Here..maybe we still can taste of ics..

I will say ...
We have to look at nexus s first
Officially? Maybe.
CM7 Version? Most definitely.
For now you guys might want to try the ICS Launcher. It's currently taken down from the Market, but if you Google it you can still download it from their website for free...

Beware the ICS launcher - the one I downloaded requested permission to dial out, so I didn't take any risk and deleted it immediately.

I believe all lauchers do.
I guess ICS source code should be published first , in order for the cm7 team adopts it.

I think our phone will get ICS officially from samsung.Dont forget SGS was samsung flagship and it is this phone only that turned samsung into android champion.You see samsung is updating SGS as fast as SGS II
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I think we will and should get it as galaxy s has a very capable hardware.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Think so. have nothing official to base this statement on but I really think so. i'm not seeing google leaving nexus s on 2.3 without an update to ICS, even with a new phone coming up, and galaxy s has just about the same hardware.

And they want to avoid fragmentation so they should update us as well.

I read somewhere that any device capable of running gingerbread would be updated to ICS
I don't see any reason they won't provide an update to ICS... after all this phone was produced merely about a year ago, and is still one of the best (despite the fact that Samsung completely messed up with the RFS file system...) .
Ive also heard that any device capable of running GB will be able to run ICS, however the only thing that may hold the phone back is the limited ram :/
I do however hope we get ICS!!!

Maybe here ?
"At Google I/O I asked the Android team if Ice Cream Sandwich had any special hardware requirements that would prevent it from running on existing smartphones. They didn’t name specific handsets, but we were told that most phones which could run Android 2.3 would be able to handle the update. That doesn’t guarantee anything for current Android smartphone owners, but we expect Google’s own Nexus One and Nexus S will be some of the first devices upgraded to Android 4.0."
source: androidandme.com
This is interesting too:
"If you are a fan of custom ROMs, then you will be happy to know that Google plans to release Ice Cream Sandwich to the Android Open Source Project. Google typically releases the source code to each version of Android a few months after it debuts on a new device, but they chose not to do this with Honeycomb. Andy Rubin said Google wanted to prevent developers from putting the software on phones “and creating a really bad user experience. We have no idea if it will even work on phones.”
Ice Cream Sandwich will be available for the development community to hack to their hearts’ content and I’m sure we will see CyanogenMod 8 a month after the source code is public."
...............And maybe that Samsung could surprise us with a ICS firmware for i9000...
I think our SGS will get ICS officialy, btw I don't think it will bring any major improvement (as happened with gingerbread).
However it would be better to be updated because some new apps probably will only work on ICS.

One big: Hardware accelerated UI (and the sgx540 still a really good gpu).
After that, i think you can say it's smoother than ever on your i9000
Why would launcher need to dial out? You have a dialer / phone apk for that, I guess.

sgs has had enough updates there r new phones like sgs2 an the comming soon so thier prefrence will b first an hardware wise those will run better....i dont like the gb on sgs , i got sgs2 an the gb works kool....i think eclair,froyo were the best to perform on sgs....
more ever dev creat a good custum rom so (don expect much)..........cheeerz
Not sure where to ask this or even who. I had an hd2 and loved the fact that I could run android on it. I switched to a Samsung infuse 4g when I left t-mo.
From my experiences the hd2 ran android (an operating system it wasn't designed for) flawlessly. The infuse devs have jelly bean going but with some bugs that they can't figure out.
My question is why? Is it the kernel (still a gingerbread kernel) or lack of source from Samsung? Just curious how a windows phone can run android better than a native android device.
And I'm not knocking the devs, I'm super lucky to even be off froyo at all. Just curious.
Thanks!

Its the device itself. Though a windows phone, HD2 is very close to Desire and Nexus One. This made it that much easier for our awesome Devs to get Android working really well, along with some great skills and innovative thinking.

Hey guys! Recently having heard, Canonical is working with Ubuntu to release an image for the Galaxy Nexus, as a mobile OS. Now people think this is a great idea, at least for those who own a Galaxy Nexus. But what if you want it on your phone too? That's where Canonical and XDA would merge together, asking the developers and users of XDA, since most of them are knowledgeable,(trust me, you need to have some know-how to not get flammed), and have them beta for maybe several different phones, to get Ubuntu on a wide variety of phones sooner! And well, why wouldn't they do this? They're already taking a leap of faith and opensourcing everything and carriers/OEMs don't like that. So they should be able to take a smaller leap of faith and ask the users of XDA to be able to help them out with the distribution of Ubuntu for other smartphones. This would help them in getting more stable releases out to the public maybe faster for their device. Wouldn't this be a miracle? So please show support and sign! Thanks for your time!

Secnd that
but\ isn't ubuntu open source? can't we just port it anyway?

Its open source, but it isn't going to be as simple as the same files working on all devices my friend

Maybe, but it'll be easier if Canonical were to work with XDA users/developers hand in hand to make porting easier

Great idea. I came here looking for their build but then I see this and realize not yet. So yes let's get the ball rolling!
I honestly just want to be able to dock my phone and use it as a PC from time to time like the original Motorola build i remember seeing in the past.

I've signed, I love the idea of the XDA community playing a somewhat important role in the development of a potentially up and coming mobile OS.

XDA developers are amazing. Thinking of a world without xda-devs, what would we have on our phones? Since the days of windows mobile and developers here make miracles without them, phone developement by all companies would've been far slower in my opinion.
I encourage everybody to sign the petition as the outcomes would be unquestionnably great.
Thanks guys! There's no harm in trying!

Just wondering if it would be getting ported to the galaxy ace
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda premium
there is no porting to be done unless you know how to port the emulator thing from x86 to ARM which is incredibly difficult, at the very least, wait for an ARM based image to be emulated through the SDK, or an ARM based phone to be released with it, but even then it will still be difficult.

please read other threads regarding porting, there are no ports, and there won't be until at the very earliest the first Sailfish phone to come out, which will be announced on the 20th May 2013.
