Just wondering if anyone had tried porting it or anything like that. That would be neat.
Go ahead and try it. Let us know how it works out for you...
I'll try and fiddle around with it.
There was a thread about it and someone was working it, but its under all these topics. Would be nice to have though.

I don't think any true "porting" would be necessary. If we were to push/pull the right apks/libs, it would probably fire right up. They have a system dump of the Motorola Enzo in the general Android development forums that I was looking at last night... the system/app directory seemed to contain multiple apks related to the blur interface...
I didn't look to far into it... unsure if it'll run on 2.1 currently. I'd rather work on porting Windows Mobile Classic.
I attempted and got it booting, but didn't have time to fix the issues.
Once we get FriendStream I think blur is useless.

Maybe, but FriendStream honestly kinda sucks compared to MotoBlur in my opinion. Not as feature rich.
do they even have motoblur yet running on anything 2.1? Don't think the droid has it...
If you are going to try. Go download s_blur on the G1 forums, it would give you a good starting base, then take it appart pull its kernel out, put our kernel in.
I had to stop when I was having issues with my linux liveCD and using CPIO. Can't unpack/repack the files with out that. and for some reason it just wouldn't work for me. I was going to try again one day because it would be cool.
But anyways:
Once you get our kernel in it, it will boot. but just about everything force closes.
Where do you get FriendStream?

?, I haven't found it to be anymore feature packed (From what I tried on the Moto Backflip), FS is more compacted whereas MB is split (widget wise).
I think its better split up cause if you follow a lot of people its hard to manage that with FriendStream, I dont know.
if it was possible to port onto the HTC Touch then its possible for our phone it just requires a dev with the knowhow and the demand for such a rom. lets be honest as much as our devs love to tweak their phones they also need some love in the form of donations because this work isnt easy. I was building my own roms for my Touch before the Hero came along and it was tedious work. That said if its ever done I will try this out as I just bought my girl a Moto Cliq and she seems to LOVE it. I honestly tho will never buy another phone that isnt made by HTC
I was fiddling around with this too. I got it to boot and connect to Sprint.... but that's all I got it to do.

You act like that's a bad thing. I know nothing about building roms, but a start is a start. Anyhow, a blur rom would be awesome to have. I personally like the look of motoblur.
I had this running on the touch vogue when it first came out. It's ok but sense is way better for me and really don't do the social networking thing. Now if it had anti-social networking I'd be using it right now.
just saw the tp2 section and it seems the devs have got almost a full working version of linux ubuntu running o the phone. internet and everything minus no phone or sms.
can we get this on our heros? any devs interested in trying to get this working with the phone and sms too? the hell with 2.1 if we could have this!

Not having a hardware keyboard would pretty much make it useless.
If you could get a BT to work, couldn't you use a BT keyboard, impractical yes, but kinda cool has a proof of concept.

it's still a work in progress and i think it would be a great challenge and a change of pace for our devs here if they put there minds together. since we are all waiting on 2.1 anyways.
there already is a virtual keyboard in ubuntu that works on this build. the tp2 just happens to have a real keyboard is all.
Other than the challenge, what would be the point? You would lose all the phone functions... I don't see any advantages. Help me understand why anyone would want this. Maybe if you could dual boot of the SD card... that would be cool.

I have a telus htc vogue with a broken screen, anyone know where I might find one? Out of pure boredom i would like to get it working.
Unfortunately they don't seem to have parts lying around for this device these days. A peek through craigslist showed that there are used htc touch's out there anywhere from $40-100 depending on the condition. Because the screen is one of those unwarrantied things that likely are expensive to repair/replace, I'm guessing it's almost better to replace?

Hey jamezelle,
I have a Vogue with a broken power button (in the main board) laying around. If you just need the screen, I can sell it to you for like $10 + shipping. The device works great otherwise, I just haven't got the time to fix this thing...

there are three different screen manufactures for the vogue screen meaning different drivers. i don't remember the manufacturers names off hand, but i know dzo's android kernel auto detects which screen you have and then uses the appropriate driver.

yes elelinux!
do you think when the sources get released you would have much chance of building a full (or near full) working honeycomb rom?

I think it's possible, but it will not be easy. Especially because Honeycomb is made for tablets... and not for our phones.
If it's built from SDK I bet that almost none of the hardware is working...

That is correct, but strangely all the backlighting of the buttons etc worked out of the box, buttons it is easy to fix if you want.
Just a little test for fun nothing else, also saw that there was support for mdpi so theoretically it could be working on Hero with some manual intervention.
Another thing to, boot up without problems

Yes but hardly anything is working! Even the Nexus one has no audio,wifi,bluetooth,calls!
Yes, it is foolish to ask for a ROM that's meant to run on tablets to be made for phones. But I never have never said and never will say no to a new ROM...
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
Yes it's going to run like ass and our screens won't do any good either.
But... as always, I'm eager to see what crazy stuff the ROM-people come up with.
but the sdk version includes some feature of switching from tablet to mobile mode by simply changing resolution... they won't have included it if it wasn't meant to be run on mobiles, and in 3.1, mobile (2.x) and tablet (3.0) development lines shall be joined (says wikipedia lol). moreover, lots of people out here said it would be impossible to run 2.2 and 2.3 on hero, and right now i'm looking at my rooted android 2.3 hero which is incredibly smooth and stable (way better than with stock os). so why shouldn't it be possible? ele just said even backlight of the buttons worked out of the box, which was not case in 2.x. i'm still believing in our developers (although i can't code well enough to support them ) and i'm sure they'll do some magic
greets, Summoner
Do you really use wikipedia for truths? Anyone can add to Wiki?!
no i don't... i just think it sounds possible... otherwise, there would be two future development lines which the consequence would be that there were VERY different features depending where more / the better devs work on lol^^
i didn't claim it was the absolute truth, otherwise i wouldn't have explicitly said it came from wiki ...
greets Summoner
am i missing something or there really is no custom ROM for Flipout? no cyanogen, MIUI, cronos or anything? the only custom rom i found is (ROM) FlipDroidMod2.1_SoftMod[wip](no blur) ..is that all? i don't wanna complain or anything.. i'm just surprised as i have Milestone and there's plenty of ROMs for that one though it has locked bootloader like Flipout..

it was an auction server like ebay.. some guy bought it last month, tried it and didn't like it so i bought it from him for 238$ which was pretty good since i'd have to pay 415$ if i wanted to buy it by myself from a shop.
here i can find it for 110 euros
http://www.monclick.it/schede/motorola/SM2102AD3H1/flipout.htm
I started forgetting shops and ebay for phones:
- online stores or mobile providers for phones
- ebay for covers, repair kits, batteries and accessories
btw, I'm using it @500mhz with no prob (you can set it to max 250mhz too to save battery) so it can support gingerbread easily
Motorola is quite strange: it uses .sbf roms instead of common .zip ones
So clockwork recovery must be ported and then roms can be cooked easily I guess
With this price it can find a place in many pockets and the physical keyboard is a plus for it

110EUR is a great price.. maybe even a weird price
i'd get it from online store as well but than that offer came up so i took advantage of it.
anyway, it seems to have the same processor (Cortex-A8) as my Milestone/Droid so it might be a good thing to port it from other Motorola device like this. Well that might sound pretty stupid 'cause it might be so obvious.. i really don't know anything about porting, sorry. I also have Openrecovery which seems to be a port of clockwock. Guess i'm gonna ask somebody with porting experience..

first, i actually meant just Milestone, not Milestone XT..
second, TI OMAP3410 is Cortex-A8 based..
OMAP is apparently something like chipset (SoCs) so though Milestone has different "chipset" from Flipout.. both have the same CPU core (Cortex-A8) though the devices still might be running different frequencies as the Cortex has wide frequency scaling range
..so it still might be a chance for a good porting base... i guess..
and the price seems to me suspiciously low, but that might be only because in here the Flipout is expensive.

I just got an unlocked flipout...kind of impulsively when I thought I had lost my phone (less than 1 year into its 2 year contract)....probably wouldn't have if I had read the forum first. But, my old phone turned up....
So, if there's a way to upgrade its ROM, I'm interested. And, I'd be interested in helping....its been a long time since I've done anything like this, but sounds like something I could dive into now (though I may still activate my FlipOut just so I can get data occasionally when I'm not near WiFi...)
The Dreamer.
So.. i have my new Flipout. Gotta tell it's an awesome thing.. though the display is really bad. Anyway, i already had to flash it several times i hated the old lockscreen so i modded framework-res with resources from froyo..but it has some weird issue which i hope get fixed somewhere in the config files.
Another thing.. phone memory. I'm not an app freak but i like my.. apps, ok i'm a freak. Anyways.. i'm already running low on phone storage so right now i'm heading for memhack.. if anyone already done that with Flipout, let me know.
EDIT: ok, i've just built in memhack and it's working now so never mind. if anyone interested, i can post instructions.
